Considering fairly much all that stuff comes from your dash area, look for wiring that has been played with.. Also check that you have a good connection onto the hicas module itself and any connections in between.

I only had the steering position sensor working out of that list when I started fixing faults, and even then the pricks had cut the harness back from the power steering solenoid anyway..

kneejerk response.

I really do like the speed sensitive power steering, without the hicas system working you don't get this. I found it easier to spend some time and work out why it isn't working and fix it, rather than rip it out and have to live with a non functioning system, building a module for proportioning the power steering without the hicas module, or having to swap in a steering rack from a car without the speed senstitive steering.

It isn't hard to work out the wiring, r32 wiring diagrams are reasonably comprehensive.

By all means lock the rear in place after fixing the issues if you don't like hicas, but I feel that getting the power steering working first would be a better idea.

      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
