On Saturday night i was on a cruise with a few sau members and hicas kicked in at 80km and caused me to hit the gutter and mount the island funny now but not at the time, broke my front bar nothing that a bit of race tape and trick helping me couldnt fix but i didn't think it could just come on like that anyway very lucky to escape with just that damage

The hicas is fairly invisible at low speeds i.e 80km/h.

I've found it to be a little worrying at higher speeds but its more so like riding a horse; just go with it and its fine.

It shouldn't cause you to hit a gutter etc. If it does I suspect something is up with the hicas.

Mine recently has started moving around a little and is a result of a stuffed hicas rack. Jack the car up and you may find the wheels can be wobbled from side to side excessively.

Mine mostly plays up on acceleration as it tramlines from the rear essentially steering from the rear; makes for very nervous hard throttle lane changes.

Has the subframe/hicas been removed at some point? Maybe there's an airlock in there?

thanks hun im about to put it on a hoist just to make sure that nothing else is damaged and ill get my mate to look at that, i was going around a bend to the left and it just went out from under me so i went to power out of it but that was the bad move i think cause that is what threw me towards the gutter what do you think i should have done?

I'm with Cubes, HICAS just makes the car feel vaig*(spelling) when you're really on the edge, it shouldn't make you turn into the gutter. There may be a problem somewhere.

However, it's not because of an airlock etc. as the hicas on the 33 is all electrical so there are no hydraulic lines :cheers:

Look for a post in the diy section about HICAS diagnostics, there is a self diagnostic program that you can access by doing certain things, might help find the problem

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
