Hi thx for the reply, it comes up after 30 minutes regardless of speed. Haven't had a look, don't know where to look as I just got the car 3 days ago, wouldn't know where to look, and I don't really wanna take to mechanics just incase it's nothing and they'll overcharge .. Anyway hopefully u or someone mite know why it's doing that.. Cheers

Diagnostics are the easiest way to figure out what's wrong - I had some recent HICAS probs that I had to dig into the R34 Workshop manual and figure it all out (in my case it was a mechanic who had removed sensors and not replaced them properly - they're spring-loaded when mounted into the steering rack).

i have the same problem, but i cant seem to enter into diag mode since my steering wheel is aftermarket, and isnt sitting dead straight. But then i have read that if the wheel isnt sitting straight it can cause the hicas to malfunction thinking the car is endlessly turning slightly.. but im not to sure.

With your situation, with an aftermarket steering wheel - it could be that your boss isn't one that is HICAS compatible - not all of them are. In that situation, the boss won't be activating the steering wheel angle sensor so the car doesn't know what angle you're steering at. (And of course, cant detect your steering movement to enable HICAS diagnostics).

I've also previously run into a situation where (with a factory wheel) my steering angle sensor was off - but for me, it was actually the entire rack that was out, and had to be re-adjusted so that the steering wheel sensor registered centered properly.

Hi Jrm

Ive had the wheel off previously and the boss is HICAS compatible, but couldnt crack the centre nut so i didnt straighten it up. I hope it is only the wheel and not my rack.

    • 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.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
