About a week ago my car was low on P/S fluid and whenever i took a corner the hicas light would flash briefly. I ended up topping it up last night and headed up to a mates house. While driving i noticed that anything under 3k rpm was ok but every after 3k rpm the hicas light would flash briefly and then dissapear and come back on once i hate 5krpm and so on. The real issue is when i was heading up the mountain to my mates and having a bit of a spirited drive, when the hicas light comes on it would slightly yank the wheel to the opposite direction i am turning.

Any ideas on what could have happened? Over filling it wouldn't cause this would it?

My guess is it ran so low on fluid that it now has air in the system, it will eventually bleed out.

You can bleed the system by lifting the front end up, moving the steering from lock to lock till air bubbles in the res no longer appear, then start the engine and repeat while it's idling. Then simply top up the fluid. The steering systems in GTR's are variable relative to speed also.

    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

    • Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
    • Hi, i got 1998 r34 4 door auto abs model and its manual converted with bigbox when i bought it . I successfully find the neutral and reverse light wire but can’t find the speed signal wires for speedo drive. I know its grey plug but on my loom no grey plug with 2 wires . I opened the loom upto where it getting branch with other wire, i’m amazed they is no wire. So need help how to fix the speedometer problem.
