Hi Guys,

How are we?? Firstly i need to know what is this HICAS stands for and what it actually do??? secondly, Just want to know about HICAS light ....... Since i changed my factory steering wheel to after market steering wheel, this HICAS light just truns ON whenever it likes but doesn't turn off unless i stop my car and start it after 1 or 2 hours.... if i start my car stright away, light comes ON straight away, and when the light is ON , the steering feels bit heavy........ i don't think that its because of aftermarket steering wheel and Boss Kit.......... Majority of skylines got aftermarket steering wheels............. So what you recommend guys???? any help will be highly appreciated.... thanks :worship:

when you change the steering wheel you must use an aftermarket boss kit to make hicas work

hicas is rear wheel steering over 80km/h

its expecting sensors in the steering wheel to work out where you are turning

without those (no boss kit) it panics and throws an error

hmm well is it the correct model or setup properly / aligned it?

given it only broke when you changed the steering wheel, id say it might not be correct or something?

have you got the old steeering wheel you can put back on to confirm it works again OK?

hicas is like a cock flovoured lolipop.... totally useless.

get a lock bar :)

Agree with Hamish. whilst I have no idea what a cock flavoured lolipop tastes like, i do recommend you replace the HICAS with a lock bar, this will remove the problem :cheers:

Lock bars are for people who can't drive a real car. rofl.gif

If a big steel bar was better than Hicas, Nissan would have fitted it from factory.

Real drivers feel the change during the corner and appreciate what it does for the handling. Other drivers whine that the car did something they weren't expecting and have a cry.

Haha are u serious, hicas was put there to prevent oversteer and make the car more 'tame', ppl remove it causes its a crap idea, something for ppl who cant drive 'real' cars. Who wants there rear end moving around when they want predictable handling.

Remove it and your problem is solved, best cheap mod you can do.

lol, so every car in the world that doesn't have HICAS is not a real car? If HICAS was better than a big steel bar, Nissan wouldn't have ditched it themselves :)

It's good at what it's supposed to do...but many systems end up faulty, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to drive a car the way you expect it to. For the extra 10kg of dead weight, you're better off with a tube of lightweight steel and handling just like every other RWD car ever made.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
