Hi all,

Hoping someone can shed some light on my car.

just finished a 900km highway run and my car has a nasty swerve at 105-110km/h.

going from 105-115km/h my R34 25GTT has a nasty swerve left- probably 1/8 turn on the steering wheel. slowing down from 115-105km/h it swerves back the other way.

under a 100km/h my steering wheel sits straight, over 115km/h is cocked about 15 Deg off centre to the right.

the car feels like its crab walking.

I can stop and shut down the car- wait 30 secs and no issue- wait another 15-30 mins and it comes back.

do i assume its the HICAS playing up?

front end alignment is good.

struts are good.

Scared the shit out of me the first time it happened as it was in the wet.

Any info/advice would be great.

Cheers

Matt

I cant offer any advice on how to diagnose or fix your problem.

I can tell you what i've done and what a lot of people on here have done, which is to remove the hicas system and fit a hicas lock bar to the rear.

Problem solvered.

If your not sure what it is, have a google around or search here and you'll find it.

The only problem you will have after its fitted is you will get the hicas light on your dash lit up all the time. Half hour to pull out your cluster and remove the bulb behind it. Problem solvered again.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
