Hey guys ive been having trouble with my HICAS its a 1994 r33 GTS manual, ive been searching for days and found lots of people have the same symptoms but i can't find any answers. Anyway it first came on last december and i had no power steering, this happened after i stopped at the shops and came back to turn it on. Id leave it over night come back and steering is fine and no light so i turn it off then on again lights back and no power steering, so i cleaned all the connections at the HICAS motor behind the diff and this seemed to fix my problem till it would rain, the light would come on even when cold but go away after 5 mins of idling but if i drove straight away would not go away. Now it was raining about a week ago and came on but has not gone off since still no power steering, i ran a diagnostic which showed an error 32 which is NEUTRAL SWITCH INPUT NOT PRESENT. ive tryed cleaning all the connections, the HICAS ECU looks fine on the inside no leaking capacitors, ive cleaned all the earth points i can find, my steering wheel is stock, i was going to lock the HICAS but im still stuck with no power steering otherwise. If anyone has had this same error code and fixed there problem it would be a great help. In September last year i had an immobaliser put it thats the only bit of electrical work thats been done since the problem started im not sure if that helps at all?

Do you mean steering neutral position or gear box.

I had gear box neutral switch play up, tip of switch was slightly worn away causing error report, can't remember exactly what I did but I modified switch to allow it to fit/screw slightly further in to compansate for worn tip and presto fixed.

"Note" use anything petrolume base on wires, will turn wire insulation to mush with age. common problem with boats (trying to prevent rust)and to be avoided.

the odd spray hear and there may not hurt but continous/overspraying is proberly the mentioned cause.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
