hey mate if you got all this gear to go in your rs4s i hope the coilovers etc didnt come out of an rs4v cos they wont fit.

coilovers is the best thing i did to mine for better 'drivability' aka doesnt feel like your cornering in the titanic

rear is an active LSD, my rear wheels skip like a locked diff when turning close to full-lock

i actually like hicas and dont understand why people hate it so much

I am using coilovers from an auto stagea, but i'm aware that i need to swap the rear eyelet for a fork. I've got a welder so that is easy enough

Can anyone tell me what hicas lock I need to get? Is it the same as R33?

33gtr, its the auto guys who stuggle to lock their hicas (if its optioned) because their rear cradle is wider

You sure its a GTR? I cant find ANY R33 GTR hicas lock kits (which suggests they dont have hicas), but there are plenty of R33 gtst ones.

weld from eyelet to fork? i wouldnt recomend it. if they are tein just contact them and buy the lower mounts

cant find them? they are everywhere mate. type HICAS LOCK BAR / LOCKER / LOCK OUT / DELETER into ebay or just jap

my fronts also dont turn when jacked up but my rears do(rears turn in opposite directions and fronts dont move at all). when i dump clutch and light up the rears, i pull 2 strips and the rear does lock up. but i think the front doesnt turn because it has to do with the transfer case locking up

as i stated earlier, my RS4S has an ACTIVE LSD, if you guy do some research on this you'll know how it works and why the wheels spin in opposite directions with the wheels off the ground.

perhaps the fronts wont turn due to the transfer case and atessa?

ive guessed it has an ALSD, but no ALSD light on the dash like the GTRs or other equipped cars...... i always though they had a mechanical LSD, then thought maybe viscous, but now ALSD. so many people on all diff forums claim so many diff things.

ive looked under it, but it didnt look like the ALSD's that i see on other skylines. but as long as it locks up when i have wheelspin is fiiine with me

I think ALSD was an option on RWD only but could be wrong, if you dont have the lines going to your diff then it will be viscous. All stagea lsd's that I have seen were viscous only 260rs had mechanical lsd. The rs4s diff is a gtst 5 bolt center in a stagea housing, 260rs is an r32/33 (non V spec) mec diff in a stagea housing. Stagea housing is unique due to the mounting of the Altessa pump.

Ok so i just took delivery of it. Drives great except that it crunches into 4th gear, so i'll need to get that looked at

Regarding suspension, I've already got the following ready to install

Tein coilovers

Cusco Castor Rods

Whiteline swaybars

Adjustable front upper arms

Cusco Adjustable rear upper arms.

Alloy subframe lock kit

Is it worth getting a hicas lock kit? I'm not a big fan of letting the electronics decide what direction I should be going so i'm tempted to do that

This thing is a bit slow compared to our other stageas. I'm sure the 3076 i'll be installing on it shortly should resolve that issue though :)

Are Dayz S2 RS4S in black a common thing? I dont recall having seen one before

Also WHY NO CUPHOLDERS!??!! There must be a reason they decided to install a blanking plate on the RS4S' rather than the cup holders under the stereo.

I would personally steer clear of tein's, they are designed for japanese roads which are alot smoother than ours, they will be really stiff and will anoy you after a while. Ive got koni adjustables in my RS4 S and they are awesome.

Hicas lock bars are a good idea there are a few going round or you can actually lock the standard hicas up yourself.

There is a few DAYZ getting around, mine is a DAYZ.

Heres a really good one and im pretty sure when i was looking at doing mine these fit the stagea

I live in an area with shit roads and run Tein's and they are fine. So you have RS4 rear shocks that you want to use on an RS4S? if so just change the rear hubs to RS4 you will need to press out the hicas ball joints and swap them to the RS4 hubs, not an easy job. New ball joints are a rip off $130ish ea. There are other rack ends available that delete the ball joint and use a bush, I would convert to these. Your other iption would be to buy a pair of rear R33 gtr coilovers and swap the springs & tops etc, either way will cost $$$

    • 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?
