Need Info on 180sx/rb25det

so i have a few questions regarding parts in my engine bay as well as a question about a vacuum hose.

a bit of info - haven't really worked on this project for 2 years, basically dropped the engine in and couldn't do much else due to money issues so I'm hazy on some things that might be simple.

 

what is this? was located next to & connected to what i think is the "vacuum regulator" in the corner of the engine bay near the brake booster.

is this the "vacuum regulator", what purpose does it serve and do i need it in my 180sx rb25det conversion?

does this pipe which reads "air intake turbo mani" just go into the intake manifold?

which one of these would i attach to the other or what not to turn off abs error on the dash

(I assume its the abs making the ( ! ) come on since everything else was plugged up when running the ignition.)

got some other things I would like to know.

 

what is this vacuum fitting for? if i remember right it was connected to the actuator looking thing on the intake "tunnel" in the 2nd photo.20170514_224615.thumb.jpg.6fda9af37b57d1c226888c13e08128de.jpg

 

 

what is this and what purpose does it serve? (the actuator looking thing) was connected to the intake pipe going into the turbo if i remember right.

Also if i just put a mini air filter onto the IAC valve will it work like normal or does it need to be connected to the intake piping? (don't see why the air filter idea wouldn't work fine)

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
