This is for an R32 GTST. Just wondering if this is a hicas boss kit or not. I had this in my previous r32 and kept getting the hicas warning light come on at various times but could have been to my lack of knowledge on how the hicas is connected properly. If it is, can someone tell me what goes where with the tabs and such plz?

It looks like a Hicas boss kit but the gap for the HICAS locater pin looks a bit large.... I had an issue not long ago with my boss kit, but that was my stuff up i put it on the wrong way :bunny: (It had many gaps on the back for the Hicas locater and plug)

basically the HICAS hub behind the steering wheel had a couple of degrees either way before the boss kit would engage the HICAS hub and tell the computer it was moving. So then after about 15 mins of driving on the highway (above 80kmh I think you have to do) my HICAS light would come on

If that sounds like what yours was doing then maybe you should consider another boss kit? I got a Works Bell HICAS boss kit for mine, which works well when you put it on the right way :blink:

Where did you get it and how much? I probably didnt even have the locater pin in the hole, lol. Im talking maybe 6 years ago i had this problem. I knew nothing of HICAS or skylines for that matter. Ive had my current skyline for about 2 years now but never thought of replacing the steering wheel til now. The leather is starting to come off mine.

haha nice

If you get the works bell one, you'll see what i mean... Theres one way that it will fit on loosely and another way it will fit on quite snuggly (If its like the 33 boss kit anyway) just make sure you order the one with HICAS lol

but yeh make sure you put it on right and its engaging the HICAS hub as soon as you turn the wheel

DONE!!! Used works boss. Only slight problem is engaging the blinker to turn left. I have to turn the wheel slightly to engage it. I havent tested at above 60km/h so not sure if the hicas light will come on yet but hopfully it doesnt.

Matches my gauges now.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
