Hi guys,

I've got R32 gtst and never have any problems with me HICAS, the light never ever came on til...

I've changed my caster rod to an after market adjustable ones.. well, after I've got this rod installed in my car and after I've done over 80kms/hr then the light came on... so, I thought something to do with the wheels alignment (I didn't do it after the rod installed)

Now, I've got my wheels alignment done but the problems still there, the light still came on after 80kms/hr

So, what should I do next? or what should I look for to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance for all ur inputs

Cheers

Might just be a coincidence ! Have you checked the power steering fluid level ? Make sure you do this after the motor has run for a while and is up to operating temprature. There a sensor in one for the power steering lines and if the level is low and air starts to get into the line the sensor picks it up and triggers the HICAS light.

Wow i dont see how changing castor rods would affect HICAS.

I have put adjustable ones and havnt had any problems.

Could just be a coincidence.

Anything else you have changed recently?

yeah... that's what I though ...

nope, I didn't do anything else apart from changing the rods

?????

how? by following the instructions here : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/HI...icas+diagnostic

Post #7 is the one i used. you might have to try it a couple of times as it was a prick to get it for me. When you feel the arse end doing a little shimmy each way then you have it, just count off the flashes and then chase it from there.

just a word of warning if u do ditch the HICAS, it is illegal if the bar isnt engineered, i just failed inspection because of it, i was hoping they wouldnt notice it but the inspector i got was pretty anal.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
