Im ripping out the rear steering rack on Wednesday and locking up the rear, so no more HICAS.:D

I understand that i have to remove the bulb from the dash to stop the warning light. Does anyone know of a way around this, as i would like to keep the warning light, as the front steering will obvoiusly still be connected.

Driving on circuits for 20mins at a time how hot is the steering fluid likely to get. I was thinking instead of bypassing the fluid that goes to the rear rack, i may run a small oil cooler to keep temps down.

Also how does the HICAS know the rack has been removed and fluid bypassed, i assume its some pressure sensor, would the pressure drop accrosss the core of the cooler fool the HICAS into thinking the rack was still there. I doubt it but not sure what kind of signal is used to out HICAS into fault mode

what are you going to replace the hicas rack with?

i dont think there will be a problem with some of the stuff removed, i have unplugged a couple of plugs for the hicas pump and it dosent affect anything. I removed the steering sensor so mine dosent work at all with no apparent side affects.

G'Day Roy, I just bought an R32 GTS-T that someone spent a fortune modifying. He had a Tomei system installed that stops the rear steering from the Hicas. It also uses something bolted to the rear rack to lock it solid. Sorry I don't know much more yet but a Tomei supplier may have the whole kit. I think it was intalled at East Coast Suspension Kirrawee, ask for Dave.

Yeh been meaning to get my car over to East Coast for some time, but is nowhere near where i live. Plus Whiteline did all the susp on my car and they are a little closer so ill stick with them (Whiteline and Jim are great operators, but wanted to try East Coast on the referral of my mechanic whose cars may not always have huge HP, but always handle real well)

The tomei kit actually has shims that are placed either side of the rack whereby removing any slack (locking it up) and also an interceptor module for the HICAS computer.

I have gone the other way, i will be removing the heavy rack, and ancillary pumps etc for the rear steer and replacing the rack with a tapped bar to screw the tie rods to.

Hopefully save a few kgas as well

I know a lot of people simply unplug the HICAS but i dont like this idea as there is till play in the rear steering? Oh just remembered i have some pics of the Winfield GTR, i may look at how they removed the 4WS.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
