Hi everyone,

I bought my s1 R33 rb25det skyline last week with HICAS issues, the light was comming on and off, but two days ago it came on and has not gone off. I've been over many forums trying to figure out whats gone wrong but there seems to be so many. Ive been through my fuses nothing popped or broken, my power steering belt is fine, the fluid is full and the pump should still be working. It is fitted with a after market steering wheel and im not to sure how to tell if its correct or not.

The car was driving like a dream till this happen and its kind of a shame to drive it how she is now. i read about tomei hicas lock that i can wire into the HICAS ECU.. if i buy that isgoing it to be a sure fix?

Thanks in advance.

Dylan

Does the HICAS light come on as soon as you start the car, or after you drive it for a while (like 5 mins)

There is a HICAS diagnostic test you can do, which will tell you how to find out what the problem is. Search the forum to find out the steps required to do the test, then post the results.

Also make sure there is definitely power to the HICAS ECU.

I think if the light is coming on straight away, it may not be the stearing wheel, as I think you have to drive the car for 5 minutes and over 80km/h for the steering wheel sensor to initiate the HICAS light (but I could be wrong)

1.fit lock bar (you can get em anywhere) 2,get a decent four wheel allignment 3.remove globe from dash

but if you really want to keep HICAS do a diagnostic test and if that doesnt seem to work toddle off to a reputable workshop and get them to sort it out

the last thing you want is that damned unit kicking in at the wrong time

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
