genuine nissan HICAS tie rods (different to front tie rods!) are about 250$ for both. from nissan. not cheap. but if you go ling long...well...yeah

well if you got a GT-R I wouldn't use ling long, but I own a R33 GTS-t (ling long is acceptable) haha :)

^ maybe he likes HICAS :)

Theoretically it makes sense to have HICAS, and the system was revised in Series III GT-Rs like yours Paul, prior to that HICAS was pretty shit.

I've tossed mine in the bin too, but I own a fridge.

A lock bar doesn't really solve the problem that you probably have anyway. The outer tie rod ends are the spot that wears the most, and a HICAS delete bar leaves those in place. You'd still need to replace them.

Question.....does 5500 rpm relate to a particular road speed at all? HICAS is known to exhibit it's problems at particular speeds because the HICAS computer reaches "panic mode" at those points when given sensors are not working. Steering angle sensor is one that people often accidentally lose when they put a different steering wheel on the car and the hub doesn't have the drive pin for the steering sensor. On my car (last century) it would crank the steering wheel over to the (left? right?) by about 45° when over 80km/h just because no steering sensor. HICAS panic. No steering sensor also meant I couldn't put it into diagnostic mode which made it very hard to work out what was going wrong. The HICAS computer also looks at VSS, and for all I know in the later GTRs it might even be looking at the G sensors. There's lots of things that can make it act flaky.

Try to put it into diagnostics mode (no, I don't know how to do it on your car, only on an R32). Failing that, get a mechanic with a decent scan tool to hook up to the Consult port and see if there are any codes in the HICAS computer. You may have to take it for a drive and trigger the fault to see anything.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
