Just got my 32 back from the paint shop and the steering feels heavier to drive now now, quite a bit heavier, anything over 10 it's pretty noticably heavy.. it's like heavier than my other cars with no power steering, dry turning it it's fine which is odd, feels pretty light, the power steering fluid level is perfect and theres no warning lights.. also none of my belts have broken.. Could this be a HICAS thing? hope not, hate that crap

Quick question, is your speedo still working? I had a prob with my speedo cable and this affected the power steering due to the HICAS system. It would work fine on start up but once I drive it and get to 60kph it would switch the power steering off and would stay that way till I turned it off and restarted. Once I changed my speedo cable, all was fine again.

Oh Yeh thats exactly the problem i had with my old car actually, um my speedo works fine, the odd thing is it doesnt fix after i restart it like it used to (old thing used to screw up every few mins, used to off and on it to fix as well).. also if i drive it for a while and then dry turn it it will be the same as if i just turned it on so it can't be the speedo/80kph thing.. got me very confused, cheers dude, anyone else got something to try?

Yo so getting the car back from the panel shop tomorrow.. can anyone else suggest anything? I don't want to take it to a mechanic for this sort of problem because they'll probably have no idea (have had mates with hicas problems that have replaced heaps of crap and not yet fixed it)

Is it likely that it's HICAS? don't know if they had this problem on gtr's.. hope it isn't because i guess it could be any number of connections thats died.. Just doesn't make sense the way it seems light enough dry turning but at speed it's heavy.. is there some part of the ECU that could be screwing up?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
