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.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
