Hi

Just got a question, for an r32 gtr, if the hicas has been completely remove and replace with a lock bar (complete ecu system remove). Is it normal for the HICAS light to be on on the dash?

and if it is what is the best way to turn it off? (remove the bulb?)

Check to see if the HICAS control unit is still under the rear parcel shelf, if it IS, then check your power steering fluid level :worship:

nope its been remove. everything for the hicas is gone i think this may be the reason why the hicas light is on because its looking for the hicas ecu?

however i will double check the power steering levels just incase.

edit: from what i was told hyperdrive remove the hicas system so im thinking it was done correctly and maybe i just need to add a constant power to the hicas ecu plug so it thinks its there

HICAS control unit (it's not an ecu because it's not controlling the engine :worship:) needs to be there, is your steering heavy aswell? as IIRC the HICAS control unit controls the speed sensitive steering too.

I removed everything HICAS related except the control unit.

Steering is fine. which is odd cuz like you said it should be heavy without the control unit aka ecu :)

edit: might have the double check that the control unit isn;t there but im 100% sure i didn't see it and just saw the plug hanging down (will check when i see the car tonight)

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
