Hicas Problem: Steering Angle Sensor

Hi,

I've been having an issue with my hicas in my R33, where the hicas light stays on after I've been driving for 5kms at high speed (motorway speeds).

I've taken it to a mechanic where they connected up a consult and found the error to be "steering angle sensor - not present". (I didnt get them to fix it cos they were too busy that day, and i need my car for work)

So I decided to take it apart to have a look. And....I cant see really see whats wrong. I've read how some ppl have said that their horn button has broken into pieces and that has caused them problems but mines clean.

I kinda part apart the sensor: i just took off the optical sensor module from the slotted disc assembly and both seem alright.

Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for?

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

actually the wheel has nothing to do with it. most boss kits have a facility to use the steering angle sensor. the problem is different model skylines have the thing allinged differently. even in 32s some have the 2 prongs at 12 and 6 oclock, and some are at 2 and 8 oclock. you just need to either get a boss kit that will interface with the sensor, or if your current one alread does, get the correct one. or thirdly if you still have the stock wheel then i'm stumped!

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
