R32 Gts4 Handling Issues

The back end of my r32 gts4 feels like its drunk, basically if I were to go over a bump at 60k's or so the back end feels like its snaking. Another way to describe it, if I were to have my HICAS un-presurised and have the internal shaft sitting loose inside there so it moves around when I drive thats what It feels like. I've recently bought one of these HICAS LOCK SHIM KITS, where I basically put a washer on either end of the solenoid so it stops moving left and right. Thought that would fix the issue but it still feels like crap, I get it at higher speeds aswell, out of fear for my safety I usually slow down..

Any Idea's? I run it in 2WD most times, but I dont think its related to that.. Maybe dodgy bushes?? but I just had my warrant of fitness renewed (sorry if aussie's dont call it that but NZ does) and they passed them fine.

I assume the shim kit has locked the HICAS completely, I was going to install a proper lock bar but after getting stuffed around by the seller I decided against it.

arghh help. Cant goto a track day with it like this.

Did you align it after fiting the kit? The toe changes massively.

Cheers

no I havent yet, I have it booked in for Monday for wheel alignment. Just didnt think alignment was going to make it drive this way. But you raise a valid point, I definitely overlooked it.

could also be the inner or outer rack ends for the rear steer, or the rear ball joints at the hub. Just because you lock hicas doesn't exclude movement/wear in the other parts. But I'll agree with Gary, alignment is most likely the problem

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
