Does the GTS-4 have Super HICAS?

[chicane]

Hi all,

Just wondering if the R33 GTS-4 has the Super Hicas system like the GTR?

Mentioned @ http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/modules.p...=showpage&pid=2

Cheers

Not sure. I don't think it was standard, but it could well have been an option. Perhaps the easiest way to check is:

Look for the dash light when you turn on the ignition.

Or

Have a quick look under the back of the car for the HICAS unit and control arms...

as I said before you cHiCaNe; you annoying one.

I've said I never seen R33 GTS-4 with HICAS.

do us favor and take photo of your car rear diff.

then we will tell you if you have Hicas or not.

do you even have light on dash?

R32 GTS-4 yes they have them but no Super hicas, unless its after market. but who in the hell want to install HICAS after market?

and you telling ME I give skyline driver bad name... lol :Bang:

me two yen

cheers

Hmmm.. maybe it doesn't.. !

here's a pic anyway fellas!

What wouuld the box under the parcel shelf be then? Where is the ATTESSA/4WD controller located?

cheers

[Pva_Glue]

some people just dont get that there are other people who knows more than him, but instead of listening to information given but instead tell the person they are full of shit or gives bad name...

lol my advice to you chicane... next time listen!!! and think!!!

under the parcel shelf could be one of these things

1.Most likely to be factory amp for speakers

2. rear window wiper controller

3.for 4WD ATTESSA ECU - dont get confused with HICAS ECU.

ps.only bcuz you have Fusespot for 4WD/HICAS in FuseBox etc...etc... doesnt not make you have GTR

[chicane]

Thanks for your help people! and PVA! :wassup: .. cept for the :cuss: !!

Not that with the absence of HICAS one is missing anything

sorry to break the cheerful banter in here, but i notice dave's R34 has electric HICAS - is this how it is on all '34s? or is it on '33s as well? because my '32 has hydraulic, and it runs off the Power steering pump. I know, coz when the light comes one, i add oil to the PS resevoire and it goes out ! it's the simple things in life, sometimes...

[Pva_Glue]

as far as I know, DAVE's R34 ain't 4WD (R34 GT-X)...

Its R34 GT-V so he polly have Hicas...

and Not all R33 have HICAS I've seen only in R33 GTS and Not in R33 GTS-4 as posted 1st thread

[CS_180]

i know my 180sx has STUPERHICAS!!!!!!!!!

ahahhaha

[DJ984]

i've neva seen my HICAS light some on... (R32 GTS-t).... would it come on at all during driving or only if there's a prob (eg low fluid)?....

[pstanbis]

uh, i was actually asking about the hydraulic/Electric thing - i had read the previous thread (i know ho annoying it is when people don't) and am aware that not all 33's have hicas, i was just wondering when they changed to the electric as opposed to hydro.

and my hicas light comes on when i turn on the key - then *hopefully*, all being well, goes out when the engine starts. but i agree with PVA - the drag-links on the rear hubs will be the biggest giveaway!

[Demon Dave]

I didn't have hicas on my old R33, so I can' t really compared the system on a 33 to that of my R34. If anyone has a pic of the 33 system, then we'd be able to compare the two!

re the hicas light - same for me: comes on when I turn the key, goes off when the engines started...

[Evo_Lee]

There was no HICAS on the R33 GTS-4, one can simply see this if you understand the model lettering.

In R32 models HICAS was included in the 4WD system labelled (N), thus you see BNR32 and ENR32 for GT-R and GTS-4. For other models HICAS was labelled © as seen in ECR32 or HCR32. In the R33 models the HICAS was omited from the GTS-4, thus it was ENR33 and the GT-R was BCNR33. In the R34 models the HICAS label was completely abolished.

From what I understand for Super HICAS there is no lettering, even in the Silvia and 180SX lineup.

Hi Evo_Lee,

Thanks for the informative reply.. makes sense I take it the (B) indicates turbo?

Can someone take a photo of the HICAS system near the diff on an R33?

cheers

:burnout: :burnout:

[VIPERGTSR01]

yes the R33 does have electronic HICAS, that looks similar to Demon Dave R34's HICAS

i would take a pic but i dont have a digi cam

[crooser]

here is a pic of the hicas on my 33 gts

[Evo_Lee]

Chicane: no the (B) is quite obvious really, the engine fitted. B: RB26, E: RB25 and H: RB20 or more specifically RB20DE. As there is YHR32, YH being RB20E for GTE models; and for the complete picture the FR32, F being CA18i for the GXi models.

R33 and R34 is no different, oh except the HR33 was actually RB20E but they couldn't be bothered nor do I think anyone cares really.

[The Jester Of Oz]

Evo Lee: Actually the R32 GTS-4 has a model number HNR32 running the RB20DET

[Evo_Lee]

Correct, good pick up...typo in my earlier post.
