I havnt really had much trouble with my Hicas, one time cruizin on freeway 130km/ ish went to change lanes n felt like my ass went out lol i craped my pants lol i wasnt expecting that at all. Was going to get a lockbar but it hasnt bothered me since, next time i feel it... itl be gone! lol

Plus after cruizing for a while at constacnt speed my hicas dash light used to pop on, didnt do anythin bot it, and havnt seen it on ever since those couple of times.

funny that as in my old R32 GTS4 i used to own there was this one stretch of rd right near blakehurst where everytime I drove over one particular spot of rd the car would midly step sideways and correct itself very quickly.Very rarely did it anywhere else but always on this one spot...at 80kmh its not very confidence inspiring

thanks to those that slaged me yeah i was going fast but you all were not on the cruise and i didnt ask for you all to be nasty so thanks :glare:

love all of you that were helpful and gave me some tips on how to fix/evaluate the problem :(

thanks michael for sticking up for me :kiss:

i think what people are trying to say is, it might not have been ur HICAS that caused u to crash, so if u lock the HICAS dont expect it to never happen again. the rear coming out on a RWD turbo car when u put ur foot down to "power out of it" isnt unusual, are u 100% sure the rear just didnt lose traction?

not having a go, but u dont want it to happen again just because u assumed it was a HICAS issue and that it wouldnt happen again, and at 80k's ur lucky it wasnt a lot more serious.

thats ok if you cant poke fun at me who can you poke fun at and if its me your making fun of then your all leaving someone else alone lol thats the way i see it :) what can you do but laugh i have learnt a lesson anyway

fear the rear wheel steer, this looks like its turning more than 1 degree like they say it does

the hicas debate will never end, i always hear people saying you can get round corners faster with it, prob can on a couple of dvd's ive seen they reckon its faster for a average weekend racer to have hicas but if your a michael shoemaker i hear its faster if you have the lock bar.

i damn sure aint no shoemaker but mine came with it locked and i reckon i prefer it that way, least i know whats happening with my rear end

cost me big time on a trip to regency though. :)

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
