It does feel a lot different, but near the limits it is much more predictable. I would definitely leave it as it is

Here's how I locked it and have had no problems with it since, and this includes a lot of track work.

I assume you fit a lock bar? If so I believe the only thing left to do is get a wheel alignment and all should be good

I'm really looking into getting a hicas lock bar aswell, i'm just having trouble finding decent information about how differnt it is to the hicas unit in your car and how exactly it will effect your car. Can anyone clarify this cos i'm getting more and more confused reading everyone's posts about Hicas.

Did you put a lock bar on it? Or just leave it all hanging there? I haven't looked into this yet as I don't mind my HICAS but if you remove the relevant parts don't the wheels need to be locked in place?

Who is using your computer Abo Bob? Was that a joke?

I've had mine replaced, it one of the very good value mods I've done. Makes the car much better to drive. Check the installation and the wheel allignment specs.

Really? How did it effect your car? Did it just change the way the car handled in general...?

When u are at the track is when u notice its better , my car use to feel nervous at speed now it feels solid.

If u started to slide the car into the corner u would feel a little movement in the ass than instead of heading for the apex the car would understeer and start head for the outside of the corner u would have to grab it then u could get bad oversteer , now i can cut a nice smooth arc through the corner with just a nice little bit of oversteer.

He has some stuff going on personally so he's not making them at the moment.. If you're after a 32 bar maybe ask him in case he's got some left.

He's actually manufacturing them out of his own time, and he said that he wont be making more until a bit later in the year!

One other product that people have mentioned is the Tomei kit: http://www.nengun.com/tomei/hicas-lock

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
