New to the 240SX

[rebelgtp]

hey everyone just thought i would sign up an introduce myself. i actually JUST bought my 240SX today!!! :ylsuper

Anyway i do have a questions about it already. It is a Super HICAS model and I was wondering what all that entailed? From what I have gathered so far its 4 wheel steering and LSD. Anything else?

Also just wanted to know if there is anything that I should watch for in the car since this is my first 240. THanks

sweet, i have a 91 240 w/ hicas(disengaged) too

Welcome and congrats on the new car.

Many people get kits to eliminate the HICAS because it can apparently feel out of step with the driver during high speed cornering. If you plan on driving it in a racing situation, that may be something to consider.

Good luck with the 240 holmes.

Thats weird that so many people eliminate it. I actually like it from what I have driven so far. Maybe its just from differant driving styles? I tend to push things hard when I corner and that was a major point as to why I bought the car. I loved how it handled. I'll take it out to my local track (PIR) and do a couple laps to see how it handles there but only after I have dialed it in a bit. It could be its just been so long since I have had a car that handles, I have been driving my truck for 3 years! I was missin my performance damn it...

PIR-phoenix international raceway? if so go to az240sx.org

[rebelgtp]

No it would be the wetter of the PIRs, Portland International Raceway. I'm hoping I can find some guys up here with 240s. Only person I know that has had one sold it about 5 months ago.

welcome to the club

[TurboTuli]

I'm moving to Eugene tomorrow... Check out the Northwest Nissan Forums at northwestnissans.com or hit me up on AIM, my sn is Gix3r.

[rebelgtp]

cool thanks for the tip on the site. just got back from a rather fun drive in the car. i think i am in love with this thing lol.

again i do not see why people do not like the hicas, i took a few corners faster today then i use to with my old porsche. i didn't even feel like i was pushing the car as hard as i could have either.

[NoStickers]

my sr wasnt able to support it

[downshift]

WELCOME!! good luck with the 240, and i hope there is plenty good years with it.

[rebelgtp]

No Stickersit wasn't supported by your sr engine? i thought it would just be a matter of a differant power steering pump? am i wrong? if so please let me know cause i planned on doing an sr next year.

downshiftthank you very much. i hope to have this car for awhile i love the way she handles and the fact she is still pulling strong. once i get the pics sized down a bit (right now they are huge you could make a poster outa them) i'll post one.

[The Mic]

my hicas is still funcional with the sr in it. The usual people who remove either drift or plan on doing it. This is just me but i dont like teh feeling of my car being snapped in 2 during a drift.

EDIT: hey we have the same model!!111!!!:ylsuper

[NoStickers]

i didnt get a ps pump that could support it and didnt want to buy one

[rebelgtp]

ah ok that makes sence. is it possible to turn the hicas off and on? has anyone ever tried that before? hmmm guess i'll have to do some research

[Dattebayo]

You have to remove it to turn it off, or if its not connected.Also, it can prevent ultra fun drifting.

On another note, you have to have the HICAS with ABS in order to have the VLSD option. You do you have ABS???

[rebelgtp]

yep i do have the ABS as well
