Hey ladz, ever since i put my aftermarket wheel on with a HICAS boss kit the warning light has been coming on after about 8 mins of highway driving..

i had the Wheels aligned today and the steering wheel is on PERFECTLY STRAIGHT... i also had some nissan mechanics look at it and check it over and its all A OK. they also ran a diagnostic with a result of NO FAULTS

but the bloody light still comes on... and it drives perfectly..

how can i stop the light from coming on, its very worrying to see it on when i drive, but i know nothing is wrong.

There is a fuse box in the boot with Hicas on one of the fuses... what happens if i simply remove this?

what other way can i stop this bloody light from coming on when nothing is wrong

Drill a small hole in teh dash and unscrew or break the bulb?

i know that sounds silly but i dont want to see the bloody thing, its annoying... especially when i know everything is fine..

First remove the gauge surround then remove the actual guages and all you have to do is find the right bulb and twist it 90 degrees then pull it out.However i wouldnt rest till i found the reason for the bulb being on. Has to be a cause. Mine does the same however i havent driven the car for over 12 months so im yet to fix it. I have done the same as far as the boss kit goes. The workshop manual outlines the diagnostic procedure for HICAS. Dont trust anyone, thats my motto..

Deren you've probably got the wrong boss kit. There are two for the R32, ON-110 and ON-115. One is for early model cars like ours (pretty sure it is the ON-110) and the other is for late 92-onwards (or something like that) and says SUPERHICAS on the side of the box. The lugs are in different places. I think ours is 2 and 7 o clock, later models were 12 and 6. Might be the other way around, haven't had the wheel off in a while.

And for the other guys, Beef said he is using a boss kit, not a HICAS lock bar. I think we all get the big difference. Using a boss kit shouldn't mean taking out the HICAS globe. Beef you may also be using the wrong boss.

Hmm hope not as i doubt they would exchange it over 12 months later lol...Thanks for that though Mark. Could you take a look at your to tell me which I should have? Only if its not too much hassle to find out.. Might try google now, see if there is a HKB site

on r32 its the green one with the white trace wire. bottom left hand corner of the smaller of the 2 wiring looms on the hicas computer.

dunno on R33, but get your hicas computer, pull the wiring out and then use a short piece of wire connecting each pin on the harness to its respective pin on the the computer until you find the one that turns the light on. once you've found it, cut that wire

thats what i did on R32 anyway, dont think it would've changed dramatically for R33

give it a go

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
