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?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
