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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
