If you think of a Skyline as what its supposed to be... ie a sporty passenger car, then HICAS is awesome. If you take a corner too fast it kicks in and helps you keep the car in control and back on line.

If you're a fully sick drifter or die hard trackday warrior, then HICAS is like going on a date with a hot chick and having your mom run upto your car to give you a scarf so you don't catch a cold... ie... nice thought, but totally useless. You want to control your car one way, and HICAS wants to help so it makes your car go the other way.

i disagree with you on this point, i understand that it might make the turn in feel sharper on medium speed corners, but high speed cornering say 100-140km/h it makes the car feel unstable, this thought is shared by a few passengers in my car and even someone driving behind it who has seen how the hicas moves the rear of the car on turn in. not safe at all!

100km/hr cornering with passangers?? >< dun want to be responsible for other ppls death....

huh? isn't that what funkymonkey is saying? it's good for normal road driving for safety purpose but not for fast cornering??

mate no body was going to die at any point in time when trying this. by corner i mean sweepers that u will find on many open roads, and also from my experience on the skidpan. If you go driving on a decent open road (usually 100 zones) u will see how annoying it is.

so the rear wheels turn the same way as the fronts at high speed?

:(

when i take high speed corners it feels like the rear wheels turn slightly to the left while im cornering right, making the swing out slightly

yes, they first turn left then right as u continue through the corner, the wheels turning left as u turn in is what annoys me badly, as you said u really feel the tail swing out a bit, if anything it makes the car unstable!

This quote was taken from another forum from an owner of an R33 GTR-

the best way ive heard the 4ws explained is that for an average driver, it helps correct those little mistakes thru corners you might make, but for anyone who tkaes precise lines, and likes to be in complete control of the car, it gets sticky very fast, as you and the car are both trying to correct something, and the car tries to correct you, you try to correct the car, and this goes on and on making a small problem a large on quickly....

Not a bad description I guess. He went on to add:

...like big brother was trying to help u but he'd had a few cold ones beforehand  :lol:

Cheers,

That sounds about right, but not a few cold ones, more like a case :lol:

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
