my hicas light came on today when i was driving on a straight road at about 80 kmh, i stayed on that speed for more then 10 mins...

also i tryed to do the HICAS Diagnostic but it didnt work. is this because i took out the battary terminal and then put it back on then done the diagnostic, coz my alterator is reked so that when i turn off the car i have to take out the terminals

well the hicas light is probably because your steering wheel is not on straight. Do you have an aftermarket one, or have you had a wheel alignment lately? THere is a sensor in the wheel for HICAS, when the wheel is crooked it thinks you are driving in circles so it throws the error light.

BTW I have no idea what you mean by the 2nd bit :blink:

Your still running hicas? A lock bar will fix that problem then just get wheel alignment. Then u can just take the bulb out of the hicas light or mount ur boost guahe on the steering column like on my r33. Problem solved an more predictable handling while sliding and cornering fast

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
