Hicas is like a drunk stranger in the boot of you car with a steering wheel connected to the back wheels. You are never sure when they are going to turn, and when they do it feels like they have rolled into the wheel well.

  • 1 year later...

I've got on mine which is a RS it has no body kit ( I would've picked the body kit though...).

Question: Is that a switch to turn it off/on manually? Sometimes the light goes on and it takes a while to go off again...

Cheers

Street? wouldnt care, hardly ever feel it as your not always going to be hammering corners, unless your craig lol.

track? definitely a lock bar. car becomes more predictable - and less drunk steering like the earlier post, in saying that your thrashing it around corners.

i will eventually get around to doing it, and get scott to build a lock bar..

but i think i need coilovers and sway bars and bla bla..until i do a lock bar.

Predictable or not, I cant stand the system. It makes the whole rear end of the car loose as the motor actually moves the lower part of the spring in and out, (not just the wheel) as you corner. It was only fitted to counteract the LSD's tendency to over-steer.

Love my hicas....I can spin the car at slow speeds without even trying....try that in your single spinner poverty packs! :(

Oh....Ian want to swap your subframe for a hicas one....hicas is shit!....lol!....only kidding.

I don't know about you Canadians over the border but I prefer to keep the rear end of my car in my lane. Down here they crush cars for less...

That said, when I started driving I used to love hanging the back out, CIG locker for the win. :)

Fortunately, I have now been forced to grow up. Your turn Craig. hehe.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
