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).

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
