I was just about to buy a set of Tanabe Sustec Pro NF Coilovers. The supplier came back to me asking if I have Hicas or not, apparently if you have Hicas the coilovers can rub on some of the machs.

I am still to establish wether or not I have Hicas or not, however I am under the impression that if the car has Hicas there is a dash light which will come on when you turn the ignition. There is no Hicas light on my dash, so unless the bulb has blown I am assuming I don't have it.

I have had both gtst's and gtr's with Hicas, and there is always a dash light on ignition.

Any-one had any experience with any of the above

Hi Nick

If your car has HICAS you will have a light that comes on with ign.

You can see the HICAS control on the back of your rear sub frame. When looking under from the back it looks kind of like a wiper motor blocking the view of the diff. Mabye you could google and get a picture.

Completely off topic, unless you have something rare you mispelt Stagea in your profile :ninja:

Only a few of the models had HICAS, it's not a common features except for the

If you want to make double sure you could probably get someone to FAST the VIN Number and confirm if HICAS was factory fitted.

(extracted from Wikipedia)

  • 250tRS FOUR V HICAS: A 250tRS FOUR V with the addition of the Nissan HICAS four wheel steering system
  • AR-X FOUR: A 250t FOUR (ie 2,5L turbo/4wd) model with increased ride height and SUV-like body ornaments. 206 kW (276 hp)
  • The were 4 'aero selection' models added in 2002 to the 250RS/250tRS FOUR/250tRS FOUR V/250tRS FOUR V HICAS ranges, this added a bodykit to the standard car

Thanks, there is no light and nothing blocking the diff. Suspension and hubs all look ok. Don't think I have Hicas.

Its like a disease

Seems as though the 250t with Hicas also had a bodykit, I have no body kit therefore I have no Hicas

Maybe this will help........

Sorry the quality is pretty crap but it will give you the idea.

If you follow the exhaust towards the middle of the picture, you will see the anti vibration thingy (round piece of metal) and then just above the that is the black cylinder with a Nissan sticker. This is the electric motor of the HICAS. It connects on the right to the gearing that changes the angel of the rear wheels with the turn up to 1.5 degrees.

Cheers

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
