Should i get a 240 without the Hicas or what?

Should I or not cuz i here some people in here that say its wack and others say its good. So im stump what should i get.

Another question is what 240 should i buy fastback or coupe. I know i can put the S13 front on the fastback and make it a Sileighty or should i get the coupe and put the front on that. Any opinions would be really appreciated. Thanks guys

The fastback or coupe is your preferance, don't get one or the other because someone tells you to, I personally like fastbacks better but again thats just my opinion. I'm not real familiar with the HICAS but, like you said, I do hear a lot of people don't like it.

i belive its 4ws(4 wheel steering) So instead of the front tires doin the steering, all 4 tires steer together. Which means not that great for drifting..

HICAS is basically 4-wheel steering. When you take some turns, your back wheels will turn a few degrees

look.... dont listen to people who say Hicas modles are no good. the system can be disabled......ohhhhhhh

they hicas model is fully ecquipped with all the goodies...

i would buy one and spend the $60 to disable HICAS...if i wanted to drift.
i say buy it. and disable.....

dont pass up a good deal on an S13 like that becasue it's not a good set-up for drifting.....feel me?

depends on where you get the kit from.
sone are heavy and others are light weight....some require you to remove the whole system(recomended)...others just act as a tension rod between bothe wheels..

either way it's the "best" S13 sold in the US(aside from JDM S13's)

And get this VLSD without having to ask if you have it. Hicas eliminator.

Rip the lines out and the controller.

DONE.

We have to do it on a friends 300zx because he ruined it drifting.
