Hi guys,

bit late really cbf looking for this topic but i have a problem,

Ive noticed in my gts-4 hard acceleration to 80kmph and above my steering wheel changes angle,( ur thinking is this guy drunk? ) no... my steering wheel moves to the left but the car goes straight .... ?

i was on the freeway heading to plenty road... when BAM more than 100% it was HICAS f**king throwing my ass end into a wiggle and BAM my steering wheel was straight again... ?

ive had this similar problem in a GTS-T b4.. but when that happend the HICAS light turned on as if it was disengaged...

This time i get the wobble that nearly made me smash into another car lol but no disengage of HICAS..?

All i want to know is why the f... does this HICAS system do that? whats the deal with my steering wheel going to the left on acceleration then going straight when hicas wobbles?

am i in need of a lock bar?

Shed some light! I fkn hate it!!!

Cheers guys!

That's exactly what my HICAS used to do - steering wheel rolled over. Then when you hit 110kph, that's when HICAS turns off - steering wheel snaps straight, and it's a scary experience. In this situation, though - my HICAS light wasn't on.

Either way, I ended up talking to Nissan about it and they used their CONSULT to check it out. Turned out the HICAS steering sensor was off compared to where the wheel was. Basically when the steering wheel was straight, HICAS thought it was at an angle.

Basically what I had to do was get the HICAS system reset, and have the steering rack straightened up compared to what the steering angle sensor thought. It's been perfect since. I'm sure Nissan can advise and probably fix it for you. (Bit difficult to get it straight without the steering angle sensor output).

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
