hey im trading my POS toyota pickup for a 92 240sx super hicus hatch (think they are all hatch's). the car is OK. it has been in a couple minor wrecks but nothing i cant deal with. he says the hicus works fine. i was wondering if there is anything hicus or s13 wise i should look for. i mean things that are with s13's or the hicus model. i know my way around s14's pretty well.

thanks gods lol

HICAS*

zerothread/183490

here is a good buying guide for things to look for.

to make sure it is a HICAS check for the ABS unit, and a power steering pump with 2 lines running out. it will also have a factory LSD

Removing HICAS is fun I did it not too long ago, it was pretty easy.

body parts are cheap and im not wondering if its worth 2100.. my truck is worth like 1500 tops. its a beat to crap 84 toyota pickup that i have jumped 8 feet in the air and drove off a small cliff in the snow. my truck is full of rust and has been totaled twice. its a good trade and thats not what i was asking.. i just wanted to know if there was anything particular i should look for.. oh and my girl would be happy driving a geo metro but i wont get one for her lol. she just wants a car doesnt care what kind or how it looks. she takes the bus everywhere and hates it. so thanks

hey to answer your questions or concerns:a hicas model has imo a bit better parking lol. ( thats the only time i felt the hicas working)but other than that it really feels the same as a normal 240. ( scrath that. in the rain it feels a bit better too)but if it malfunctions, which most do, then it becomes annoying.if they have a glitch then they are suppose to return to a locked 0 degree postion but in my case mine froze a bit to the left. really it is your decision but id say do it. if she doesnt care about the looks or anything go for it. good trade in my op.yea its kinda scuffed but panels are a dime a dozen.

thats exactly the response i wanted on this page. thank you..

i might be trading for a 93 toyota pickup in much better condition, its my buddys and he wants mine cause it has a straight axle and is a much better wheeler.

but thanks for that

im not paying 2100 for anything. im not spending any money. it is a straight trade.. the mod that changed my title was out of place!

yeah, the title is confusing people..

I took hicas out of my car. it was almost scary to drive at high speeds with it. i couldn't even keep my car going straight down the highway, but maybe it was just me? It seems fine now that i took it out.
