is the R34 really 4 Wheel Steering?

Most Skyline owners disable the HICAS or Super HICAS, as they are actually get in the way when driving competitively on a track. AWS system on skyline can cause excessive oversteer on corner exit, especially on low speed corner. A negative toe at the rear might help to stabilise the rear end on corner exit for cars with HICAS, the main advantage of HICAS is more responsive steering in high speed curve and better turn in, but they hinder you in a high speed trail braking entering a corner and bad for drifting, that's why most racers and drifters IRL remove them.

That's for R32.

R33-R34 use electric motors on a rack. My personal experience of it (IRL) is very mild, you really don't notice it is there, unless you're into high speed drifting it can interfere. As mentioned even if GT5 does visually simulate it, you would be hard pressed to see it.

Oh, damn electric motors get in the way of everything.
 
All GTR from R32 to 34 are all basically FR with with ATTESA system, which turns the car into 4WD when the rear slip/lost traction by splitting the torque to the front. All R32-R34 Skylines which are not GTR are mostly FR, except GTS4 model which is 4WD- but they all can be converted to FR easily, including GTR, which is why you can drift a GTR IRL, just change it to FR mode by disabling ATTESA system.
 
I'm pretty sure he meant not safe to be running the car jacked up like that. Not being a mechanic I couldn't say if it is or not, but I don't think he meant the 4WS.

I was just waiting for the Ferris Bueller moment.:lol:

exactly 👍

nice, bueller reference, btw
 
I thought the Skyline was a FF..........

At least one was.
Maby the R34 is a FR.

No the R34 is 4WD. I think you are talking about the R32, which is FR.


All generations of Skylines are FR by default way back to the original Princes to the V36, then there's a few 4WD optional trims available in R32-R34 series (GTS4, GT-R etc)

No Skylines are FF.
 
well what do u know... it worked... its just very hard to notice...

There is a different camera angle between these. Look at the rocker panel in both shots. This shows nothing.

i tried to get the same angle... but i screwed up...
 
Base R34 was the GT then came a GT-T 👍

and on topic i dont beleive the car is really steering.
having that in the game was probably to complicated and unnesessary since you really cant see it so its most likely only in the handling of the vehicle.
But on that note to i think the same ATTESA system was on a few 300ZX model's and the Stagea.

ATTESA was never fitted to 300ZX but it was fitted to some Stagea models, unless you're confusing ATTESA (Nissans 4WD system) with HICAS (Nissans 4WS system) which yes it was fitted to both at some stage.
