[Secoh]

Heya all, dunno how you guys feel about "Hi I'm a newbie" posts so mods feel free to lock/delete the thread if it isn't the done thing.

I just picked up an R32 GTSt on thursday (got it from QLD and drove it straght back to newcastle) and have to say I'm pretty happy with it!

I spent a fair bit of time on PF mostly ripping on skylines in order to stir up Kabab and Southo but I'm pretty happy to have gone to the "dark Side"

Can anyone tell me how to tell ifn the 4WS is operating? There is no visual indication of it at parking speeds, I dont know enough about it on these cars.

HICAS does not work at parking speeds. Only at hwy speeds.

The car should be feeling really loose. Also your hicas light on the dash indicates a fault, not when it is working.

ahh, good stuff then, thanks for that

From what I've heard, the rear of the wheels only turn less than 2 degrees during high speed for stability

and it's 'meant' to tighten up the steering as you go faster, which I don't seem to feel it doing as the steering is pretty tight all the way

Secoh the best way i found to experence it is find a long swepping 80km/h turn try to keep the stearing wheel in a locked postion around the corner and you should feel the back of the car sligthly comming around to reduce any understeer.

Now if you want to get rid of the hicas;

In the boot under the parcel tray on the drivers side there is a computer with 2 sets of cables running into it.

Unplug the smaller set of cables MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE THE OTHER SET PLUGGED IN.

Say good bye to HICAS

Welcome to the dark side..

hehehe Secoh we're pretty relaxed around here, just post all off topic shit in the wasteland and you'll be right.

Congrats on the r32 purchase btw

[Secoh]

Thanks Shell and Kabab I have already discovered that the nice wide "Wanli" tyres are great for "Doriffto" as they are crap for everything else

Kabab, I'll try the Hicas thing just to compare the difference.
