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

(put grinder away)remove the lines that go to the back of the car/ remove the hicas rack at the back/ fit hicas lock bar/get wheel alignment for the rear wheels= done :yes:

the back isnt a problem now :) i just need to sort out how im bypassing all the front hicas bull ! as i dont have the front solenoid thing anymore. but i still want to use powersteering!

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?

    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
    • From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man. 
    • Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)
    • If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.
