Hicas Doesn't Seem To Be Working

I noticed the other day that HICAS system doesn't appear to be working on my R33 GTS-T.

I have had cars with 4WS before, and usually when you turn the steering wheel, you can see the rear wheels turn as well, but mine were not turning at all.

Is the HICAS system speed sensitive, or perhaps it has been removed/disconnected?

Is there any common reason why the 4WS is not working? It doesn't particularly bother me, I don't really like 4WS, but I am just curious.

Try going around a bend doing 80 KM/h...

can you actually feel the HICAS engaging? ive never felt mine before.. the only contact i have with it would be the HICAS light coming on. >_<

I have never "felt" it engage, the only time I have ever had the HICAS light come on is when my turbo timer starts when I shut the car off (HICAS light comes on for a second or so when the timer kicks in).

If it is speed sensitive, then that would explain why the rears didn't move while stationary. Not to worry. Thanks guys.

      Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      High pedals r32

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
