I removed every thing from the front solenoid (under plenum) back to the rear rack and looped the rear pump lines into the stock cooler. Lock bar and tomei electric thing on the hicas ecu in the boot the steering is now very heavy so how do i bypass the solenoid in the front rack or trick the hicas to give me the speed control steering back? Couldnt find anything about this on the net.

Put the HICAS computer and wiring back into it and reconnect the larger of the two loom plugs to it.

I have done everything that you have done (except also changed PS pump to R34 type - hey, it's what was on the Neo that went in at th same time) except take the computer out, and mine is just fine.

So, get rid of the unnecessary "Tomei electric thing" from the HICAS computer and just hook up the larger of the two plugs, like I said. Unless something else is faulty, you won't need to do any modifications to make the power steering work properly. I sure as hell didn't. All I did to initially kill my HICAS, back in the year 2000, was unplug the smaller of the two plugs. Everything has worked fine since then, and that remains true since I pulled all the HICAS hardware out also.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
