power steering fluid low

It's a 33 - I understand they have electric HICAS (which would explain why the steering pump on my RB25DET upgrade is so much smaller than the R32's pump).

yeah HICAS comes up on my r33 aswell. Ive got a different steering wheel on the car aswell. So when hicas pops up is that a bad thing?

My HICAS light is coming on intermittently, usually when I'm really turning the wheel. Generally stays off until there is a big turn, then stays on till the car is turned off.

General consensus is that it's low power steering fluid or a leak. Could it be anything else as its only coming on sometimes - then staying on, but fluid looks fine and can't see any noticable leaks...?

It's most likely an intermitent sensor problem. I had the same problem on my 240 and there's nothing to worry about. All it means is when the light is off, it's working and when it's on it's not. You can either fix it or just leave it as those are your only two choices.

Now if you gone with an aftermarket steering wheel/hub combo and did'nt get the HICAS hub, well then unless there's something else that is your problem.

When it's not working the HICAS system locks up straight so don't worry about it. ;) I pulled the fuse to the system on the 240 and never had any problems with it.

My Hicas light came on when i was going down the freeway for the first time. I pulled over and turned off the car then turned it back on and it went off....

I do have an after market steering wheel but it came fitted when i bought the car so i dont really know if its a hicas boss kit or not. Is there anyway to tell for sure?

Mine came on for no reason whatsoever and has stayed on since for several weeks now. I took it to Mercury Motorsports and told them about it but they had no idea how to fix it.

The car feels no different so for now I'll just leave it as is. Most likely just a sensor as my fluids are fine.

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      By DominusUniversi · Posted

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
