A good aftermarket replacement is a lock bar.

And it shouldn't be bent. And if it is, then you should be worried about the drift/crash history of the car.

Thanks but I still want the hicas. .If I put a lock bar won't that not let the rear steering work and the car is immaculate except for that particular part?

You have to ask yourself how the rack got bent,and whether it was overlooked when repairing other damage on the car.

Not saying that the car has been damaged, but for the rack to get bent something fairly wrong has happened.

Most guys bin hicas.

Hey could someone please tell me what this part is called? And should it look slightly bent like in the photo. If not what Is a good replacement?

I posted in the previous post thinking it was the steering rack?

I think its the way the photo is taken

If it just bends towards the back of the car a bit then thats normal. If its bent any other way then you may have had rear end damageat some point in the cars history

From memory they have a bit of a kink to meet flush on the hub

Because HICAS sucks balls. It's up the back of the car fiddling with the rear steering when you're trying to hold a really high speed line or switching through the esses. Not what you want.

HICAS was intended to make a car drive better at 7/10. When you get up to 9/10 or more, YOU want to be the person deciding where the car's steering decisions are sending it, not some dumb arse computer with a 1980's program in it. What HICAS is supposed to do is start the back of the car turning earlier than if it wasn't there. (It's all about how slip angles are generated and THAT is far too complicated to go into here). But that's fine on a soft and boggy factory setup. You can make the car far more responsive with suitable bushing and suspension upgrades, negating the need for a complicated computer and electro/hydro/mechanical system.

+ it adds weight, complexity and things to go wrong. All of which should not be in a sports car.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
