Hey guys..

Lately in particular in my 33 I've noticed how badly the hicas effects control of the car when drifting..

When off the brakes in second gear crossed up, every LITTLE movement made from the steering wheel completely

shifts the rear end in and out! and i hate it! Its just way to responsive & rapid and makes it hard to judge and know what

to expect.

I went for a session in my mates 180sx which has the lock bar, so no HICAS and i felt the car was so much smoother

& un-surprising!

How many of u guys have lock bars in ur 33's and how much of a difference did u feel???? Give me the good & the bad.

umm. ok, yeah it doesn't *help* but it's not there for no reason...

..for instance... DID YOU KNOW....

...that HICAS is actually there to STOP the car from drifting? you may find yourself asking "why stop a car from drifting?

and the answer is...

... because the cars were not designed with drifting in mind! YEAH! who'd have thought, cars weren't designed to be driven sliding sideways...

in actual fact, card are designed to drive in a straight line! and turn using it's steering!

but yes, jokes aside... if you intend to drift you gotta lose the hicas... and try buying a car that's not a 33 lol

Joe - thanks for the link >_<

no worries mate.

Has anyone had their lockbar fail on them?

I've seen a few cheapo ones twist on drift cars.

yeah, a mate of mine bought one off here a while ago, the welds cracked (wont mention who he bought it from).

drifting is not the fastest way around a track.... its fun... but meh...

whats that got to do with the price of oil in iraq?

Personally i havent slide without my Hicas yet....but that will soon change as of hicas bar going in very soon.

should be interesting to see the difference.

though with hicas it tends to be a bitch to to keep in a slide.

You know why? I'll tell you why...

...it's because your car was not made to slide sideways.

If car manufacturers wanted your car to drive like a crab with downe syndrome then they would have attached trolley wheels or made it a hovercraft.

There is a reason that skylines have the battery located in the boot, it's to cause balance and weight distribution to create a nice handling car.

There is a reason that HICAS is there. it's to STOP your car from going sideways, it's called a safety feature

Am I the only person who thinks drifting is kinda gay and destructive to cars? it's slower than driving straight, and it costs a lot more.

what's the next craze to take off to destroy your automotive investment? driving head first into a brick wall?

fast and furious brick wall

...I can see it now... "whoa dude did you just see that pro jap driver slam into that brick wall?"

" yeah man, he's really talented, he's really progressing the nature of this art."

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
