HICAS only kicks in when the car is travelling over 80km/h, rear wheels turn 1 full degree and you can feel the car 'kick' alittle. Thats only if you are turing a large bend around a highway or blasting it through a corner.

If you check the powersteering fluids front and back, check the fuse as I have mentioned in other threads

its that going effect my car lyk handling?wot u reccomend to fix it?

you should be right, i dont think the hicas will activate if its in error mode. being a 33 its all electric so nothing to do with fluids. you could check the fuses, easiest thing to do.

if they are all ok and you still have the stock steering wheel put it back on and see if you still have the problem. if it goes away then i'd look for a boss kit that is hicas compatible, i remember a thred out there where everyone was listing the boss kits they used and that were compatible.

Lockbar. For (as stated earlier) between $30 and $300 you can have a lockbar. Your HICAS light will stay on, but no more weird arse feeling in the back end :)

HICAS operates at speeds heaps lower than 80kph..... Fang it around a roundabout and you will feel it... The angle of (rear)steer depends on what speed you are doing at the time... Ie. If you are dawdling around a carpark, you will NEVER feel HICAS operating.... It will however operate above 30-40kph. At lower speeds the rear wheels turn in to aid steering and at higher speeds they travel in the same direction as the front wheels(depending on how much lock is wound onto the front wheels).

When drifting with HICAS you can really feel the rear wheels trying to straighten you out of the slide. It also gives you a really false sense of where the car is actually pointing...

On my mates skyline when hicas come on the sterring gose all stif. What dose that mean? :banana:

Low fluid if it is pre Super HICAS

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
