Does HICAS really make your car handle better?

[elwesso]

Ok heres a question..

Last time my Q was on the track for an auto-X in carlisle the damn thing would under steer like mad and then it would turn into mad snap oversteer. That resulted in a few excursions in the grass...

I think HICAS is nice for everyday driving and high speed maneuvers, however im not sure about how well it would work on a tighter course like an autoX or a shorter road course where youre not going that fast and taking really tight turns.

With that said, I think that maybe id like to disable HICAS but I dont want to remove it, like id make it go into failsafe so that it stays neutral during a racing event and then restore its functionality all other times.

Does HICAS have those sort of effects, especially at lower speeds (below 60MPH)?

With my suspension setup it should run pretty neutral as far as sway bars are concerned.

hicas delete bar FTW

Hicas sucks in every single situation

well ive driven an R32 GTR and HICAS seemed to save my *** during high speed entry to a corner. On S13s however, it was pure garbage.

no, 4wd saved your ***

HICAS must be programmed to match the situation. The factory didn't use software for autocross but highway speeds [55-70 mph] in wet/slushy weather with oem MICHELIN SPORT TIRES.

Change the software if you want to change the system.

Rear toe swing offset complements the rear toein on braking and toe out on acceleration of standard Q.

Other different tire/size parameter will create errors in HICAS. Changing rear spring sway bars will change HICAS.

I dont think that most HICAS eliminators will work on a G50 because the Q subframe is a couple inches wider than most other subframes, unless of course they can be adjusted...

I think im going to try and disable HICAS by forcing fail safe and see what that does.
