Unbolt the s/wheel off the boss/hub, check to see if the HICAS sensor shaft is poking through a plastic locater, thus when the s/wheel turns the shaft turns the sensor.

If not go to your local commercial rice supplier (in Vic it's Autobarn) and buy a HKB boss kit to suit a R33 with HICAS, about $80.

For my car R33 GTST (with hicas) part number: ON-177

Here is a Just Jap link, scroll half way down the page: http://www.justjap.com/parts_ninterior.htm

i have also heard that hicas sensors can just be dodgey after the years, so it may be something you cant fix unless you wanna get another sensor. We have just given up with flicks 32 as it randomly comes on and off.

hicas light is connected to a number of things. Power steering, speed sensors, steering wheel sensor and hicas.

Power steering - known issues like low fluid, or even leaking fluid from the cap which runs down the wires off of it and soaks the connections can set the light off...

Speed sensors - is the speedo working? Back of the dash sensor working? If your car as a faulty sensor it will drive 400m up the road and trip the steering into saftey "hicas mode" and the steering would go heavy with the light come on (had this one myself)

Steering wheel sensor - mentioned above

Hicas - Is it still working? Have u actually checked it is? I recommend a Tomei Hicas lock kit for a street driven car if u dont want Hicas anymore. It contains 2 brass small shims fitted to the power steering rack which go under the steering boots (hidden), and then the best part - a small black box that is wired into the hicas computer to keep it thinking everything is working with the hicas - basically keeps the hicas light off on the dash.

If u have thoroughly checked all 4 then your hicas light wont be on :banana:

For those that are not aware: ArenaGTR has an R33 GTR, thus oil levels and any oil related issues do not apply to an electronically controlled HICAS system.

Have you checked under the car, at the HICAS control unit? it could have been removed or it could be unplugged.

I would still check the s/wheel hub.

Have you ran a diagnostic on the ecu for error codes (never done one myself so you'll need to use the "search" button)

I would personally remove the HICAS unit, fit a HICAS lock bar, get a 4 wheel alignment and remove the bulb from the dash cluster. Problem solved :glare:

Nah, didn't have time to do any checks, cuz when I picked up the car from the docks I had to drive it straight to the compliance workshop, luckily when I was driving down there, cops spotted my car without number plates, but didn't pull me over, pheww....

but yeah, will definately do diagnostic check once I get my car back from the workshop ^^

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
