ok after reading all 10 pages i just want to make sure of something...

i will be fitting a hicas lock bar to my r32 gtr, do i join the 2 lines back there to each other so the fluid can still 'flow' ?

will this work fine? wont put strain on the power steering pump ?

just wana do this the quickest and best way possible,

thanks !

When I orginally removed my HICAS, I just looped the lines back into each other at the back of the car.

When I removed the lines and solenoid, I just looped it back into the itself under the resevoir.

I will now be utilising those looped lines to install a cooler :)

Great Thread!

Just 1 Question - On the GTR R32,

When you get to the stage where you remove the Red Circled pipe in the Pic below and blank it off on the Power Steering pump,

BUT

Where does the Loose pipe go to, that you have taken off ??

Thanks!!!

It goes to the HICAS solenoid. I have just finished pulling all that out of my R32. There is absolutely no looping involved when you pull it all out. The front outlet of the power steer pump still just goes to and from the rack, and the rear outlet of the power steer pump doesn't exist, because you replace the old R32 pump with a newer one and get a new line made up. All the rear steer plumbing goes in the bin.

So you removed the section with the fluid cooler on the drivrs side as well . . . ? (where most loop the 2 pipes together)

All gone. My "cooler" has been out of circuit for years anyway because it had a crimp in it, was causing high pressure and leakage in the power steering circuit. So my car had been looped out there for a decade already. But now it's all gone. I plumbed a spare little auto trans cooler into the new power steering circuit to provide more cooling than it will ever need (trying to compensate for the previous years of neglect!)

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
