I reckon the easiest way is to pop the pin from the relevant wire out of the plug and elec tape it to the loom . It doesn't take much longer and is reversible , not that you'd want to but why butcher something if doing it this way is so easy ?

A .

It's actually a little harder :)

I started with a small screw driver than just gave up so side cutters and headshrinks came out

Hey guys i just removed my hicas n put in the lockout bar and the HICAS light was on, so i cut that green wire and now i got no power steering?? has anyone else had this problem?? Oh and it come out of a r34 gtt...

you sure you cut the right pin? please use the schematic I posted on the first page

Sorry for the bump

Ive just removed the entire hicas system in my track car.

I didn't realize that power steering could be an issue.

Ive removef the entire hicas system including ecu and all the wiring back up the car.

Am I going to have issues???

The power steer resivour dipstick has a magnetic reed switch in it,

the float on dipstick has the magnet, and reed switch is inside the dipstick.

Reed switch inside the dipstick can fail, I repaired mine a few yrs back.

If your switch has failed. the switch has a inline plug, unplug it, if light goes out then you have found the problem,

the switch is faulty

Jaycar had a new reed switch for $2 I pulled the wires with gromet intact out of dipstick paying close attention to correct height. took a solder iron to it and replaced reed.

easy and cheap fix.

solution = light went out.

cheers

Guys, just a little addition for those wanting to remove the pin from the loom plug rather than cutting the wire.

After about 15 mins trying to push the pin out, noticed there was this grey cover on the plug. If you lift that up you can get to the latch which holds the pin in. I just used a tiny flat head screwdriver to lift up the latch thingy while pulling on the wire. This was on a Series 1 R33 Gtst, but hopefully is much the same for others.

Thanks Johnny for this wiring tip. Got it sorted today after lock bar install, and no more HICAS warning ;)

I just got all the hicas pulled out of my car,R32 gtr 1990 model and the mechanic said pull the globe out.Was checking out this post thats says pin 15 but my workshop manual says pin20 feeds the warning light,so maybe R32s are different???Anyone else here done it to this model?

Where in the boot is the hicas Ecu on an r34?

I believe if you open the boot, squat down, and look directly in.. You should see it.

It may be covered by a panel of felt/boot material, but yeah.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
