Strange Hissing Sound.

Hello all.

The other day I pulled into my driveway and hopped out of the car (Series 1 RS260) to go inside. As it has a turbo timer it was still running and as I walked around it to go inside I could hear a hissing sound coming from the rear. Sounded like my tyre going flat. But it wasnt.

Im assuming it's something to do with the HICAS. Is that normal or could it be leaking?

I've also noticed it can pull to one side sometimes while driving straight. Its not a consistent pull sometimes it does it sometimes not.

I've only just bought the car and it's been like it the whole time.

I've read in posts before alot of people do without the HICAS. Should I just do that too? If so what's involved?

Any help at all would be great.

Zane.

Well I have just sold the rear subframe from my w/o S1 Stagea to a guy with a 180SX or suchlike with hicas so that he can be free of the hicas. The less drastic method is (and I have no personal experience of this) to remove such hicas elements as you can and get a lockbar to secure the rear wheels. Have a search on the general skyline section for removing hicas.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
