Guys (and girls)

 

I'm planning to take my car track-day'ing a lot in the future and as such it is being fitted with a full polyeurathane bush kit, adjustable anti-roll bars and fully adjustable shocks all round.

 

I'm hoping this will pretty much tranform the handling- especially on a track - but wonder if I should get rid of the HICAS.

 

The thing is - if it was a bad idea then Nissan wouldn't have put it on would they ? Isn't it's whole purpose to tighten up the turn in etc ?

 

And is a strut brace (front and rear ?) going to make much difference or is it more about under-bonnet dress-up ?

 

Thoughts as always appreciated......

ok here are my thoughts on the HIcas

 

GET FOOKING SHOT OF IT ITS CRAP

 

and I do mean that in the full sence of the word too. replaced mine, wow what a difference.

You will find Nissan put the HICAS on to improve road manners. Every specialist will say if you are doing track work bin the HICAS.

you'll also need adjustable upper mounts or Harve's kit, and adjustable rear arms to sort your camber out after lowering the car.

 

you may also want adjustable tension rods

Yes, the strut braces should make quite a difference, due to the amount of body flex - try jacking up one corner of the car and then opening & closing doors & hatchback etc !!!

Thanks guys.......

 

I can feel the credit card creaking under the strain already :D

 

Are we talking about these ?

Any tips for the best strut braces available ?
