Delasangre4231 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 So I run a website or a local auto shop and every time I'm down there one of the guys says that his buddy has a 300zx with "quadra steer". He claims that it is where when you steer the front tires don't turn as much and the rear tires also turn but just a little bit to give it 4-wheel steering, the kicker is that he claims its a factory option. If for some reason hall has frozen over and it really did exist then I apologize. Its just so funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryb Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/uploads/HICAS_Schematic_Bypass.jpg The Skylines and SX have it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Looks like the joke is on the OP. EDIT: And the reason you can't see it on your 300zx, is because they didn't release it until the z32 if my memory serves right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 My '88 Honda Prelude had it too. How the Honda system worked was: When at cruising speed, early on in a gentle turn both front and rear wheels point the same direction so you can just gently drift into the next lane on the highway while the car points straight ahead.If you keep turning the wheel then the rears straighten again, and then point out the other way to tighten the turn. Or if you turn the wheel sharply the rear wheels turn out immediately. It was hydraulicly computer controlled off speed and steering sensors on the Hondas, I've never looked deep into the Nissan HICAS beyond sort of knowing that some skylines had them. But I don't expect it to be that much different from the Honda system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delasangre4231 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well major fail on my part, I didn't know. Was this some special option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 A 60's Coleman Aircraft Tug had it... Separate tiller for rear and front. We would set the rears at 45 and the fronts at 45 and crab down the taxiways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 There was a 4ws option for a Dana 60 axle on some 4x4's as well I understand, through in 4x4 use they got so much battering and they soon blew up and hence not many were sold. I can't remember if it was GMC or Chev that fitted them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well major fail on my part, I didn't know. Was this some special option? If its any consolation the racers and drifters lock the Nissan rear steer up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
