Hicas On A R33. Should I Remove It, If It's Working?

[KrazyKong]

Recently I had a scare with my car. I smacked the curb and hit both wheels. After seeing a mechanic to check things were ok, and getting a full 4 wheel alignment done, apart from one instance where the HICAS light came on, it's not done so since.

But all this has got me thinking. If my HICAS is all working ok, and I don't drift, what are the benefits in removing it?

I have a R33 S2, so it's not a hydrolic system. If there is a benefit to removing it, can it be disabled and then re-enabled at a later date? Or is it a one way thing only once it's disabled and lock bar is on.

I'd keep it unless your find it intrusive or broken; it makes the car more nimble for street driving.

I hated it with a passion.

Best thing I ever did was remove it.

15kg of crap I'd rather do without.

I found it blunderous, unpredictable and dangerous.

Get rid of it and stick in a mech diff.

Then you've got a real rear wheel drive car.
