nathan_r33 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi all, not sure if im posting in the correct place, but i have an r33 gtr. i dont drive it very often but when i do the car feels very weird in the rear, unstable and seems to feel as though the rear is "walking out". the hicas seems to be working fine subframe bushes "appear" to be fine also tie rod ends etc are fine. iv'e tried a few wheel alignment settings, currently 1mm toe in rear 1mm toe out front. im runnning mines esca street coilovers and thats all as far as suspension items go. it doesnt feel normal at all, iv'e driven other cars with hicas before and owned an r33 gtst for 5 years previously, neither felt like this car. Anybody else had this problem? fixes? etc. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453827-r33-gt-r-handling/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borci88 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 An easy check would be to pull the HICAS fuse out of the rear fuse box, next to the battery, then take it for a drive. If it's not doing what it usually does and feels more predictable, then HICAS is probably your issue.

nathan_r33 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 i forgot to mention i gave that a try still felt the same although i'll give it another go tomorrow. maybe the rear sub-frame is moving on the bushes.
