What exactly do these bars do?

Hi there,

They replace the rear steering rack, present in hicas model cars..

Locking the rear wheels like a non-hicas car..effectively eliminating the rear wheel steering..

Increasing handling at higher speeds :(

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt HICAS there to improve handling?

I was under the belief that Hicas was there to help with parking?

It was only supposed to activate at speeds around 20km/hr etc. for when you are in carparks..

But they have been known to leave the rear end feeling loose during higher speeds.

Therefore, by replacing the rear steering pump with a lockbar, you stiffen the rear end by locking the wheels in place and this increases the handling at higher speeds.

But that is what I believe... like everything, opinions vary :(

Umm my understanding is that Nissans' HICAS does not operate at low speeds, only at speeds over about 80kmh and with "X" amount of steering angle.. it is essentially an anti-noob device designed to induce understeer if you come too hot into a corner. Also as it only moves +/- 1deg it's not going to help with parking.

P.S. I'll be wanting one of these in a few weeks :(

All PM's replied to..

The list has been updated :D

ahhh..

i thought this as well. Activating at above 80km/h

But i thought it was to help with the handling...not to induce understeer -.-;;;;

Understeer is a much less dangerous form of loss of traction than oversteer for the inexperienced driver, so therefore it does help for more experienced drivers.

How much for a bar to suit R32 delivered to 6054?

Cheers.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
