If the steering angle is incorrect, you will get an error code telling you that.

I have a stock wheel on my series II R33. I do get an error code telling me that my speed sensor is not present. I have done this diag on several other R33's with great sucess....

I don't always get the car to wiggle it's bum ( it does this the first 5 or 6 times that you put it into diag mode) as I believe that you may need to reset the ECU after several attempts....... As everytime I try to put it into diag mode now for the HICAS, it just shows up the error code (21 in my instance) pretty much straight away....

When I get a chance, I will re-set the ECU and see if that makes any difference :(

I've found out with one sensor that ECU doesn't always detect a slight fluctuation in voltage.

For example the voltage difference was roughly 0.02v from recommended voltage

for that sensor. Basically wasn't enough for ECU to detect sensor is faulty and

produce an error code. ECU thought everything was working properly.

Found this problem sensor by checking via volt meter at the sensors.

That's interesting about the 5-6 times.

If anyone needs a hicas computer i have one...

and other random hiscas stuff..

hicas is teh pooh

Question is.. Can I run the standard computer and start the car to run the test with.

non standard afm. Non standard injectors. I think not. But please correct me if im wrong.

i know it theoretically it should work but its not. Me and joe tried at length on the phone to get it working but no go, also i have messaged paulr33 on this matter, but no one has confirmed it works with the pfc yet. Have you got it working yet?

nah, still no love :).

Its interesting now the problem has shown another form of itself.

Last night, after i started it, the hicas came on, Stayed on, But the powersteering was still working this time ;). but the ACC throttle blip still didnt work.

im surprised you dont have one already drift-man :)

(its the first thing i did to my 32 when i got it)

lol zennon i dnt have one buddy.. my 180 dont have hicas eww..

suspension wise i got rear traction rods. rear under brace strut brace F+R and Teins all round on 1.5neg

will have steering spacer no more rubber one and castor rods front and front underbace. oh and the 2way diff helps :)

the other 180sx has hicas and be getting a lock bar soon.

but ill prob pull the engine out and doin all pro

when i do the RB25 unless i get bored one arvo..

oh and zennon first thing i did when i got my 180sx the very arvo was raise the bonnet and put a nardi on.

seriously i dont understand why u guys dont just lock the f**king thing up. beats tearing ur hair out trying to find an electronic issue amongst all the crap.

but thats just me *shrugs*

It really helps turn in, and stability on sweeping corners. I am not using the car for drifting, so Id like to continue to use it. Really comes down to driver preference, And Id like to see how far I can excel with the Hicas. Ive driven Non hicas cars my whole life, And Im liking the technology.

Please dont whore this thread. Lets keep discussions on track.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
