hicas light comes automatically when cars power is on. it is four whell steering type thingy which aids you in corenering, obviously. the wheels don't infact turn into a corner, they actually create a negative camber effect, but don't ask me exactly how much.

It does tend to make the car a bit drifty at high speeds and always wants to re-correct itself through a drifty. Which leads me to my question..... what happens to the Hicas if we get the springs re-tensioned ie; lowered / stiffened will it still work? Or can we get the hicas disconnected??

mmmm..

Guys

I too have hit the HICAS blues i recently noticed after i replaced the clutch on my car that the HICAS light was coming on and i would also experience a slight knocking noise with some ****house steering problem. I read up on what u can call a manual on the car and it said to check the fluid on the power steering pump i noticed it was a bit low so im gona top it up today as when i checked it was late and wanted do it when there was proper light. ill let you know how i go and if anyone else knows any other sure fire solution other then removing the hicas altogether let me know , but when you come to think about it if all else fails why not hey ?

oh yeah !

I have done the Hicas test on a prior occasion it was O.K. then not that you can tell much by it?

      Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)

      Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.

      Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).

      Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
