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?
Look, I wasn't there, but it sounds to me like you simply went round the corner too quick and lost it.

HICAS only moves +/-0.5 degrees, and as said just leaves you a bit of a "vague" feeling on the edge.

It's not VTEC yo! and doesn't go about randomly and violently kicking in under normal operation.

Sorry to hear about ur car Kellie... cable ties & gaffa tape ftw !!

my hicas is a bit knackered, just like with Cubes under hard acceleration it can apply itself, making me have to counter steer slightly to the left... and it returns under deceleration, pretty sure the rack or the rear pump is fkd. Just gotta find time to rip out all the unwanted pump and lines when i chuck in my lock bar and lose that extra 30kg :P the guides say it takes a few hours.... so im gonna allow days :rolleyes:

So let me see if i got this right, You own a R33 Turbo RB25 RWD car, You were traveling around a corner, and ur car went sideways, and gave it more stick, and u lost it into a gutter, and ur blaming hicas...

I was in a 32 awhile ago, we were driving in a straight line, I was in the back and I felt a sudden side shift, at the same time i asked Wtfwt the driver said the hicas light has come on, it has happened a few very random times before.

I ditched mine as well :)

i had a 33 gtst and another mates one too, that over 80k's the hicas went crazy. Id be correcting myslf on a straight road.

Turned out to be the little plastic disc behind the steering wheel was crooked.

So hicas does stuff up, you cant assume that a girl (kellie) does not know how to drive, and just put it down to that.

I say good on her, being out there cruising learning her car, its the only way to learn is to know your limits.

Some ppl are bagging her and i bet she could drive better than some ppl on here, at least she is out there doing it.

Thats my 2 cents

I've never had an issue with my HICAS so I don't really know what it's like when it goes wild but to say that the rear wheels turning half a degree has caused you to crash is ridiculous.

No offense (well... not much anyway)

Race__24....toolmaker? fitter and turner?

hey i love that design...if it was cnc do you still have the program??? hehe.

Yeah mate, toolie by trade but working in aerospace now. I don't have the program but can write you one if you want.

i got mine off of Sherwin (NV_NO1), hes quick and is a good seller.

ive got a 180, so mine is a bit different, but im sure the symptoms of malfunctioning hicas would be similar.

before i locked my hicas it actually seemed to have a mind of its own. at low speed, as others have said, it was alright, i could still notice it, but could handle it. it wasnt until i started going 100km/h+ that it really got bad.

it was actually dangerous. the back end just felt like it had a mind of its own. slight corners would make it go nuts and all over the place, and have fun trying to turn abit sharper under speed. there was no way of knowing what it would do.

r33s have it easy when it comes to locking it, as others have mentioned it is electrical.

on s13s it is mechanical. took me a couple of hours to get the tie rod ends out, lock bar in, remove all the lines to the front, remove the actual hicas pump, and then finally run a loop from the outlet that goes to the hicas cradle to the inlet that brings it back.

then there was the hunt to find the right wire to cut to get the light to go out on the dash.

worth it though, the before and after difference is really very good. but thats coming from hicas that had a mind of its own. if it was working correctly im sure it would have served its purpose properly.

not sure bout 33's but i gots 32 that had hicas but got taken out n an S13 rear cradle got put in.

bolts straight up n is shyt load lighter,

i would recomend that to ppl if they want hicas gone in there 32 for good

Possibly a weakness with the hicas elec setup.

Mines only recently started playing up but granted I have had the car for ~6years and travelled ~181,000km's (total odo 248,000) so she's done well.

The cars still a million times better than the old VS 5ltr 5speed I bought that was near new back in 1999 with low km's. From day one the interior rattled, had alternator, inlet manifold leaks, gearbox, diff and rear IRS subframe problems. The little ol' R32 has zero rattles, still drives well, still on the same alt, power steer pump etc.

thanks to those that slaged me yeah i was going fast but you all were not on the cruise and i didnt ask for you all to be nasty so thanks :P

love all of you that were helpful and gave me some tips on how to fix/evaluate the problem :P

thanks michael for sticking up for me :D

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
