HICAS tilts the rear wheels a couple of degree's when travelling at speeds above 80km/h for better handling (this can be debatable)

Dont get it confused with other 4wheel steers (such as on preludes) which are used as parking aids.

hey thanks heaps =]

when looking at buying a r32, generally would you consider 4wheel steer as a good thing or a bad thingg?

i think you'll find that they all have it......not sure if the gts have it though. some people think it's good and some people don't like it so get a loack bar.

Don't worry about it, wait until you drive the car for a month or two and decide if you like it. I removed mine, was reasonably painless and took an hour or two to do (R33).

Before you remove or modify it, make sure you get the suspension looked over carefully and any worn parts (bushes, tie rod ends) etc replaced if necessary. Many have confused worn components with HICAS "doing it's thing".

HICAS is easy to remove, a little more fiddly in a 32 as you have to cut power steering lines. I put a lockbar in a few weeks ago then when we had the engine out last week, I removed all the crap in the engine bay and to the back of the car. Looped the pump back into the resevoir and all is sweet. Car is much more predictable and a pleasure to drive :whistling:

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By kindaruined · Posted

      hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
