I've read through so many threads on HICAS removal/heavy steering, and found no solid answers. Not cool.

R32 GTR - There is a BR,B,BR/Y (for those that don't know wiring diagrams - 3 pin plug with Brown/Black/Brown+Yellow strip wires) plug that goes to the HICAS solenoid in the engine bay, below the plenum. Black goes to ground circuit, other 2 go to HICAS computer. Page 795 of PDF service manual, top left, W-5 diagram. I've since ripped the HICAS solenoid etc out - This is the only change to the sensors/HICAS wiring since the lock bar went in and everything was normalish.

So: How do I wire it so the HICAS computer still thinks the solenoid is there and not blow the HICAS ecu up or anything undesirable?

As far as I can tell, this is the only change that would be affecting the HICAS computer, when the lock bar was installed everything worked as usual. Actually, the steering used to go between slightly heavier/light at low speeds depending on which way the wind was blowing, but anyway... Now it's doing the usual proper heavy/nice and light thing.

Good times.

Looking through the diagrams I thought you might be onto something.

Went outside, multimeter in hand. Each coil measures at ~4.8Ω Only problem with throwing a 4.7Ω resistor in for each coil is that if it is driven continuously, then it would need to dissipate 30w each, or there abouts.

Maybe a higher value can be used instead without the hicas module freaking.. hopefully the window of tolerance for the solenoid driver circuit is wide.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
