HICAS ocking kit ?

[itbmils]

All

anyone know where I can get a HICAS locking kit fitted in Brisbane

(someone that has done it b4)

I also want to remove all the HICAS stuff once the kit is installed

[Anquetil]

Lock bar or lock kit?

[maccattack]

I had mine disabled electronically. I could be wrong, but it makes more sense to have it disabled rather than locking, as the cars hydraulics must be straining against a locking bar. Can't be good for it in the long run.

Done at Brisbane Tuning and Turbo at Woolloongabba.

I found a little relay or something connected to my computer the other day that says hicas lock. Does it make any difference? Why would you lock it, isnt it for better control?

[maccattack]

HICAS is good for standard driving but a nightmare for track work.

In high-speed corners (when you NEED to feel the back end of the car as it starts to slide out), the HICAS will begin steering the rear end of the car and induce an oversteer situation. It makes the rear of the car feel almost weightless. As you try to correct, it steers the other way, etc. This starts to cause a high speed "fish tailing" effect which is hard to control.

Any higher speed driving in the car is far more predictable with HICAS disengaged.

Just get the lock bar for $110, install yourself in 30 mins.

Just gotta put up with a constant 'HICAS' dash light.

Where can I get the lock bar from? Is it a copy of a brand name one ??

[Anquetil]

skylinegeoff makes them for $110 delivered.

Not sure he has 32's though?

I think you can put a loop in the hydrolic line to make the system think it is working if you don't want to remove it ? (Anyone confirm)

When the locking bar is in can you still set the camber and toe ok ?
