240 sx question... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm new to this forum and I wanted to know the meaning of these:

-1991 Nissan 240SX SE Hatchback w/ HICAS Removed
-no VLSD

1st question:
What does HICAS mean?

2nd question:
I know that VLSD is a type of limited slip differrential that can be found on some 240sx, but I was just wondering what does the "V" stand for?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

HICAS is 4wheel steering. It supposedly helps handling.

V = VISCOUS. Its like, THICK liquid. Gotta warm it up before it activates.

Both suck, easily fixed with $.

Wow! I didn't know some 240's came with 4 wheel steering. Its better to get the kaaz lsd then. But since you said both suck, i'll just take ur advice. Thanks for the help man!
