Hicas Description

[siksII]

If you think of a Skyline as what its supposed to be... ie a sporty passenger car, then HICAS is awesome. If you take a corner too fast it kicks in and helps you keep the car in control and back on line.

If you're a fully sick drifter or die hard trackday warrior, then HICAS is like going on a date with a hot chick and having your mom run upto your car to give you a scarf so you don't catch a cold... ie... nice thought, but totally useless. You want to control your car one way, and HICAS wants to help so it makes your car go the other way.

i disagree with you on this point, i understand that it might make the turn in feel sharper on medium speed corners, but high speed cornering say 100-140km/h it makes the car feel unstable, this thought is shared by a few passengers in my car and even someone driving behind it who has seen how the hicas moves the rear of the car on turn in. not safe at all!

100km/hr cornering with passangers?? >< dun want to be responsible for other ppls death....

huh? isn't that what funkymonkey is saying? it's good for normal road driving for safety purpose but not for fast cornering??

mate no body was going to die at any point in time when trying this. by corner i mean sweepers that u will find on many open roads, and also from my experience on the skidpan. If you go driving on a decent open road (usually 100 zones) u will see how annoying it is.

so the rear wheels turn the same way as the fronts at high speed?

when i take high speed corners it feels like the rear wheels turn slightly to the left while im cornering right, making the swing out slightly

yes, they first turn left then right as u continue through the corner, the wheels turning left as u turn in is what annoys me badly, as you said u really feel the tail swing out a bit, if anything it makes the car unstable!

This quote was taken from another forum from an owner of an R33 GTR-

the best way ive heard the 4ws explained is that for an average driver, it helps correct those little mistakes thru corners you might make, but for anyone who tkaes precise lines, and likes to be in complete control of the car, it gets sticky very fast, as you and the car are both trying to correct something, and the car tries to correct you, you try to correct the car, and this goes on and on making a small problem a large on quickly....

Not a bad description I guess. He went on to add:

...like big brother was trying to help u but he'd had a few cold ones beforehand  :lol:
