Hi Guys,

Ok. It's 6:12 in the morning and I'm at my friend's house in Higgins and his car is sitting in the parking lot in Civic. It's a Series II R33 Gts-t. Some a#$h*&^ broke into the car and tried to hotwire it! They removed the steering wheel mount covers and then played with the wiring, then when the realised that couldn't they just ripped stuff out of the car. THE CAR WON'T START! It appears that there is some cable missing... there are two plugs that dont have anything in them at the top of the steering column. Any ideas???? We checked all the fuses etc. and nothing seems to to be missing.

If anyone could help out please call me, my name is Patrick (Pat... if you don't already know me) and help us out. If you know whats wrong or could lend us the part until we could find a replacement - whatever - we would really appreciate your help.

Phone: 0411487633

Thanks guys,

Pat

sorry to hear bout the break in

by the sounds of it, some amature watched gone in 60 sec and thought he'd have a go, ur best bet would be to track down a wiring diagram and check all the wires as god only knows what they have or haven't done, or you could take the car to a auto electrician could cost a bit :thumbsup: good luck

Update::

On closer inspection after stuffing around with it in the cold at rediculous hours of the morning. we found the problem. they just unplugged a whole bunch of stuff and it was just a matter of finding out what goes where. Car started fine. only problem is we think they took off the wheel and now the Air bag light flashes and the hicas light comes on :thumbsup: anyone got any ideas on that?

Cheers anyways

ouch, never park your skyline in civic

fixed.

Particularly if you're not in the Canberra Centre Carpark - i mean its a wank, but having to have a parking ticket to leave does help slightly, not to mention being a well-lit area with reasonable amount of people walking by frequently.

Deterence is the key.

Did you have an alarm by chance?

do you have an aftermarket steering wheel?

Hi nsanity,

no, i am not sure, i bought the car right after one month of importation...therefore, i am not sure if it is aftermarket steering wheel or factor fitted one...

I believe the Original one says "Nissan" or has "SRS" airbag on it.

Anyway, the point being, that HICAS relies on many things, one of those being, the steering angle sensor in the OE steering wheel.

I have a MOMO one of some description, thusly after some time over 80km/h, HICAS light comes on.

There is about a half billion threads on this board about it (including how to get it to do diagnostics in some wierd freaky fashion) but the general thing is, if you see the light come on, its not working.

HICAS is a questionable feature anyway. Yes it does aid the driver in a little way - but if you know what it feels like to be at the edge of handling, HICAS apparently sort of blurs that feeling a little. Meaning that some drivers don't like it, others do.

I don't have it (aftermarket steering wheel) so eventually i'll get around to grabbing a set of lock bars, and pissing off the 20kg of dead weight.

Oh, and disconnecting that bastard led that always comes up.

There is a fuse in the boot, take it out. HICAS is gone. But you still need a locking bar, and if you get hold of GTRGeoff on these forums, He can supply one no problem.

Guys thanks for the help,

Firstly, what is locking bar? Secondly, even though HICAS is not working its okey to drive on without disconnecting it... right?

thanks again...

A HICAS lock bar is a steel bar with mounts on it that bolts inplace of the rear steering rack and holds the rear wheels completely rigid, therefore locking out the HICAS.

I drove without HICAS on for ages when my car had no speedo, the only thing that will happen is that your steering will most likely be heavy and the rear may feel a little "unsettled" as the rear wheels wont be steering but they may move slightly under load.

I dont think it will do any damage driving without it as mine is working again now after being disabled for a few months.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
