z i thought you said that you had a 2+2 correct me if im wrong. If this is the case You do not have HICAS.....Most Z drivers take HICAS off of there Z's i personaly have never driven a Z with HICAS so i dont know what the performance differecne is

NA's don't have Hicas...only turbo's do from my understanding. I could be wrong. Anyway, Hicas isn't that bad, but most don't like it.

Come on now guys, what have we learned from ricers?.....Just because it has the sticker doesn't mean that it's equipped with the item. No HICAS in N/A's and '96 TT's (I believe). I have HICAS, but I don't have a 4was sticker. What does that mean ? Not a damn thing. Just enjoy the ride.

lol
you guys crack me up.
All TT's have HICAS. 93+ HICAS converted over to electrical operation from hydraulic.
The sticker on your master cylinder is just to indicate that you have 4 wheel anti-lock braking system. Otherwise known as good old ABS.

I'm really hoping the person that asked the question doesn't know much about Z's cause thats kind of a staple to know about Zs. Silly Peoples

Oh, come on now, be nice . We were all uneducated about the Z's when we first started tinkering with them.
