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?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
