Hey guys..

just a quick question, i know there have been alot of posts about the hicas light problem but none seem to answer my question.

I have owned my r32 89 skyline for about 5 or 6 months now and had no problems until just the start of this week where i start the car up and the hicas light stays on for a few minutes of driving, but each day i drive it it takes longer and longer to go off.

i dont have an aftermarket steering wheel at all and only thing i can see is wrong under the hood is one of the belts (i think power steering belt) hasnt been put on properly and a quatre (width) is hangin off and shredding a little bit so that will need to be replaced but i not sure what is causing hicas light to come on..

any suggestions?

so where exactly do you refill this oil??

Check your Power Steerting fluids at the front. The bottle just behind your airbox / pod.

Then check the bottle in the boot. Its on the Right Hand side as you face the boot and you can unscrew 3/4 bolts to remove the panel.

Top it up with power steering fluid.

That's for ATTESSA & AWD - nothing to do with HICAS & steering.

Back to the problem - how old is the battery? It could be that the battery is taking longer and longer to be recharged after starting.

im going with powerstearing fluid is low (the one behind the airbox, as my car has the exact same problem (small leak in one of the hoses that im changing next week) gets longer and longer for the light to go off until i top it up.

when my battery is low the hicas light pulses and stearing wheels jerks around

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
