    You could contact Nathan at Delusion H Performance in Waukesha, WI -- he does quite a bit Nissan and Import stuff. He personally owns a S13 with a RB26DETT swap that he built years ago. It may be worth checking out....

    HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension) is Nissan's rear wheel steering system found on cars ranging from the more recent Skyline and Fairlady Z (300ZX) iterations to smaller models like the Nissan Cefiro (A31), 240SX/Silvia (S13 & S15)/180SX and Nissan Serena/Nissan Largo. It is also found on models from Nissan's Infiniti division, such as the Q45 and the M45/M35. Unlike other four wheel steering systems, HICAS and Super HICAS are fitted to improve handling rather than as a parking aid.

    Earlier HICAS versions used hydraulics to steer the rear wheels. The hydraulic system was powered by the power steering pump and used speed sensors to determine how much and in which direction to steer the rear wheels. Later versions, called Super HICAS, moved to an electric actuator for the rear steering rack, making the system much lighter. The Super HICAS system also used its own computer to control the system instead of speed sensors. HICAS and Super HICAS rear wheel steering is limited to about 1 degree in either direction.

    HICAS was introduced on the 1986 Skyline GTS coupes (GTS, GTS-R, and GTS-X). The system was later adapted to work on many models in the Nissan range, beginning with the Passage GT.


    welcome to BCM btw. i saw you on MW240 and NICO.

    I am not sure why you would want the HICAS rack, as it is a downgrade when compared to the non-HICAS rack. Just wondering....

    it is a 4 wheel steering rack. it is by far, a better turning radius than the normal stock 240. less amount of turn from lock to lock. and tighter turning radius.

    and yes i know...its a pretty penny to have it fixed. i had just redone both racks a year ago. the roads up here suck. too many potholes. so i broke an arm off on one of them.

    i have cash in hand if anyone knows of one.

    thanks!!!

    Actually I might have a Hicas rack at my dads shop. I imported a 180sx clip years ago and it came with an entire HICAS rear end. I'll get back to you in a few days.
