hey dudez.

Just fitted an Aftermarket Steering wheel for my r32 gtst.

The boss kit IS HICAS enabled, but the light seems comes on after about 10-15km of driving.

how do i get rid of this? has it been installed in-correctly?

all the wires have been put in the right place.

im gonna have another crack tmrw, becoz it isnt straight, so ill have another tinkle.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

im guessing the bosskit will have to be dead straight, otherwise it will think your turning, its probably throwing a code after a time period as it knows something is wrong. (can't be constantly going round a corner...)

Dude it sounds like the wrong boss kit. If you try to straighten it and it doesn't work, you'll need to swap the boss.

The usual problem is using the ON-110 when you need the ON-115 or vice versa. It is because the HICAS lugs are in different places on early (pre -92ish) and late R32s.

Keen to hear how you go mate

well there are two types of R32 hicas steering angle sensor. one has the lugs in the 12 oclock and 6 oclock positions when at straight ahead (this is late model, post model change). the other has them in the 2 oclock and 8 oclock positions when the wheel is straight ahead. look at your stock wheel and see which one you have (the lug bits on the wheel are fixed). then pull your boss off and look at it. if they are different, that's your problem. when your friend fitted the wheel he would have rotated the steering angle sensor ring a bit to get it to line up with the boss. now the hicas ecu thinks you are constantly going around a corner and hence the error.

boss being on crooked would also be a problem, it depends how crooked though. A little bit wont cause hicas error, a lot might though. my guess is the wrong boss.

I ended up modifying the boss kit by grinding off the 2 small spots of weld that held the backing ring in place and rotated it to where it needed to be and spot welded it back in place. Problem solved.

so which boss do i need for an early (91) model??

Marcus from memory it should be ON-110 for early models and ON-115 for late models. You just need to make sure the lugs line up. I don't know when the changeover year is - I think the hkbsports website is using Heisei year instead.

Enjoy! :)

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
