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?

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
