hey mate if you got all this gear to go in your rs4s i hope the coilovers etc didnt come out of an rs4v cos they wont fit.

coilovers is the best thing i did to mine for better 'drivability' aka doesnt feel like your cornering in the titanic

rear is an active LSD, my rear wheels skip like a locked diff when turning close to full-lock

i actually like hicas and dont understand why people hate it so much

I am using coilovers from an auto stagea, but i'm aware that i need to swap the rear eyelet for a fork. I've got a welder so that is easy enough

Can anyone tell me what hicas lock I need to get? Is it the same as R33?

33gtr, its the auto guys who stuggle to lock their hicas (if its optioned) because their rear cradle is wider

You sure its a GTR? I cant find ANY R33 GTR hicas lock kits (which suggests they dont have hicas), but there are plenty of R33 gtst ones.

weld from eyelet to fork? i wouldnt recomend it. if they are tein just contact them and buy the lower mounts

cant find them? they are everywhere mate. type HICAS LOCK BAR / LOCKER / LOCK OUT / DELETER into ebay or just jap

my fronts also dont turn when jacked up but my rears do(rears turn in opposite directions and fronts dont move at all). when i dump clutch and light up the rears, i pull 2 strips and the rear does lock up. but i think the front doesnt turn because it has to do with the transfer case locking up

as i stated earlier, my RS4S has an ACTIVE LSD, if you guy do some research on this you'll know how it works and why the wheels spin in opposite directions with the wheels off the ground.

perhaps the fronts wont turn due to the transfer case and atessa?

ive guessed it has an ALSD, but no ALSD light on the dash like the GTRs or other equipped cars...... i always though they had a mechanical LSD, then thought maybe viscous, but now ALSD. so many people on all diff forums claim so many diff things.

ive looked under it, but it didnt look like the ALSD's that i see on other skylines. but as long as it locks up when i have wheelspin is fiiine with me

I think ALSD was an option on RWD only but could be wrong, if you dont have the lines going to your diff then it will be viscous. All stagea lsd's that I have seen were viscous only 260rs had mechanical lsd. The rs4s diff is a gtst 5 bolt center in a stagea housing, 260rs is an r32/33 (non V spec) mec diff in a stagea housing. Stagea housing is unique due to the mounting of the Altessa pump.

Ok so i just took delivery of it. Drives great except that it crunches into 4th gear, so i'll need to get that looked at

Regarding suspension, I've already got the following ready to install

Tein coilovers

Cusco Castor Rods

Whiteline swaybars

Adjustable front upper arms

Cusco Adjustable rear upper arms.

Alloy subframe lock kit

Is it worth getting a hicas lock kit? I'm not a big fan of letting the electronics decide what direction I should be going so i'm tempted to do that

This thing is a bit slow compared to our other stageas. I'm sure the 3076 i'll be installing on it shortly should resolve that issue though :)

Are Dayz S2 RS4S in black a common thing? I dont recall having seen one before

Also WHY NO CUPHOLDERS!??!! There must be a reason they decided to install a blanking plate on the RS4S' rather than the cup holders under the stereo.

I would personally steer clear of tein's, they are designed for japanese roads which are alot smoother than ours, they will be really stiff and will anoy you after a while. Ive got koni adjustables in my RS4 S and they are awesome.

Hicas lock bars are a good idea there are a few going round or you can actually lock the standard hicas up yourself.

There is a few DAYZ getting around, mine is a DAYZ.

Heres a really good one and im pretty sure when i was looking at doing mine these fit the stagea

I live in an area with shit roads and run Tein's and they are fine. So you have RS4 rear shocks that you want to use on an RS4S? if so just change the rear hubs to RS4 you will need to press out the hicas ball joints and swap them to the RS4 hubs, not an easy job. New ball joints are a rip off $130ish ea. There are other rack ends available that delete the ball joint and use a bush, I would convert to these. Your other iption would be to buy a pair of rear R33 gtr coilovers and swap the springs & tops etc, either way will cost $$$

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
