Hicas Light Kills Tachometer

Hi Guys,

Had a weird issue with my R34 GT-T today and wondered if anyone had seen this before.

Usually my engine light is on because my speed sensor is reporting an error (everything working fine though), but today my HICAS light started coming on and when it comes on my Tachometer seems to turn off!

The light comes on and off randomly, can be stationary at idle, or at speed, doesnt matter, but every time it comes on the Tacho drops to zero... then bounces back up when the light goes off. I also had the TCS OFF light and SLIP light on at one stage too, but they seem to have sorted themselves out after turning the car off for a bit. Took it for a spin after it cooled down and the TCS/SLIP were off but the HICAS/tacho issue still remains.

The car is driving absolutely fine with no performance or handling issue what so ever.

Would love to know if anyone has seen this before or has any advice. I'm currently searching for a replacement speed sensor for a R34 GT-T manual to fix the engine light too, Nissan want to sting me $300+... ouch!

Cheers,

Anthony.

dude dont send it to a workshop. all they do is exactly what any other backyard hobo does: "hmmm i wonder if this is the problem? *snap* nope. ill put it back... hmm i wonder if THIS is the problem..." etc.

i was a mechanic

removing a dash isnt bad. all you gotta do is lift out the display and look for a manky wire and put a piece of tape on it

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
