HICAS is the 4 wheel steering system. the system does a quick check when you turn the car on then the light turns off when everything checks out OK

You should only worry about it when the light STAYS on. then there is something wrong.

I believe HICAS turns on at over 40ks an hour - it might be 60 i cant remember so it does not work when parking its only there to make the ride feel better and you get that nice skyline feel when cruising around corners.

Hey mate,

also designed to help the car avoid oversteer..... Can actually get in the way when on the track cause its turning the rear wheels (Only up to about 2degrees i think from memory) trying to keep the car straight while the driver is also making corections, hence drifters usually locking or removing the hicas system to help with balance.....

I have NFI. :(

I don't really feel mine unless its through long sweeping bends at 100km/h.

Driving behind the car I could see what looked like a little 4ws at around 70km/h but that could have been the stuffed subframe bushes that have now been replaced. :rofl:

it does feel very stable at high speeds for a fairly small car with a small wheelbase (in comparison to commies etc) but i dont know if thats to do with HICAS. i refuse to get rid of it untill im getting sideways at over 80ks which will require some track work. then i may lock it up, but for now i do a bit of country driving.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
