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

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
