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.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
