    He doesnt post here much, he's on tt.net quite a bit but normally only posts in the tech section so you may have missed his screen name. Your probably better off sending him a PM on there.

    I installed the Driftworks Hicas elimantor pictured over 6 months ago..
    The pictures above are exactly like what I received,, When I ordered the Driftworks they were out of inventory so I went on a list which took about 2 weeks and all the time I received excellent commicatioins from them. I received notice when they were shipped and received them in about 3 days..
    I live in Texas and they were shipped from the UK.
    The fitment was very good and I had no problem with the Kit, but I did with the removal of the old ball joints.. I used some heat on them and then knocked them out.
    My car is a 91 TT stage 8-10 depending on who's stage list you use.They cost less than the SPL's and in my opinion better.The total price shipped was around $380

    Hey guys, Just picked up my first 300zx TT slick top, Im all new to this sort of car and I need some basic advice on this issue. I drove the car home and noticed that about 110km/h the back of the car is swaying left and right all over the road, to the point im fighting it to keep it straigt. Is this the HICAS steering playing up or could it be suspention problem's. The car drives fine at low speed but real crap over 100k's ???? Will software help correct this issue or is it a hands on, rip it out and get a new on???
    PLEASE HELP

    Could be rear alaignment, worn rack ends, worn ball joints... Not likely to be a HiCAS fault issue.

    The problem with HiCAS is when you try to drive with opposite lock.

    A little update.

    Parts acquired so far;

    NA PS Reservoir
    NA PS Pump w/ brackets
    AMS NA PS Pulley
    Driftworks Kit - ordering soon

    I acquired a silicone J-Hose but after reading some revealing reports of silicone usage with hydraulic fluids, I'm not going to use it.

    I also came close to buying a near new NA PS High Pressure line and only found out at the last minute that I can't use a LHD high pressure line.

    Since I've never tackled anything like this before, I want to have all the correct bits in place before I start ripping the HICAS stuff out. I thought here would be a better place to ask since there might be other RHD specific issues I never considered.

    I want to have all new fresh lines so here's my list of what I think I need to complete my project. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    OEM NA PS J-Hose
    OEM PS Return Hose (straight)
    OEM PS Return Hose (formed)
    OEM PS Hose (high pressure)

    Is this list complete?
    Do I actually need both "straight" and "formed" return lines?
    Can someone give me the RHD (FAST) part numbers for these?

    Is there anything else I missed?

    Many thanks in advance.
