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...

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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
