Looking at the hicas dash light is getting old and I don't want to have to explain the process at rego inspections .

I searched and found this thread which reckons you go to the Hicas computer (R33 GTS25T) under the rear parcel shelf and cut the Green wire with the White trace .

Has anyone tried this here and found it works . If so it has to be easier than stuffing around under the dash to get rid of the light .

Thanks in advance , cheers Adrian .

But if you pull the dash light out, It won't tell you if there aren't any other faults with the power steering. eg if the reservoir is low on fluid the light will come on.

Open the bonnet and check it?

Kidding right?

The light is already on due to HICAS removal... is the light going to change colour or get brighter when a fault happens else where?

Tomei Hicas lock kit is another consideration, will also allow you to return to stock fairly easily should you require.

I'm just getting into Skylines and picked up an R33 GTSt for a great price off my brother as it has HICAS issues. I have bought the TOMEI kit but am wondering if it works as a "quick-fix" or is it only useful if your HICAS was functioning correctly?

Afaik only really useful if your Hicas is working.

Save ur money and buy a drift works hicas eliminator kit from cartel online. It will eliminate all ur hicas problems and I'll reduce the weight of ur car

From what I have read this won't pass a roadworthy inspection though?

haha, Bit hard to 'save money' when I have already bought the TOMEI Eliminator. Ah well, will give it a go, since I've already bought it, and if it fails, will have to try the Driftworks kit. However, will this still result in having the HICAS light on? and perhaps power-steering issues? Perhaps combined with the electronic part of the TOMEI kit this could work (Or at least use the TOMEI just to get through the roadworthy then use the Driftworks kit)?

Not really worried about saving weight anyway.

Found this on another forum, describes HICAS problems that were solved with TOMEI Lock kit, so at least it is a little bit promising.

But then again other people in that forum just recommend the Driftworks kit... Damn advanced technology in older cars, but can you do hey? Will get it sorted one way or the other.

my hicas used to do weird things to me as well once I hit 80 km/h. the steering wheel would turn a good 40 degrees just to keep the car straight. I was pretty much crab walking down the highway. for a while I kept checking everything out and still hadn't found a solution. eventually I just installed a Tomei hicas lock kit and was done with it.

my advice would be to lock up the hicas and not spend hours trying to find out what the problem is.

Might just get the ECUTALK Consult/USB cable and figure out what is causing the trouble if I have too.

to answer your question this works a treat. have done it on several of my cars including r32's :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
