elektrikgt Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi guys, I have been looking at a few r33 gts-t and I came across one that looks quite good. The one issue I had with it was when reading about it they stated it had "4 wheel steering" which from a quick google search explained it to be HICAS. My question is did all r33's come out with this? I seem to remember that the cars that had this feature were more costly to repair and modify? Or am I just wrong? The model of the car is a 1993 Nissan Skyline HR33 2D Coupe. Any help is appreciated, thanks (Also wasn't sure if this should be general discussion or drive train) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/393395-4-wheel-steering-hicas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrikgt Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 haha seems to be what everyone is saying on here, I was able to ask a mate before and he said to get rid of it as well. I will have to do a search on how to remove it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/393395-4-wheel-steering-hicas/#findComment-6258134 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKITTLES Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) It's to improve handling around a track apparently. Grab a lock bar, weld your diff, win at life. Just tripple check it exists before you buy the bar.. I've had two N/A 33GTS's, same year model except one had a sunroof, no hicas or ABS and the other had no sunroof, hicas, ABS and more power. Just pointing out that there are some differences...

blind_elk Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It's to improve handling around a track apparently. Last place you want it. The Gibson Nissan Works GTRs had the HICAS removed because they found that if you suddenly backed off in a corner the HICAS became confused and could turn the car around.Don't understand what everyone has against HICAS - I've never had a problem with it. Maybe you guys just aren't up to driving a car with active steering.

Was good to see in person what exactly it is. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/393395-4-wheel-steering-hicas/#findComment-6261872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
