Hi guys my 32gtr just had the hicas light come on, and know the steering is heavy and the speedo has stopped working as well.

What could be the problem with it ( new to gtr,s).

I can get it to come good again ,by turning the car off and back on again while driving, it also turns it into rear wheel drive which is good, but that only last for say five minutes then the light comes back on again, then heavy steering again.

Thanks guys

If he can get it to work again, then it can't be the speedo cable.

Try checking the P/S fluid level.

The steering will work for a little while, then the HICAS will spit the dummy due to signal loss. This is when the steering becomes heavy.

works for five minutes? works if you turn off/on while rolling? goes into RWD?

that is prob because it cant get a stationary reading from the abs sensors, then when you stop, it sets itself up(awd/hicas/PS)...

I would save f**king around with trial/error, and go to someone who knows skylines. Stopping/steering i leave too professionals

2LV8ETR and Cerbera are bang on the money. It will be problem with the speedo cable, I will put a beer on it that it is the square drive end that goes into the rear of the cluster, seperating from the cable itself. And I LIKE beer, more than people some days..

The hicas module doesn't see any change in speed but sees other inputs changing so after a short time it provides an output that has been determined to be safe over a wide range of vehicle speeds. The key off on just resets the timer, goes into rwd cos you made the attessa module freak be being in motion when it came back online, so it faulted to rear only.

You have to remember that not a lot of mechanics have any experience with these vehicles, even nissan doesn't want to deal with them, so we do most of the work ourself, learning from each other. Enthusiasts I think we are called. I am not a mechanic, or an auto monkey of any sort, but the electrics in my bunky I wouldn't let anyone else work on, having been through almost every part of the system in this steaming pile over the last two years.. Much rather bend my back, and use my brain than hand over my hard earned to someone else to learn.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
