HICAS...or not

[KaisenH]

I was just wondering, for a 1991-1994 coupe how can you tell if the car has HICAS or not? Was it only in some models or was it an option?

Also my friend blew a head gasket on his 240 coupe, he was wondering if it is an easy job that he can do himself or is it a hard job to do and he should just take it to a shop?

thanx

easy way to find hicas? look beside the ignition.. if there's a little button-like thing there (right beside the rear wiper blade button on the fastback) then it has hicas. another way is to look for the hydraulic pump right behind the diff.. it'll be obvious.. another way, which is the least common of all, is more of a split idea... i'll integrate them for you...

HICAS = GAY
pont less unles ur doing U turns in a small parking spots.... i like grip , but teh HICAS is not much of a diference .... more $ for maintnes... i think

[SHIFT_KA24DE]

yea i think hicas would really interupt your way to being the dorikin. LOLz..

[vsiev]

easiest way to find out if you have the hicas or not is to look at your car. If it isn't a hatchback, it isn't a hicas....only hatchback models come with hicas options. Since you are talking about coupes, no coupes ever had hicas.

actually your dead wrong...

it only works at higher speeds, and it adds grip, well more turning ability. THey are right, having a car with HICAS won't make you the "dorikin" but just saying u want to be that is rather gay and poser-like.

id love to have a 240 with hicas

so by calling it gay your saying the GTR and z32 Twin Turbo are also gay?

I think not

ever tried taking an off ramp twice as fast as suggested without hicas??

ever tried taking an off ramp twice as fast as suggested WITH hicas??

try either one. without hicas, it'll feel like (God forgive me) an mx6.. WITH hicas, it'll feel like nothing you've ever felt.. its like your rear wheels are yelling at you to speed up for the turn..

the only time hicas is shitty is drifting cause it defeats the purpose

[LaYzIeNoY]

the hicas never came as an option on the coupe i didnt know that, doesnt mean anything to me really tho

cant you also damage the HICAS during drifts, well you can break alot of things drifting, but ya

[logik23]

HICAS just gives you that much more shit to break in your rear end when drifting.

[D-Bo]

thats why you a) buy a 240 without it or b) take it out after you buy it if you want to drift.. and i hear its a nightmare to fix if anything goes wrong

[neogenesis]

For daily driving, HICAS is pretty nice. We have it on our Z32TT. We do tend to take it off if we're auto-x or just don't want it to break. I wouldn't mind to take it off nor would I mind to have it.

[kingcarm]

I have Hicas on my car and Love it. THe car handles nicely.

[D-Bo]

once i have my suspension in, i know i'll be juicing in my pants going on off ramps from the highway.. i think HICAS is awesome.. i don't dislike anything about it

if your worried about just breaking little parts you shouldn't be drifting...

you shouldn't even be worred about breaking your whole damn car when your drifting cause shit happens

[logik23]

I'm saying it's just more problems, I know stuff breaks, but if would be better if you had less stuff to break. Damn you're synical.
