Educate Me On C34 Rs4S

[Bronx]

nobody likes hicas! i find it pretty bad in my stagea, if im cornering just a bit it will turn into full lock and try to make me kiss the wall. in my mates r32gtr however, its barely noticeable.

[too_much_boost]

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

[lilcrash]

I like my hicas too. But I only do mountain runs, no track work.

[Big Fella]

Auto c34's don't have hicas

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.

[pistol-pete]

33 gtrs have hicas and there are plenty of kits for them too

[dirtyRS4]

RS4S and GTR have hicas, use a hicas deletion/removal kit it replaces rack, control arms and worn hicas ball joints in one.

RSfour doesnt have hicas.

[RS4-S]

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

Tell that to my front wheels.

So because you think you may have a front lsd you claim all rs4s stagea's came equiped with one! for the record I doubt you have one.

[lilcrash]

Fyi - Pretty sure someone on here posted it, I just assumed because my front wheels won't turn when jacked up.

[Bronx]

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

[pipster11]

one day i'll put mine in rwd mode when its up on stands and see what happens

[RS4-S]

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 $$$
