I'm thinking of getting one of these, because when HICAS comes on, it feels like the power steering has shut off, and frankly that don't feel too good.

How much are these, in general, and where would I look to get one? I wanna make sure I get a decent one, then obviously I'll have to work out a way to install it. :yes:

PS: Just because the hicas light comes on doesn't necessarily mean that the hicas is the faulty item. There can be many causes of the light coming on some of which a hicas lock bar will not fix.

It's not on permanently, just randomly, it seems. When I notice the wheel becoming sluggish, the light is usually on.

Power steering fluid level is perfect. *shrug*

Let me give you an example. There are 4 screws on the back of the cluster. if any one of them is lose, the hicas light will come on and you'll drop powersteering.

A faulty speedo can do the same.

Basically anywhere along the line can cause the light to come on.

I hope for your sake that the bar will fix it.

I'd assumed so, seeing as the steering feels crappy when the light is on; kinda like I'm back in my old Daewoo. (sad, I know.)

Of course its gunna feel crappy! Its not working properly... Thats what a warning light is trying to tell you :)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
