Super HICAS eliminator?

[JamesT43]

I have searched all over the internet for a 240sx HICAS eliminator, but all that I have been able to come up with are 300zx or Skyline kits.

Is it safe to say that one does not exist? I find it hard to believe that with the number of HICAS owners, absolutely noone has wanted to disable this system enough to do it.

You will probably end up having to get a new rear end. phase2 sells JDM rear ends with LSD's.

Tomei makes one.

Alright, I found a site that lists Tomei products for the 240sx, and the HICAS eliminator is on there for 12,000 Yen (about $100).

I may just be overlooking something though, but I havent been able to find a way to purchase it anywhere. Are there any stores that carry Tomei products?

no there's not

[scuba_sean]

can you not just disable it electroniclly and then brace the rack?

This is a very informative answer to yours and anybodies question on this issue. In fact I should be a moderator for this answer. "If an abnormality occurs in the system, the SUPER HICAS function will stop but the ordinary 2-wheel steering will operate normally." This is taken from the 1992 owners manual. In addition... Susper Hicas SystemThe SUPER HICAS (High Capacity Active Controlled Suspension) is an advanced, electronically controlled 4-wheel steering system.The angle of the rear wheels are designed to turn momentarily in the opposite direction and then change to the same direction as the front wheels.At low speeds, the rear wheels will not and the system functions as a 2-wheel system.If an abnormality occurs in the system, the Super Hicas function is blah, blah, blah. In other words, just disconnect some wires or linkage to the Hicas and your car will be a 2-drive system. Why you would want to disable such a fun system is beyond me.

this is all very new to me. how many cars came with this hicas system? were they for sale in the us? does it make a huge difference? i think i remember seeing that the 300zx could be had with aws, but i didnt know it was available on a 240. is there a cost of upkeep on this system, and WHERE CAN I GET ONE??
