My boyfriend's 1990 240 has HICAS (4-wheel steering, in case you're not familiar with the term), which causes some interesting drifting difficulties in that the rear wheels shift 2-degrees. I was wondering if any of you knew how to disengage it without doing anything drastic. We are hoping maybe it is engaged by a fuse that we could remove, or maybe just simply cut a wire somewhere.
If it is not that easy, we are figuring we just have to make the rear-end immobile somehow. Either way, any tips or suggestions would be great.

Thanks

its disengaged by a bar of some sort called the HICAS ELIMINATOR


i think steve millen invented it (STILLEN peformance)

check out their website or do a google on the term.

The 2nd Gen RX-7 has the same system,

It is a PITA but replacing a bushing eliminates it..
