Hi Guys

This is aimed at the 34 GTR guys that have removed/locked the HICAS system. I have searched for about an hour now on here and on the mystical google but i cant find anything in direct reference to what is involved in locking/removing the HICAS from a BNR34. its all the 33's and 32's. Is anyone able to tell me exactly what parts and the procedure involved in doing this for the 34?

A m8 has a 34 GTT and his HICAS was locked with a lock bar and taking some plugs out, but i have a power steering reservoir in my boot so im assuming that its not going to be as simple as that.

Hey Adam, why are you putting in a lock bar? Is the rack screwed? Track day coming up? HICAS enhances corner turn in & hence improves performance. I LOVE my Super HICAS in my wagon, it is very noticable cornering at speed, compared to more relaxed driving!

I hate the HICAS, every corner i take at speed on the road (normal driving in 90-100km zones with corners) it pushes the car out towards the worng side of the road as its designed for track use and not single lane roads. I also hate the feeling of the car when it kicks in, feels like the rear end is floating. Everyone i know says to lock it ASAP even in the 34 GTT with HICAS and i know y they say it now.

I know what you mean. When I first got my R32 it was terrible, push it hard through the apex & exit of a low speed corner & it would go in completely the opposite direction I though it would! I played around with the wheel alignment after work for afew nights & got it pretty good. It was much more predictable, without losing too much of the entry feel. I find the responsiveness of my Stagea to cornering at speed excellent! I don't feel the floatiness in the wagon, maybe because of the extra weight over Skylines. It would be really good if the HICAS management was adjustable, to allow a more progressive application......

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
