lmao why are u Panzies against drifting???

'Wheezy' do u prefer to see a Skyline with a 3 speed trimatic racing in a straight line or a skyline crossed up on a track bouncing off

rev limiters?? :P

SECONDED! *pats his hicas enabled 33 and awaits a flaming* :P

ditto. I don't have a problem with HICAS on the street, it has been said that 8/10 driving is what HICAS is designed for and frankly if you go any harder than that on public roads you're a moron.

On the track, you might gain predictability by putting in a lock bar. You definitely will if the HICAS is getting old and not responding like it should.

Drifting, you definitely need a lock bar. HICAS is supposed to improve "regular" handling, and if you're in a drift it will fight you.

As for the flame war on drifting, you're all keyboard warriors. Yes, it's not the fastest way around the corner. Yes, it's like being a rally driver only your balls are tiny by comparison. Yes, it is great fun and you don't have to worry about a tree coming through your window.

:D

seriously though each to their own. drag racing does nothing for me but some people love it. doesn't mean I should bash drag racing.

Alternatively the best thing you could do in a jap car could be to use it for what it was designed for, transport.

All cars were designed to transport people some way or another :)

Even aussie cars were designed to. Whether they actually do in real life, as oppossed to just break down is another story. Bogan power =/ winnah

As Chubbs says - different horses...

I think drifting looks like a lot of fun but I have a GTR and for some reason Nissan designed it to go around corners with as little drift as possible. Could be that they thought drifting "the 'ring" wouldn't get them around in the fastest time (at the time) for a production car.

why do you guys thinking drifting is only for morons? its easy to keep control going fast around a corner, but to have the car ad rediculous angles and bringing it back to straight and holding top of 3rd sideways requires skill

They both require skill but they are different 'sports". Drifting is a "spectator sport" akin to figure skating on ice. It clearly requires skill to balance the car going around corners, keep the angle, etc. But in the end its about style not speed. Grip racing is like speed skating. You don't get points for style - just finishing first. You also have to do it with other cars (more than 1) on the track and unless you start in front you have to pass to win. Suggesting it is easy is a bit short sighted.

It means you have a faulty HICAS

Look I have no problem with people drifting, but i DO have a problem with EVERYONE drifting.

cos when EVERYONE drifts, that's when the commodore fans get into it and do it on the street, infact just this weekend i saw 2 commodores wrap themselves around telegraph poles trying to do it.

I also have a problem with drifters, not naming any names, you guys know who you are... you're all just so smug! like what you do is any better than anyone else? In my mind, you're a dumb retard that doesn't appreciate what a beautiful piece of machinery a japanese car is.

I worked really hard for the car that I own. with no loans from anyone, so maybe that haas taught me to treat it with respect for what it is?

a nice car. No panel damages. No scratches. Original paint. Pristine interior. Pristine engine.

So next time you go parading your self satisfied bullcrap. think before you type :blink:

I cry to myself if I see a mint car being flogged, but at the end of the day that's the owner's prerogative. I value my car in extremely good condition and enjoy driving it in such a state and that's all that matters. Each to their own - I don't see why some wanker with attitude should bother me in the slightest :blink:

While I had the HICAS in my car it was unstable a high speed (100km/h on highway), would wiggle around when coming over a crest, when cornering hard it would unpredictably snap into oversteer when I didn't want it to and generally just made the car feel less direct to drive.

maybe ur hicas was playing up?. Mine dont do that at all. although i do agree at high speed corners , especially long ones with bumps, u do notice it become unstable.

when cornering hard, RWD cars do snap out under throttle. hicas holds on the edge longer and u will carry more speed because of it. It's interesting you assume HICAS does this, its more the fact your corning hard in a RWD adding power.

alot of people i think blame hicas, when its their diff that is wearing out and causing some of these issues. the more u drift and do burnouts the more your LSD will not engage properly.

.. Just my theory.

Whatever a driver does in his/her car is up to them, you just hope they are aware of the risks and consequences and how REAL they are. Whether it be to their wallet, their car, their life, other peoples lives, other peoples property and all the inconviences of when things 'go wrong' then let them be. Everyone has an opinion on what they prefer.

yeah, One thing i Think we can all agree on, is that all HICAS. Particularly earlier versions. suck. and cause us all greif whether we're drifters draggers drivers racers or whatever.

I dont agree .. I actually like hicas. Hicas is my friend

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
