Hey,

Sorry if im posting this in the wrong area

Have a 89' R32 Gts-4 with a HICAS Lock bar and aftermarket steering wheel.

Previously it was always on, but Just recently (last week or so) i've been having the HICAS light flickering on and off when im driving.

Any ideas?

Thank

Abe

screwed wheel sensor or g sensor maybe

I installed one of those Torque Split controllers a couple months back, that connects where the g sensors are and what not....maybe that might be it

Are the 4WD and HICAS sensors related? because my 4WD light is permanently on too.

Well you took the HICAS out, the light is on because it's detecting a problem.

Technically there is no problem with the HICAS because, there is no HICAS there any more. So the light will always be on until the globe blows or you take the globe out or put the HICAS back in :P

The 4WD light I'm not sure about, maybe it has a problem because HICAS has a problem? Try searching in the maintenance sections of the forum. I wouldn't have a clue.

Yep pull the globe if you have a lock bar installed.

Regarding the 4WD light I would guess that it isn't wired up correctly if it's always on. What type of controller? If it's the Ruzic Engineering version did you splice the wires into the g sensor wiring or cut the wires?

El Cheapo eBay brand Torque split. Forget the name. Cut 1 wire, and spliced the rest, from memory, sorry if that isnt much help.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
