Super Hicas Super GHEY??

nissanricer · Oct 25, 2006

Just looking for some opinions on the 240sx's with Super Hicas. I ve heard that there awesome from some ppl, and junk from some others. I am not a drifter nor do I intend to drift. Im looking at parting out my 89 HB and buying a 92 HB with Super Hicas.

info: 200,000kms (about 124,000 miles)
never winter drivin
stored in winter
always proffesionally maintained

So the car is in good condition, so lets hear some opinions on Super Hicas!!!

it's a decent option for a DD. just gets real squirelly in wet or icy conditions, makes it harder to countersteer because the rear end has a partial mind of its own.

you could always take the rear-subframe off your 89, rebuild it with some new bushings, swap on the sway bar from the HICAS, and put i on the ex-HICAS car if yoiu want to change it out.

there is a hicas elimination bar that could be an option, my cousins 93 is a SuperHicas with about 169xxx miles and shows no problems so if ur only at 124xxx ur in good condition

although we do plan on doing the elimination 2 prevent any future problems

i have the HICAS eliminator bar, its great, and u can easly adjust rear toe with hicas.. hehe

Personally I love HiCAS and I wouldn't eliminate it. 240's with this option are becoming harder to find, so don't kill endangered species.

it's great for autocross, plus it has a quicker ratio steering rack

yea a lot of my friends are telling me " Dont do that!!! You want be able to drift!!!" I dont really care, I just want a car in good shape that handles decent.

Which bar did you guys buy I am looking at the Kazama Hicas BAR. There was a cusco one on ebay but way to much money for it and SPL is on crack with their price.

best way is to do how I explained above, HICAS system adds a good bit of weight to the car too. but an eliminator bar will work.

Well I dont exactly have the time or the space to swap out sub frames. Thats why I am looking at a HICAS bar..Its annoying having it my rear is all sloppy when I go fast thru a corner.

the mad tyte ones among us will tell you to nix it.

keep it. it's there for a reason.

agree with above. Don't eliminate it, buy another car... 240sx are wayy too affordable!!

I need to eliminate my hicas because the JDM chassis harness I have, isn't for a hicas model, I don't have a hicas power steering pump on my SR, so I am wondering what is the cheapest way to disable the hicas? I know you can get the eliminator bar for like $115 then you have to get toe arms for like $200. Would it be better to swap out subframes from a 240 in the junkyard? I would think it would be cheaper, or at least in NE it would be.

Super hicas eliminator bar + super hicas rear sway bar = super cool.

Just keep the super hicas components if you ever decide to switch back

Super Hicas Super GHEY??
