VR4 4WS

[zen4G63]

I want to pull the 4WS out of my galant due to the power it has now and at high speeds the arse end feels like it just wants to skip out not good when u give it a boot full in to a tight corner hay. I think the car would handle better with it out and always wanted to do it.
any suggstions, can u by a kit to replace the arms or whats the best way about it thanks

I think you can buy a deletion kit.. I wouldnt mind doing this on mine.

 

[CLuTZ]

How low is your car? I had the same problem, when it was ridiculously low.

 

[kayarubin]

anyone got a link?? i think u hav to get it from the states?

kaya.

Why dont you guys want 4WS?
It's an awesome novalty from the 80's. All the cool cars had it

GTR
GTS
180's
GTO's etc etc

Anyway, this is mine.

you only need to block off the 2 hi pressure hoses and loop the return line at the resevoir back in. afaik anyway

well guys im really looking into it just got to find the parts to do it,
next weekend ill get my car up to mates workshop and get it in the air have a good look at what we need to do, and what parts are needed or if there is any custom modifications also,
want to pull the 4WS rack, pump all the lines and shit and half a tone that will come out with it, lol.
maybe there is a kit u can buy any one know or brought one,
have u noticed that the galant was the only Evo with 4ws all the Evos from 1-10 dont have 4ws due to its affect to the handling and understeer would of caused i believe.

thanks lot for that big help

 

[kayarubin]

removed my steering rack and lines and everything! just got the arm sitting with nothin holding it... seems to be pretty rigid by itself!

drives with no noticeable difference, though I haven't had it over 100 kay's yet... lol

also i've drained all fluid out of the p.s. system as the right rack seal just shit itself and its a 700 dollar job to reco it... thats with me taking the rack by itself to the people!! :O damn rip off darwin places!!!

Bloody hell thats expensive!!!
I've got my old Aspec rack sitting here doing nothing. It had a small leak where one of the lines attached but that turned out to just be an oring.
The rack itself is pretty easy to pull apart and fix yourself if you need to.

 

[zen4G63]

let us know how it all goes hope it all works out fine.
do u have a 4 bolt diff or using one?

 

[brisvr4]

Sorry, I meant to say to Kayarubin that I have a complete front rack sitting here doing nothing as I have converted mine to manual steering now.
I removed my 4ws years ago and haven't had a single problem with the rear end since.
The RS VR4's without 4WS have the same suspension style setup in the rear as the ones with 4WS. The only real difference is the lack of the rack etc.
In the USA they call it 'passive rear steer'

I found my 4ws lock out kit. Anyone interested Pm me.

 

[kayarubin]

hey bris vr4! interested in selling it at all? if so give me a yell!

cheers!

 

[brisvr4]

If I decide to sell I'll let you know Kaya
You might want to drop Jayrome a line too as he is wrecking a Ggsr atm mate

 

[JAP63]

I had similar issues, i hated the 4WS, maybe the height of my car didnt help...

In the end i simply disconnected the rear tie rod ends, it fixed it, the pump still ran etc, i got told i may burn it out, it never did though..
It was the best thing i did for my car...after the ensuing shitfight that occured on the forum here when i posted asking about it..lol...ah the old days, and the 4WS purists..hahah....Entaran where are you!!! :w00t:

 

[GVR40]

now now jamie, don't start a fight about 4WS. i pulled it out of mine as well

 

[kayarubin]

hey brisvr4!
jayrome's rack leaks fluid also.. lol. so any time your willing to sell, i'm up for it!

kaya.
