Question:

Hicas, when dose it work, how does it work, why does it work...

This is for me and other who would like to know...

Is all wheel steer as i know, and it works at certain speeds for handling..

Is this correct..

What speed?

Can you feel it?

I have a R32 Gtst and its got hicas... im sure it works, i swear i can feel it...

But i put it up on a hoist, put it in gear hit like all speeds turned the wheel and no rear wheel action...

Whats goin on?

Any help would be appreciated:D

You won't get it to work while the car is stationary unless you put it into diagnostic mode which is not straightforward.

It deflects the rear wheels differently above and below 60 km/h as less defelction is required at higher speeds.

In a nutshell the idea is to try and induce understeer for safety and for 90% of people it is probably a good idea to keep it connected.

There is a long thread on HICAS on either the handling or forced induction forum. Try an advanced search for HICAS with threads/posts by Sydneykid and you'll get the whole enchilada explanation.

In a nutshell the idea is to try and induce understeer for safety and for 90% of people it is probably a good idea to keep it connected. What can make the car go mental is the fact that it is controlled by an old tech, slow ecu and if you are balancing oversteer on the throttle it suddeny goes 'oh I know, I'll help now by inducing understeer' with the result that it will turn the rears and reduce the friction level of the contact patch even further, possibly causing a lose. This is the time you go 'stop helping, you sh$t box'.

oh oh oh... yes i get you derrr.

Sorry

Try the DIY forum or the susp forum, there's a tutorial there. Good luck, there's also a lot of cases of people having a rant because the diagnostic mode procedure is so mental. It's funny seeing the car sit there and twitch it's back wheels from side to side.

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)

      Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.

      A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
