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. :D

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 :P but I'm pretty happy to have gone to the "dark Side" :D

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.

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 :D

Welcome to the dark side..

Congrats on the r32 purchase btw :D

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
