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)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
