Hey guys, just bought an R33 GTST, now 2 questions that I really should know the answer to but I don't, anyway.. AFTER driving for 30 minutes, there's a light below my speedometer (HICAS) I was just wandering if I should be worried because I don't know what it is.. Can someone pleaseeee tell me what that is? And also when I bought the car it comes with a turbo timer and turbo controller (hks) and everytime I boost it to around 5/6 it makes multiple beeping noise, should I be worried? I'm worried that the engine would blow or something.. Sorry bout the noob questions guys, it's my first turbo.. Please help!

the beeping is probably a boost warning level or overboost reminder

check what controller model and brand and find its manual

the HICAS light may come on if the speed wire (53) on the ECU loom has been cut (to avoid the 180kmh speed cut)

either ignore it or check the ECU wiring and look at wire 53, its probably cut

As Paul already covered the likely issues,

If you click this, you will find the forum index, Try forced induction for the EBC issues, suspension etc for the steering/HICAS. search them and see if others have had the same issues... What EBC is it? Find out, find a manual, and work out exactly what it is telling you.

Well the Hicas light could even be becuase the hicas is cancelled with a hicas lock bar.. If thats the case then its a good thing.. Check under ur car if u have a bar near ur diff or is there a bar with a motor kind of a thing..

The plain bar without the motor is a hicas lock bar

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
