HICAS is really a "pimp package" that Nissan made. It stands for Hoes In Car Are Sweet!...

[mranlet]

Are you trying to increase your post count or something?

That's cool though...

I am waiting for you to ask "What's the difference between all the trim levels? I see SE and XE, what's the deal?"

[Mayor]

well i'm just trying to get help, it seems to be bothering you.

lol no silly kid hicas is for rabits..


sorry

Hicas isnt FWD, there was never a FWD 240sx. (s13 and s14) there was however a S12 called the 200sx, now heres where confusion comes in the S12 came out in the early 80s, but in the mid 90s nissan released a new car called the 200sx, it was a B14, a sentra, S series chassis are 240sx/Silvias/180sx ect.. just figure the S stands for sports or Silvia or whatever. The B series chassis are the Sentras, i think B for base model

that second 200sx was a FWD. Now back to hicas

Hicas is a All wheel steering technology built into the rear suspension. it uses hydrallic arms to turn the rear wheels several degrees with, or against, the front wheels, depending upon speeds. Alot of guys dont like it for drifting, or dont like it at all. However it seems to be much apreciated on the Skyline GTR which also uses the technology.

Hicas equiped cars are all RWD like all S chassis cars. I once described Auto trannies (which i have) is like having a drunk monkey shift for you... i would imagine hicas might be alittle bit like the drunk monkey tweaking the rear wheels while you drive lol.

i havent drove with one, but that is alittle info on hicas. they are pretty rare though so dont worry.

Now interestingly enough ALL S13s have several degrees of passive rear steering built into the rear suspension. Or so i've been told. Kind of interesting bit of info, and they seem to drift fine.

unfortionatley you will find mucn much more automatic transmissions then manual. i own/drive/drift a auto.

Keep looking for the Manual, but if you get a good deal on a auto i wouldnt pass on it. Manual swaps are pretty common with S13s. if you want more info may i sugest google, lots of it there on auto to manual swaps.

and yes you can drift an auto

[Mayor]

i know you can drift an auto but i dont really i think its more better to change gears your self.

[nissanguy_24]

I prefer a manual transmission my self as well. Although i do have to say having a free foot to hold me in the stock seats really helps lol.


If your looking for a manual keep at it, may take more then one day for this.

[Mayor]

[nissanguy_24]
