Hi guys,

I am new to my R33 GTS-T as well. I see the hicas indicator briefly light up when I start the car, is that a warning or is it normal. Also, at around 100-130 Km/h I feel the steering gets really light, feels a bit wierd really, is this hicas in action? because at low speeds, I do feel the better steering.

Plus, this is a dumb question, but how do I verify that my ABS is active and working?

Thanks

In answer to your ABS question - next time it rains, speed up to about 60km/h, then slam your brakes on as hard as you can!! If you feel the brake pedal shudder and your wheels dont 'lock up' (slide along the road) - ABS is working. If you hit the brakes and the front wheels lock up and you slide off a cliff and are smashed to tiny pieces on the jagged rocks below - you should get your ABS fixed :P

Basically your wheels shouldnt skid at all when braking (if ABS is working). You can try this is the dry as well, but you will need more speed. Just make sure your wheels are straight when you hit the brakes though!!

when your driving slow and then accelerate suddenly the car will usually just skid in a straight line if you react quick enough, as the car doesn't have the momentum to keep going sideways. lol scares the f(*k out of the people you pass tho

    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.   
    • Hi. Yeah i think that DIS-008 should be ok too but i rather asked. The R8 coils are "sadly" no go for me cuz every solution is for forward plenum. The coils are too tall and one of the(4/5 DK) would not fit under stock J-pipe. And being this NA RB20 i dont even know where to get some forward plenum.(and of course i would need other stuff like custom AFM/ECU etc) and that is kinda non sense for NA without boost. I just looking for solutions for my case 🙂  I try look into those Yaris/Corolla ones.  
    • Damn it, no, I topped up before I got to yours I really should look at Costco locations more when I'm out and about burning through fuel
    • Did you hit the one 5 minutes down the road from my place before heading back south? 😛
