Removing the HICAS System
I haven't really posted cause I have been using the Search feature all the time, but this time I may need some help with this one.
I just bought a 1993 240sx SE Hatchback with Super-HICAS. I want to remove the whole system completely. I know Kazama makes a HICAS Stopper, but I want to remove the system completey so I can eliminate the chances of the HICAS stopper failing. I have been searching on Zilvia for information regarding the removal, but it seems like no one has really completely removed the system. Right now I already have a rear sub-frame from a non-HICAS S13. I know that the HICAS powering steering pump and the HICAS steering rack are different from a S13 w/o HICAS. Not sure if the power steering hoses are different. My question is has anyone completely removed the HICAS system from their S13 without using the HICAS stopper and if so how did you remove it?? Thanks in advance. |

If you have the subframe you're golden. Bolt it in, remove the lines from under the car to the pump, then put a standard pump on it. Keep the rack, it's got a quicker ratio. Remove the control unit, it's behind one of the rear quarter trims, don't remember which side though.

drivers side is the control unit for the hicas
pass side is for the abs unit. if you have the subframe, your good, make sure you got some non hicas rear knuckles, while your at it, add solid bushings, RUCA's etc, etc, do it once, so you'll never do it again

Oh I'm planning on doing it all at once. ATM I am in the middle of creating a list for my suspension upgrade. It's roughly going to be at least 4 G's. I'll post it once I finish if anyone is interested.

I believe you can keep your hicas pump. You can plug remove the vanes from the back of the pump and plug it. I could be wrong, but I believe that the hicas pump is larger. The thread I've seen is for using a hicas pump with an sr, but it's the same idea for removing hicas.
