genuine nissan HICAS tie rods (different to front tie rods!) are about 250$ for both. from nissan. not cheap. but if you go ling long...well...yeah

well if you got a GT-R I wouldn't use ling long, but I own a R33 GTS-t (ling long is acceptable) haha :)

^ maybe he likes HICAS :)

Theoretically it makes sense to have HICAS, and the system was revised in Series III GT-Rs like yours Paul, prior to that HICAS was pretty shit.

I've tossed mine in the bin too, but I own a fridge.

A lock bar doesn't really solve the problem that you probably have anyway. The outer tie rod ends are the spot that wears the most, and a HICAS delete bar leaves those in place. You'd still need to replace them.

Question.....does 5500 rpm relate to a particular road speed at all? HICAS is known to exhibit it's problems at particular speeds because the HICAS computer reaches "panic mode" at those points when given sensors are not working. Steering angle sensor is one that people often accidentally lose when they put a different steering wheel on the car and the hub doesn't have the drive pin for the steering sensor. On my car (last century) it would crank the steering wheel over to the (left? right?) by about 45° when over 80km/h just because no steering sensor. HICAS panic. No steering sensor also meant I couldn't put it into diagnostic mode which made it very hard to work out what was going wrong. The HICAS computer also looks at VSS, and for all I know in the later GTRs it might even be looking at the G sensors. There's lots of things that can make it act flaky.

Try to put it into diagnostics mode (no, I don't know how to do it on your car, only on an R32). Failing that, get a mechanic with a decent scan tool to hook up to the Consult port and see if there are any codes in the HICAS computer. You may have to take it for a drive and trigger the fault to see anything.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
