Hey fellow Stagea owners,

For some time now I have noticed my hicas light illuminated on my dash cluster, It's starting to frustrate me a bit whilst cornering fairly hard with a bit of spirited drive i notice the back end seems to skip/jump over the road. Is anyone else familiar with this issue, The back end seems to sway from side to side when going over certain bumps over the road at higher speeds from time to time also.

I believe there is a diagnostic mode for the hicas, recently have also had a wheel alignment and 4 new tyres put onto the car but the light was previously illuminated even before the new tyres and alignment.

Looking forward to your responses, Best regards Chris.

jack your car up and check under your rear diff, there is a metal case there, undo the 2 or 3 bolts, then you will see your hicas setup under there.

check if your plug is connected.

i bottomed out my ass on my stag and i broke the plug. never noticed that the metal cover had a ding in it, but i broke the plug off.

then the hicas light came on and my ass was all over the road.

so check the plug first

From time to time is decides to work for a bit but as soon as i start driving it spirited the light illuminates and as you said the ass end is all over the place, Not a safe feeling...

Will check tomorrow about the plug could be a loose connection or something

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
