More, More, More…. thats all the next generation of the GTR had to offer. More boost, more differentials, more doors, more litres, just plain more. The GTR still continued on with its evolution into a world icon of speed and style. Nissan Decided that it was time to make the Skyline something greater than what they had offered before, this can mainly be seen in the suspension and active differential controls.
Super HICAS – as discussed above and now that you have a general understanding of HICAS Nissan decided it was time to turn the monster into a corner carving machine. Able to inspire courage in the timid and nerve shattering cornering speeds available to those who dare. The changes Nissan made to HICAS were smaller but key improvements to prevent issues in reliablity and a quicker reaction to save you in the event of a slide or spin. The changes came in the form of electronic actuators instead of hydraulic lines. For even further stability Nissan offered an Active Rear differential to replace its standard OEM Viscous type. As opposed to the standard type this new LSD locked in the event of tire slip, AND as an added bonis for those of you who are just like me and enjoy the simple little gadgets and accessories you got a little light on your gauge cluster that reads, “SLIP A-LSD” that turns on and blinks when the differential engages…you know, just in case you were unaware that you were in a full slide or spin.
