What exactly do these bars do?

Hi there,

They replace the rear steering rack, present in hicas model cars..

Locking the rear wheels like a non-hicas car..effectively eliminating the rear wheel steering..

Increasing handling at higher speeds :(

I was under the belief that Hicas was there to help with parking?

It was only supposed to activate at speeds around 20km/hr etc. for when you are in carparks..

But they have been known to leave the rear end feeling loose during higher speeds.

Therefore, by replacing the rear steering pump with a lockbar, you stiffen the rear end by locking the wheels in place and this increases the handling at higher speeds.

But that is what I believe... like everything, opinions vary :(

Umm my understanding is that Nissans' HICAS does not operate at low speeds, only at speeds over about 80kmh and with "X" amount of steering angle.. it is essentially an anti-noob device designed to induce understeer if you come too hot into a corner. Also as it only moves +/- 1deg it's not going to help with parking.

P.S. I'll be wanting one of these in a few weeks :(

ahhh..

i thought this as well. Activating at above 80km/h

But i thought it was to help with the handling...not to induce understeer -.-;;;;

Understeer is a much less dangerous form of loss of traction than oversteer for the inexperienced driver, so therefore it does help for more experienced drivers.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
