HICAS is the 4 wheel steering system. the system does a quick check when you turn the car on then the light turns off when everything checks out OK

You should only worry about it when the light STAYS on. then there is something wrong.

I believe HICAS turns on at over 40ks an hour - it might be 60 i cant remember so it does not work when parking its only there to make the ride feel better and you get that nice skyline feel when cruising around corners.

Hey mate,

also designed to help the car avoid oversteer..... Can actually get in the way when on the track cause its turning the rear wheels (Only up to about 2degrees i think from memory) trying to keep the car straight while the driver is also making corections, hence drifters usually locking or removing the hicas system to help with balance.....

I have NFI. :(

I don't really feel mine unless its through long sweeping bends at 100km/h.

Driving behind the car I could see what looked like a little 4ws at around 70km/h but that could have been the stuffed subframe bushes that have now been replaced. :rofl:

it does feel very stable at high speeds for a fairly small car with a small wheelbase (in comparison to commies etc) but i dont know if thats to do with HICAS. i refuse to get rid of it untill im getting sideways at over 80ks which will require some track work. then i may lock it up, but for now i do a bit of country driving.

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
