Hey all,

I got a problem with my R33, everytime i go over a bump or if the road is alittle bit rough, the car seems to sway side to side like i'm going bush bashing or something, the car just feels really unstable sometimes at the slightest bump.

The car was fine until i got it back from the tuners when i had the SAFC tuned on the Dyno, i dont know if something is broken or loose.. any help would be appreciated thanks

Good thinking K

Actually, i remember once with my car on a dyno the hicas light was coming on. after a few goes of the operator getting in and

out of the drivers seat, the steering had been turned a considerable amount. hicas kicks in at approx 80+kmh and tries to turn the rear steering, which of coarse it cant do cause the rear wheels are wedged into the rollers.

dont know if this could break anything, but worth consideration.

hey guys!!

i seem to have the same problems as Drivebai is experiencing and did a hicas diagnostic on the car just before..

the codes i recieved was

3 long flashes..........followed by 2 short flashes..........and then 1 extra long flash

does anyone know how to read these codes properly??? my guess is that its either saying

first 2 long flashes means there is a fault

2nd long flash is the first didgit = 1

2 shorts flashes = 2

meaning:fault no#12 - Hicas motor power supply not present

or

3 long flashes = 3

2 short = 2

meaning: fault no#32 - engine signal not present???? (i have no idea im lost)

could someone much more cluey give me a second opinion on this !!

CHEERS!!!!

I have HICAS error codes 22 and 32, and I've got permanently heavy steering, but no HICAS light on ever. Anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: My car also has the sideways movement over bumps too. It's really annoying. Even driving on a slightly bumpy road gives my arms a workout trying to keep it steady.

Mic33r - did you check out that site i posted earlier..

yeah my car doesnt swing that bad.. it just kinda wobbles abit and is very annoying.. also the other nite i gave it a squirt of the line and the rear was bouncing up and donw while losing traction where as before the tyres would just screech...

also does that if i go round corners really fast.. i rang up justjap and they think it more than likey the shocks or a loose bush somewhere i will have to test out the hicas diagnostic thing as well.. although my hicas light doesnt come on either...

let us know if you find a solution

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
