hey guys, my younger bro just recently got his hands on a 32 GTR and noticed when he takes a left hand corner a little bit harder than usual the Hicas light illuminates.

besides topping up the oil and or removing the hicas and installing the lock bar, would anyone have anyidea why it would be going off?

cheers

^^If your fluids are up and your powersteering sensor is OK then it migh be a wheel alignment issue.

I gota similar problem atm.

It was just a slight Left Turn then the light would show. I cleaned the steering sensor with some spary my mechanic had to flush out the dust, grease and what-not. Checked and cleaned the connecting points and reinstalled it back in.

Turns out that the fix the problem BUT the HICAS light only comes on at Full Lock Left Turn.

Re-plug the dyagnostics computer back in and we looked at the steering wheel angles and what degrees its reading at.

The dyagnostics computer finds that the steering wheel sensor is out.

Turns out that the wheel alignment is out by 30 (Approx) degrees ie. Full Lock Left, it would only read up to about 336 degrees (somewhere along those mesuments)

Like when we did 1 Full Turn Left it would only read up to about 334-336 degrees. Back to Full Turn Right it was over 360 degrees.

From memory, he said its going to need a wheel alignment but manualy adjust the tyre rods (I think) at the same time steering sensor to get everything back to centre 0 and even on each side. (Funny thing tho, this only happend about a week ago but I had got new tyres, tyre rod and wheel alignment done at the start of the year) only till now it shows up.

So far we have Isolated the Steering sensor is out but still unable to accsess the HICAS Computer in the boot. The dyagnostics cannot seem to find a connection to it. So just have to wait and see.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
