Hi guys i was driving home on the just cruising and 100km/h and my Hicas light came on, I have a 33 gtst series 2.

What could be the problem and should i worry about it??

Whole car is standard (that i know of)

I have read alot of the other threads about this Hicas light and from what i have read it isnt anything to worry about, I jus wanted to verify this.

Thanks

i had the same issue in my R32 GTST, once i topped up the power steering fuild the light turned off. HiCAS is not cheap to fix, a guy at work with a 33 had same issue. He took the rear wheel off and found one of the Hydro lines had a tiny hole in it causeing pressure and fuild loss which turned on the light.

hope that helps

As You're probably already aware, the R33 HICAS is actuated by an electric motor, unlike the hydraulic system in the R32.

In My car, the HICAS light comes on when the speed-signal wire coming out of the speedo drops it's bundle, and there's no speed signal getting to the ECU or the HICAS box (the two elec. units downstream of the speedo on the speed wire).

On my car, sometimes the speedo AND the ECU lose signal, sometimes it's just the ECU (The AVCR I've got takes its speed signal from the ECU, so I can tell where the break in signal is) - I'm guessing it's dodgey connections inside the speedo, at the screws in the back of the instrument binnacle, which hold the speedo guts to the circuit board.

peace-out. :(

lockbar is a bar that gets installed in the rear to lock the back up.

then you can remove the hicas all together.

i removed all my hicas lines and solenoids and installed a lockbar

which means the car drives like a conventional 2 wheel steering car

if you search the forums youll find all the info you could ever want ;)

i personally hated the 4ws - especially on the track

mine wasn't even faulty and i took it out!

(so if you do actually want to keep it and need any parts ask me! lol)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
