Hello everyone..

Im a r32 owner and currently have my motor out, with the helping hand of a few chippies.. i somehow ended up with my hicas solenoid cut off with a grinder!... anyways question is now that its wrecked can i do the hicas front removal!?

so far ive had to bum the 2 lines from the rear end into eachother to stop oil leaking out all over the shop, and the solenoid from the front i no longer own :P

Its a stock r32 steering rack, and i have a r34 gtt powersteering pump

am i able to get a simple easy to ready drawing ( preferably done on paint that points out what lines go where! as after reading the thread on hicas removal, it is easy to understand(if i had all the parts still there) but now im missing gear. :( a simple diagram will go very very far... And im sure im not the only one who is or has possibly thought of the idea!

anyways any help would be awsome..

sorry if this is the wrong thread!! :D

tthats the point that im at now, i just want to work out with 2 lines to join and which lines i need to purchase!

you dont NEED to purchase anything except for the lock bar for the steering rack at the rear axle, the hicas lines can be taken off the car along with the other associated hardware, use a non hicas power steering pump and your done (hicas steering pump has feed for hicas)

basicly what im trying to sus now is where the front banjo fitting from my power steering pump can go? i have also a spare unused line going to reservior, i heard the power steering pump can be modified also to block the 1 banjo up?

can i link the front banjo line through a aftermarket cooler and back to the reservior?

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
