You can either A.) Keep the HICAS and get a CA HICAS pump. B.) Plug the lines on the rack for the HICAS and get an eliminator bar and run regular PS. Or C.) Just get rid of power steering altogether and get a bar. Other than that, the only hurdle is going to be getting the wiring harness through the the firewall with that bigass ABS distribution block sitting right in front of the hole.
Re: (em55ery)
Yes. The only lines that need to be plugged are the extra ones on the rack. You can remove the bigass solenoid below the fuel filter and save yourself about 8 pounds too.em55ery wrote:no i want to keep my powersteering but no hicas! whats involved in running the lines.. do i just plug up the hicas lines? and everyting else stays as is

I'm pretty sure your car has ABS and a LSD, right? First thing you have to ask yourself is "What do I want out of this car"? If you're going to be drag racing and drifting, my suggestion would be to eliminate both the HICAS and ABS system before you do the install and replace them with compnents from chasis that didn't come with these fancy options from factory.em55ery wrote:ok heres the deal guys.. my 240 has hicas... i hate it. lol..and i just ordered a ca motorset... what kind of issues am i going to run into with the swap.. what do i do with the hicas lines... will the ca ps pump fit up.. id like to order the kazama hicas lock bar.. someone help me out here. dee your the man give me the knowledge smackdown.

Re: (c-rad)
you also need some sort of hicas eliminator bars... to keep the back end from steering itself if there's nothing controlling the rear rackc-rad wrote:

You could also go the really easy route and sell your hicas S13 and buy a non-hicas S13.
...unless you are really attached to your car, that is. It certainly would save you a bunch of mech time.
Edit: I think when he meant replace with parts from a non-abs he meant to cahnge the rotors and brakes so you dont have to worry about it. There is also a bit of weight associated with those ABS parts you could eliminate as well.
