when driving, the rear of my car tends to turn at an angle as you're driving straight, but it's only really noticable in the wet.

when i make turns at high speed in the wet the car sometimes feels uncontrollable and dangerous, like it can't follow the corner through and shakes.

it definitely feels like there's something wrong in the back somewhere, i was thinking maybe rear swaybar, hicas or even bushes

someone please help

Have you had all the wheels aligned?

As above.Looks like hicas fluid stop the leak and lock it..prolly only a gasket.

While ur there rear strut brace for fun times.works a treat at high speed cornering predictability.Are you still on the stocker tyres?if yes then dissregard what i said.you need low profile tyres imo to really feel it's difference.

A more soild rear end on huge sidewall aka stockers, can make the back end feel uneasy at high speeds.

I noticed that you have the cooling veins on your diff housing.Cool.

cool thanks heaps guys i'll lock that bastard up, i never liked it anyway.

its got 275s all round so it tramlines a bit everynow and then and with the hicas going crazy, it feels pretty shite.

yeh i guess the fins must be a gtr thing.

does anyone know if there's a reservoir for the hicas?

Yes there is.

I recall reading something a while ago that this problem appears if you have re-connected the battery while the wheels were not in the straight ahead position. Just my vague recollection.

is it the one in the boot? where the jack sits but on the other side? does anyone know how to make hicas centred?

umm straight? noob when it comes to that stuff.

the tyres are pretty new only a few months old

something is leaking at the back though, i saw this today, looks like the diff is leaking could this be the cause?

hi

one of the air bleed nipples for the attesa is above there, if you have lost all your attesa fluid you will have a rwd car so in the wet she wont handle so good. the attesa pump is up there above the diff too

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
