It does feel a lot different, but near the limits it is much more predictable. I would definitely leave it as it is

Here's how I locked it and have had no problems with it since, and this includes a lot of track work.

I assume you fit a lock bar? If so I believe the only thing left to do is get a wheel alignment and all should be good

I'm really looking into getting a hicas lock bar aswell, i'm just having trouble finding decent information about how differnt it is to the hicas unit in your car and how exactly it will effect your car. Can anyone clarify this cos i'm getting more and more confused reading everyone's posts about Hicas.

Did you put a lock bar on it? Or just leave it all hanging there? I haven't looked into this yet as I don't mind my HICAS but if you remove the relevant parts don't the wheels need to be locked in place?

Who is using your computer Abo Bob? Was that a joke?

I've had mine replaced, it one of the very good value mods I've done. Makes the car much better to drive. Check the installation and the wheel allignment specs.

Really? How did it effect your car? Did it just change the way the car handled in general...?

When u are at the track is when u notice its better , my car use to feel nervous at speed now it feels solid.

If u started to slide the car into the corner u would feel a little movement in the ass than instead of heading for the apex the car would understeer and start head for the outside of the corner u would have to grab it then u could get bad oversteer , now i can cut a nice smooth arc through the corner with just a nice little bit of oversteer.

He has some stuff going on personally so he's not making them at the moment.. If you're after a 32 bar maybe ask him in case he's got some left.

He's actually manufacturing them out of his own time, and he said that he wont be making more until a bit later in the year!

One other product that people have mentioned is the Tomei kit: http://www.nengun.com/tomei/hicas-lock

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
