Hicas Vs Drifting

[Kujotk]

wondering if hicas in a series 2 r33 gtst will affect drifting?????? anyone that knows????

[75coupe]

um, yeah....

[Toobad]

Hicas isnt a bad thing

But

Take it out, and Feel the difference immediatley. More Controlled Doesnt Feel like your fighting with the rear end to stay out

Personally i hated hicas, im so much happier with it gone and i harly ever drift. So much more predictable round corners. And yes it is a must if you drift the car! The hicas will try to make you go straight the whole time instead of sideways

[joel234]

my mates gtst had hicas before he got the lock bar but before that it ended up sending him down a bank into alot of trees therefore hicas+drifting=

[toddlls]

It can be done with hicas, gets a bit hairy when goin hard and particularly if its a bit wet.

Lots of corrections and in my opinion not worth keeping if your seriously considering the drift.

Mine is a R32 but I know I hated the stuff. I mean its a sports car of sorts and why the hell does it need a driving aid.

Got rid of it and actually think it has improved the handling. More predictable and I think quicker due to the fact as now I know exactly when slip will happen rather than there she goes-oh sh*t there she goes again.

i killed mine before it killed me

i still got mine and try to slide. when i 1st started i thought hicas was shit and it was making me oversteer etc.... then i realised that finding a smooth rd is one of the more important things. plus if its a r32, hicas is minimal, i remember reading somewhere that hicas on r32's only moves out like 1.5 degrees, which aint much, and unless your doing 120k entries you shouldnt worry about it to much...

in saying that, i still plan on removing it in the near future.

yes hicas also sent me into one of those orange bus stop pole things that was ridiculously close to the kerb, like 15 cm's away

[Habler]

ahahaha leave it in because then if you crash at least you can blame the hicas instead of just crap driving or shit suspension set-up

+1111111 lol to to to true.

[PM-R33]

Hahahahaha

But yeah if you have the time and a bit of spare coin get rid of it, im planning on doing mine soon.

[Tave-33]

Yea I hate it to, it has sent me in the wrong direction a few times wasnt fun

But it will all b gone soon, cant wait to feel like I hav control of my slides

HICAS never made me spin out but it certainly made the car feel rather dodgy and when doing big 2nd gear burnouts it was hard to change direction as the rear wheels started pointing in the same direction as the front wheels so all it wanted to do was crab down the road.

HICAS was removed by the time I got around to some skidpan drifting so can't comment on before and after.

[linedup33]

if u remove hicas by putting the lock bar...will the hicas light appear on the dash or not?

[bubba]

Some say yes, some say no.

My light is on and I can't be assed pulling the cluster out and removing the globe

So thats why it does that when doing burnouts!! Everything makes sense now lol.

i took HICAS out on my old car

highly recommend it makes the car feel a lot better round corners

planning on doing on my new car as well

HICAS is always used as scape goat for crap driving but it does make the car feel squirelly....certainly wont make you lose it but at the end of the day predictability is what your after so best bet is to bin it.
