"...super fun happy sliders moments. They teach wet weather breaking, swerving and a few steering techniques to get you out of trouble. You have to do the higher levels in the AHG skidpan car for them to show you how to correct over/under steer.

Now that sounds like fun, :) but any time you can have a safe controlled environment to try out you moves must be a good thing

...Even Mr kleets had an off at the skid pan in his GTR :rant:... No damage and no curbs (besides the damage to Mr kleets ego :))

Yes, but it was all good fun..infront of dozen ppl from the club :laugh::rant: Vengence shall be mine when W.A. Suspension set up my circuit spec SK suspension package, or maybe i'll just run off into the scenery at a higher mph.

More info on these non-instructed skidpan days.. :)

Yes plz

As for the HICAS issue, find a diagram with the search button then crawl under the back end and look for the bar, 33's are easier to disable than my 32 and you can get the bar cheap cheap from a forum member

on the RAC report it sais "the rear steering system is inoperative"

haha id suggest you ring the RAC and ask for the mechanic to ring oyu, but it wont happen :S theyre useless

i tried that but i rang 3 times and he still never called.

saw this today trent was next to us nice ride nice paint i want those wheels on my car gtr stock rims are awesome

haha yea man ur plates stood out! Ur car looks bombd !!!

I didnt think you would realise it was me haha

but yea nice ride dude u kno how to exterior :verymad:

why cant I come to you if something happens? Coz im young?

lol im really having second thoughts about joining this club....

Also if you havnt read earlier, i saved up 15 grand myself, and my mum said she would match it. She wants to see me save up for something I would love to own. So i did, took a LONNG time.

Dont wish me luck, u dont mean it man. Just save it :)

well said dude!just drag every commonwhore driver thats whats a go and see them eat ultimate 98.i drive a skyline gtst auto,i cant drive manual cars because of a very dodgy left knee,but you get that :) my ride still goes alright with the basic mods,does 13'sec 1/4 for now,upgrading turbo next month with a highflow from sliding performane,hopefully run a mid to high 12 with good tune,good luck with the car dude :kiss:

The HICAS operates at speed and the rears are only steered through a very small angle of about 1 degree, out of phase to aid turn in.

It's not something the RAC guy is going to 'see' like he would on a Mazda where the 4WS works under 35kmh and has upto 5 degrees of angle change.

Spot on rev210, on top of the fact that I wouldn't trust what an rac inspection says about an import in the first place :)

Yes, they will also do a compression test and a driver beat down.

:) , Samuel L Jackson style?. Beat down or reality check..its all in the language.

Its pretty simple, lock bar or no lock bar, hicas light or no light, slighly odd turn in to low-mid speed corners or not.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
