Hi Guys!!!

Newbie here, just want to ask you guys what do you think this problem maybe from my GTR.

My Hicas light will turn on suddenly when I pass thru some kind of rough road .. And I hear this clicking sound in the rear trunk bottom left side area, sometimes the click is simultaneous w/ the hicas light turning on, don't know if coincidence though. The clicking sound sounds like a relay flickering. Any of you mates experienced this?

I got the same problem... exactly. Found your post when searching for "hicas".... no posts have the same issue as this.... so not sure how to fix it. I also get erratic behaviour from the 4wd. Big bumps in the road cause it to put power to the front wheels and it shudders until i lift off the throttle. Very strange problems.

Drop me a line if you figure it out... or if any gurus stop by this thread....

I have had a very similar problem, I drive a '97 R33 GTS25t pod/3inch turbo back zorst.

The problem occurred the day after I installed an Apexi SAFC2. After sitting on 90kpph for 5mins I started hearing clicking noises near the passenger seatbelt and then the HICAS lights came on. Car still drove normal, I stopped on the side of the road and the ticking noise continued and HICAS were still lit. Turned the car off waited 30sec and turned it back on the HICAS lights were off but the ticking noise still comes on intermittently (usually at high speeds).

Since then there's an occasional ticking noise near the floor of the passenger's seatbelt but the HICAS light have not lit up since and it has been about 2weeks since the first incident.

If anyone has any ideas please shed some light on us.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
