I had hicas but put in a S13 non hicas rack. The factory powersteering lines wont mate up so i ripped them all out and got custom ones made. Because I had a hicas pump i took the back off it an ripped out the vanes so the bitch wouldnt pump out the rear stage. I bunged it up too :)

Hella Flush so your sayying that a s14 steering rack goes straight into a cefiro with out any mods :S I find this a little different as i didnt think that s13 an s14 steering racks where the same. Not that im a silvia person unless it has 4doors and drifts it aint worth having. Cant wait for next yrs super drift rds im guna burn the candle for the cefiro crew

wait... on my 32 the front rack is completely seperate to the hicas rack, there is no plumbing between them.

on my friends CA silvia there is a connection that is bolted to the rack, but no fluid is mixed here.

i found this out when i locked the hicas on both cars so both definitely had hicas.

hicas cars have a pump that has 2 outlets and then the resevoir has 2 inlets, so the front rack and the hicas rack are completely seperate all the time.

i dont understand how a non hicas rack can be different then, cos i've definitely never seen any connections on the rack for hicas. rack has 2 connection, 1 in, 1 out

are you talking about the connections near the uni joint? where the steering shaft goes in? cos this isnt actually hydraulically connected, its just bolted on there.

just checking, ive never done it on a31 but i assume its the same as s13 as the solenoid setup looks the same from the top

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
