Alan,  Ive got the car at ICE at the moment getting them to look at it and see what they think.  I'll post back here with results.  Maybee it will help you.

Thanks mate. I'll keep wathching. When I first bought my car the hicas light was on and they said they would fix it. Well now I know how they fixxed it.

YO880: Your thread was very handy to me. I removed the GRID for a month, but my problems still occured. I wired it back in myself and soldered all the connections in. It's definately in correctly. Yeah 50/50 is dodgey - The problems started when I set it to 50/50.

Alan: I'll post later today when I ring ICE.

Any news Chris?

Ok, Seems that some of my problems are caused by my tire sizes. I knew that the tyres had to be the same size front and rear, but my importer assured me that this was ok with the rim and tyre combination he sold me. (Bastard)

ICE put same profile tyres on front and back which has stopped my movement in the rear when I take corners hard. The HICAS light is still on, so they are inverstigating furthur.

My AIR BAG light and ABS light haven't come on for about two weeks after I found a dodgey earth in the engine bay. Thanks heaps to who ever posted that Idea.

Will post more when ICE get back to me.

Sorta, Managed to stop the rear end moving around, with different rim / tyre combo. But still dunno why HICAS light is always on. I'm contacting other service people to see if anyone has the electronic device that plugs into the comupter and tells you exactly whats wrong with your baby. I have the car back from ICE now thou. They had too much work on to look furthur into it.

Will keep you in mind when I solve this problem.... if ever....

Update. If anyone ever gets the Airbag and ABS lights coming on and their battery is slowly looking chage and releasing acid into the air giving a choking smell from the boot. You might just have the same prblem as I did.

Hook up a volt meter to your battery and you will see that the battery is being overcharged when these lights come on. Hence you have a faulty voltage regulator and need to get your altinator reconditioned. Mine cost $200 for fully reco.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
