Hicas is like a drunk stranger in the boot of you car with a steering wheel connected to the back wheels. You are never sure when they are going to turn, and when they do it feels like they have rolled into the wheel well.

I've got on mine which is a RS it has no body kit ( I would've picked the body kit though...).

Question: Is that a switch to turn it off/on manually? Sometimes the light goes on and it takes a while to go off again...

Cheers

Street? wouldnt care, hardly ever feel it as your not always going to be hammering corners, unless your craig lol.

track? definitely a lock bar. car becomes more predictable - and less drunk steering like the earlier post, in saying that your thrashing it around corners.

i will eventually get around to doing it, and get scott to build a lock bar..

but i think i need coilovers and sway bars and bla bla..until i do a lock bar.

Predictable or not, I cant stand the system. It makes the whole rear end of the car loose as the motor actually moves the lower part of the spring in and out, (not just the wheel) as you corner. It was only fitted to counteract the LSD's tendency to over-steer.

I don't know about you Canadians over the border but I prefer to keep the rear end of my car in my lane. Down here they crush cars for less...

That said, when I started driving I used to love hanging the back out, CIG locker for the win. :)

Fortunately, I have now been forced to grow up. Your turn Craig. hehe.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
