HI GUYS,

I am having problems with my hicas light.

The light turns on about half an hour of driving and the back

wheel kicks out.

If i turn the car off then on again the light goes out.

The car is a 1993 R32 Gts4t.

Has anyone ever had this problem before i have taken the

car to several mechanics and no one has been able to

fix the problem.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.......

Hey Enrico,

We have found the problem when you put your steering wheel on make sure it is perfectly straight and the hicas sensor is in the right place.

what happens is when you have been driving for over 20 minutes the computer senses that you cannot be turning all that time and has a dummy spit the arse end kicks out and light comes on.

I had been to many mechanics here in sydney and none of them

knew what they were doing some supposed import specialists.....

Try this and let me know how you go.

Regards,

Daniel

I am not sure about where the dead centre is i have tried to get the wheels as straight as i can and re fit the wheel.

No luck its still a bit off centre i will try moving the wheel i notch

again tomorrow.

If that doesn't work i am going to Unique Auto Sports on saturday for a service i might get them to have a look into it and

see if there is something i am overlooking......

OK

There was something i overlooked.

ON the rod where the wheel fits onto has got a mark on it and geuss what i am 99% sure that this is the top dead centre mark.

Also on the standard wheel there is a mark on the top centre....

How stupid of me to overlook that i must have been drunk.

Hopefully this fixes my problem and more importantly helps someone else.

With the aftermarket wheels make sure you have a hicas boss kit with any luck they will have a mark top centre aswell and so they should at around $250AU ea.

I haven't seen one as of yet i am on a pretty tight budget and would rather do some performance mods than anything else.

Well thats enough crapping on from me i will be updating again tommorrow night with how it goes need to go on a freeway to test it out properly...

Well im pissed off still not workin dont know what to do now.

I had the car serviced today and have been told that the front end bushes are F**KED and they will need replaceing.

Dont know if this could be contributing to the problem.

Might have to take it back to UAS and get them to have a look at it for me.

I have a '93 GTS-4 and I am also having a problem (I think) with my HICAS, my light stays off while I am driving and all that, the fluid levels are all full but the back end seems to be kicking about now and then, especially when I go over high gaps in tarmac (like at the start of different surfaces with dodgy roadwork and bridges).

Does anyone know what might be the problem?

      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.

      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...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
