I have just installed a Tomei hicas electronic lock on my 32 but I cant get the bastard into diagnostic mode to do the next step which is putting the shims in the rack.. I thought I could remove the lines and move the rack by hand then just bleed the system but if anyone has a better idea I'm all ears...

Better off gettin a lock bar cheap as! :P

Only reason I did'nt go with the lock bar at first is because its defectable and very detectable.. The shim kit I have hides under the racks boots and the electronic lock is tucked away, so you'd have to do some serious messing around to find that its been locked out.... All I need to do is get the bastards in tho! Think I might try some more this weekend to get it into mode and failing that I'll just pull the lines and deal with the mess...

haha, i had the same problem with my R33 (i know it's related to R32) , the shims won't fit and according to the manual, you have to loosen the nuts from both sides by 6mm and slide the shims inside then tighten them back. I think you need to remove the battery terminals to cut power to the hicas motor as well. I got a JP guy to translate what was needed. I know these instruction are for R33 but they may serve as a reference for R32 owners.

My problem is that I cant seem to get it into hicas mode to make the rack move so I can put the second shim in... still thinking of just letting the pressure out of the rack with what looks like a bleed valve on the rack itself, then moving it by hand... not 100% sure but wont be doing it for a while yet (no time)

I followed the directions that were given out exactly and all i got was really light power steering for the first few seconds of driving and then heavy power steering until i turned the car off again, and after a few months a leaky PS pump. I pulled the tomei box back out, left the shims in and the plug the instructions tell you to leave disconnected. I have no HICAS light on my dashboard showing either.

I would love to hear if someone has had success in putting this thing into a 32 and having no problems with it months after they have followed those instructions, and are still having no problems months down the track. I have been told they are for R33's only, I will pay someone to wire mine in if they know what they are doing.

Do you have a picture of the wiring under the parcel shelf?? Did you follow the instructions in the link?? I would love to see where i went wrong?

I don't have a photo - it is not that interesting.

The instruction I used were the ones in the kit from Tomei. I just got the colours translated from Kanji to Engrish & the wiring was done accordingly.

If you want to check your install I would check two things.

1. Use google to make sure the wire colours are correct ie the Japanese lines up with the Engrish which in turn lines up with the bit of kit.

2. Make sure you weren't looking at the plug connector upside down or whatever.

Cheers, thanks mate will do. I think maybe there was some uncertainty about if the diagram was looking at the box or at the plug.

If you look up to and3 3's post he has the link for the pdf file on this which will give you the colours in english. As for the right wires to splice them into, you need to look at the diagram of the plugs and you will see it has a dark patch indicating the plugs clip, all you do is look at the plug, then the picture, and count how many wiring spaces there are from the clip to the end of the plug.. Ie: oooo####oo The plug is not symetrical so you can work out which way you are meant to be looking at it in comparison to the diagram (cant remember which way at the moment :thumbsup: ) then you just need to follow the direction of the wires in the diagram Ie: If it shows an arrow going to a box then the arrow is a male connector you put on and the box is its female friend and vise versa. Not 100% sure but I recon the direction that its wired would make a difference. Hope this is understandable and helps you out

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
