Hello last night my friend got in my car and was fooling around and he turned the wheel until it locked, the car wasn't started. i always park in my garage with my wheel perfectly straight,thats how i know he was messing around with it.anyways this morning i went to start my car and the key wouldn't turn, the wheel was about 20 degrees to the left so i had to turn the wheel just a little bit more to the left so my key would turn. after i drove for about 5 minutes i noticed that when i got to a stop sign or red light my hicas light would start flashing.and when i took the turn my steering became ackward and tried to counter steer a little bit. it only happens if i try to corner at a low speed like under 15km. now i did a hicas diagnostic test, and the code was 7 short flashes than 1 long flash than 1 short flash followed by a longer pause. and than it would repeat 7 short, 1 long, 1 short, 1 pause. now the only thing i could get outta this code is number 8 has a problem???? the parking break senser ?? does anyone have any information that can help me because driving has become anoying. thanks you.

the power steering fluid looks full.

what do you mean by steering rack?

i just recently had all my control arms and tie rod ends replaced.

could the problem be from my friend turning the steering wheel all the way til it locked?

what does the code mean from the hicas diagnostic test.

the 8th flash is long

park brake sensor???

any other ideas

Check for leaks. Sounds like Steering rack is gone.

Check your power steering fluid is full.

if its front steering having funny play back then its from the front more likely.

I had a Hicas issue with the light on my R33 GTR and it was the rear at the time. The unit died.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
