I've read a couple of things about why HICAS lights come on (power steering fluid low, alternator gone, HICAS dead), but my situation seems a little different.

It comes on when I cold start the car, and once I've been driving around for about 15 mins it switches off. Then it'll come back on only if things get a bit tail happy or traction is lost. Otherwise, it seems to stay off.

Is this normal?

do you have an aftermarket steering wheel and Boss kit because this can cause problems if it isnt all alligned up

The steering feels normal and my wheel is completely stock. Same with the suspension.

It does go off after about 15 mins of driving tho and only switches back on if the wheels spin - but goes straight back off once there's traction again.

mines been doing exactly the same,but i warm mine up for 10minutes,so

the light goes off sooner,i put it down to cold fluid.

not sure about when the wheels spin as im looking where i want to be going

this has confirmed my decission in removing hicas.

i been reading all the hicas threads for months and its just easier to get rid of it

NV_NO1 sells the lock bar for $70

im just finding someone to remove it for me now.

how is your speedo needle, does it boogie?

it actually does sometimes. today i also noticed i was doing 180kmh at 2500rpm in 3rd gear. then it went back to normal. weird =S

i might just invest in a lock bar in the near future.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
