Just a question, if anyone can help.

Over the weekend my car was given a bit of a hard time so to speak :wassup:

Anyway when i stop and go to turn my car off, the hicas goes spastic! the hicas light flash.s on and off and the front wheels just keep turning left right left right.

I have no idea what this means???

The *front* wheels? Mate that sounds really wierd, I'd be getting power steering setup checked. I have no idea what could cause the left-right thing but it doesn't sound good.

Btw HICAS only works the back wheels, it's probably going mental because it has NFI what the front is doing, ie the sensors are telling it porkies or something.

hehehe you've just discovered the HICAS test on your car... unfortunately there's a couple of things wrong with it.

a. Its supposed to be the rear wheels that do the lil dance more noticably than the fronts.

b. you're supposed to have the car in park then do a few things before it does the test. Not when you turn the car off.

I'd say there's sumfin wrong with your HICAS steering assist system, either the system trying to recalibrate itself or sumfin, or while givin it a hard drive you've manage to screw up one of the sensors.

Mine used to do that for a while too, now the hicas light is on 24/7 but I never managed to get the car to do the lil dance.

In the 32, the HICAS works off the P/S system. Usually the first thing to check when HICAS problems arise is the P/S fluid level.

My experience with the fronts going crazy was a bad connection onto the alternator, causing a 'low voltage' error in the P/S / HICAS.

But how can it all act freaky if the engine is off and therefore nothing being powered?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
