I know there's 8000 hicas threads but i think it's worthwhile to post a question on here rather than scour the abundance of info straight away. My hicas light on my dash has quickly flashed once on two separate driving occasions. I have no irregular steering symptoms but I have noticed both times it happened just after taking off (normal driving) and slight steering movements. The car was serviced on monday I figure it might be a bit of air in the system or something. Anyone got any ideas?

Hicas is not locked or bypassed all standard in that department. Will be happening soon though..

R32 HICAS and power steering is my arch enemy.

I've actually looked into get the whole lot turfed and having manual steering (DIY's online how to convert the stock rack to non-power assisted - though I'd get a workshop to do it). I'll let another workshop take a look at it before I go that extreme though.

I wouldn't mind manual steering. I love the feedback you get at speed.

Then I remember I occasionally daily the 200 with stupid sticky tyres on the front and realise it'd be a shit idea.

Even easier to use a paint scrapper, has a longer blade and has a handle as well.

OK..i have a big ugly caryard sticker on my rear windscreen its the chippy reflective vinal stuff :sick: .

I would like to remove it , im asking suggestions before i attempt this as i know it will get messy.

I was thinking of using Bug & Tar remover (worked wonders on the debadge.)

My power steering hasn't worked for probably 10 months, I'm used to it haha.

where to get cf film? :D

I can get it at cost and in a bunch of grades, colours, or metal look

thinking of a group buy in the future if interest is high enough

you can do a real carbon wrap on your existing blade too, the one you posted is a real carbon blade or covered in real carbon

the new carbon wrap can be purchased with clear coat already on it. , so matte or slightly shiny or wet look is available

the sinergy sticker you speak of ..lol is best removed with 3M or similar wax and grease remover soaked on a rag, do not use a razor except to pick up a corner to lift, they will scratch you glass.

just wet the rag and smear it on the edges lay the rag on the parts you want off and let it sit for a min then remove. wash afterwards with water.

not fatal to paintwork it will remove wax...lol and won't melt rubber. unless left on it for a while .

its a must have for any garage, it works on everything..lol

This trend of cf sticky concerns me. Luckily it doesnt look like the real thing.

I like the small CF sticky accents I've put on my R34. I don't think it's been overdone - just subtle (b-pillars & bottom of rear bar)

Mind you, I did this nearly 2 years ago now. Seems to be becoming more common of late, and 'too much'

there is some that looks real, I can show you real next to fake in a photo and you would be hard pressed to see the difference.

there is another option , Hydroprinting, that I was looking into. you can't tell the difference at all. I have vents done in that so you could see all three

real, hydro, wrapped side by side

I can get the seat material that is carbon weave in various colours as well, the good stuff , rated for salt water , UV rated, and burn tested for use on boats.

don't forget to wrap small parts you also need adhesion promoter, or it won't stay on in the heat, or on corners.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
