Steering Issue In The Rear

[turbo_brian]

Ok, I have a strange one, not sure if anyone will know the answer for, but before I go tearing stuff out, and hacking in the car, I thought I would see what others think on here...

I have a 93 model R32 GTR Skyline, great car, is serving me very well.

A while ago, had a little accident in her, no biggy, but basically put the entire left hand side into a wall, went steerings arms, control arms, panels, etc.

Got it back 2 weeks ago from the repairer, and she has been driving nice, had a wheel alignment and it's as straight as a dye. Anyway, until the weekend, I used it to putter around the city.

The issue: I have found that when I am on the highway, pushing through a nice open wide sweeping corner right, the rear left feels like it drops in height and the entire back of the car seems to shift about half - 1 foot sideways as you sweep through the corner. Quite dis-concerning as it happens, it feels like the back of the car is sliding (This is for sweeping right hand corners, weight transfer to the rear left).

If I pull the same maneuver in a sweeping left hand corner, there is no issues at all, it holds hard and fast, and power's through terrific.

Now, if I apply power as I am going through the sweeping right hand corner, the car seems to stay fairly stable feeling, but if I go to change gears, it gets all out of shape and wobbly again.

Not sure if it's something to do with damaged HICAS, or if something is not bolted in right, but I dont have this issue at low speeds, only seems to occur above 50km/h.

Anyone got any ideas before I go pulling the rear of the car apart tonight?

Thanks,

Brian.

i would say it is a problem with the HICAS. as it only comes into play at speed as far as i know.. why dont u just buy a canceller bar 2 get back some rear end stability into the car.

that. or what i think it could be is that the rear toe is out. if it never happened before that means that the hicas was working prior to it happening. hence why he hadn't felt a change until after the accident. i know from personal experience.

I have had everything aligned, rear toe and front toe have been adjusted, and I am planning on getting rid of the HICAS as well, but wasn't sure if there was anything else it could be....

There is a list of minor issues I am pestering the repairer about in regards to his work, and this is one of them, as the never had issues prior to repair, but does after the repair. Due to the issue being whent he car's weight load is pushed to the left side (sweeping right hand turns), I believe it's something damaged from the accident.

I will investigate further and see what I can find.

Thanks guys,

B.

k then. if it's not the hicas. try looking at your sub-frame bushes. check for leakage & tears in the rubber. u might have to get under there and get the bolt out to get a good look at the bushes though. apart form that u say teht they just did all alignment and id ay they would have thought of the swaybar being loose so that should be all good.

I'd be going after either HICAS, or bushes, or find out which parts HAVEN"T been replaced...
