Hey everyone i just have a quick question for those who have messed around with a super hicas or had experience with one. i bought a 91 240sx super hicas a little over a year ago, but i wanted this car to start drifting, i bought a ebay hicas removal bar and installed it after my 6th month with the cari did notice the difference of course. ive been drifting for about 6-7 months, and had no problems with. i just wanted to know if the hicas has been 100% removed or will there still be some slight play?? i have no problems with it, i was just curious about it. ive check it and tried to moving it, and i did feel some play, but i think it might be worn out bushings.?

The ball joints on the rear upright could easily be worn out, giving you the play you feel. It would be easier to switch to a pair of non HICAS uprights and toe rods.
