Sydneykid...

I dont have Hicas either. My ride hieghts were similar too a little higher at the front as I found the small difference it made in weight transfer to the rear gave the rear a little more grip as my car seemed to lack at the rear a little....probably because of the negative camber which I never got around to fixing.

Cheers,

So what's come of this? It's a month ago and no follow up.

When I imported my car, it had an aftermarket wheel with HICAS boss on it. I've since removed that wheel and replaced it with an original. I've lined up the dots on the wheel and steering column as closely as I can. Since then, my HICAS light comes on after 10km of driving but this doesn't bother me a great deal as it never did anything other than illuminate.

I had a wheel alignment done a couple of days ago, and since then, if I drive with a lot of acceleration when the car has an unlit HICAS light, the steering wheel angle becomes turned to the left about 20 degrees. The car doesn't pull in any direction, but the wheel is not straight. After the 10km of driving, the light illuminates, but the car has an incredible kick sideways. This is very disconcerting, as the first time I felt it I was mid corner doing over 100kph and I nearly lost it.

I'm going to ring the alignment place tomorrow and try to get it back in with them this Thursday... I can't leave the car like this, it's far too dangerous.

Did you make sure that the lug for the hicas is in its slot at the bottom of the wheel. Its a small flat tongue that sticks out about 1cm from memory - if not aligned properly in its slot can, apparently, cause problems. This is why you must buy a hicas boss kit for aftermarket steering wheels.

About the only thing I can think of, hope it helps.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
