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

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
