They're both the same I believe. Buy the HCR32 one (first link), that way, if there are any issues, you can't be told you "bought the wrong item".

So AWD and RWD are the same in Hicas design?

yeaow! $$$$ Neither do away with the outer ball joints.

So its no better than a cheap ass lock bar

Driftworks

No more ball joint

Keep in mind they are selling chinese crap, so only get what you need from them.

My Driftworks radius rod is stuffed after 6 months of street driving, they dont want to know about it.

Their customer service is REAL bad, i got wrong brakelines, 4 months to sort it out.

So.... Good luck

And just jap have a handy little fitting for looping the hicas lines

Are there different types? I only have a single black bar that sits in the middle of the HICAS system underneath my car..

These look very different..

Mine still looks stock on both ends, while these in OP's link look nice, black and shiny.

The HICAS bars are a "lock". Just replace the actuator with something that doesn't actuate.

The delete kits are actually a "delete". You can do what the hell you want with the actuator (leave it, bin it) and the new parts you buy replace the old HICAS tie rods. The clever ones also replace the tie rod ends (by putting bushes into the steering arm holes), just like a non-HICAS rear end (which is still the bestest way to do it).

So your saying mine would just be the most basic one you can get?

Don't suppose you know who sells the ones with the bushes.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
