G'day all,

Just fitted a new steering wheel to my 33 and was driving to work today and the HICAS light came on :eek:

I have heard from some people that this sort of thing can happen when an aftermarket wheel is fitted.

Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this or if it is anything to worry about at all???

Cheers,

Zacos

Nismogirl,

The Boss kit I bought is HICAS compatible :P

'the light doesn't come on straight away....only after about 10Km.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what has gone wrong or If I just stuffed it (was very careful about putting it together)

any suggestions appreciated.

Zacos out

:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

We still have this problem. Do you notice that its when you are driving along a freeway... or somewhere where you aren't turning much? This is our problem and whenever we get on the freeway our hicas light comes on because the sensor in the steering wheel isn't making contact.

Or.. our first problem with our hicas came when the wire going from the back of the speedo to the computer wasn't connected. Also cutting out the abs, speed sensor and hicas.

The HICAS light only comes on when I am driving to work (along the freeway!!!!)

My only worry is that the alignment of the rear wheels may be affected when the light comes on, thereby trashing my rear tyres

:cool::P :P

Guess I will have to pull it apart and have a look!!

thanks for your help :P :P :P

later :burnout: :burnout:

What the???:eek: :eek:

I wouldn't have thought that the HICAS and the turbo timer where related in any way.

Does the HICAS light turn off before the car does???

Because with my timer, if any thing is switched on/off (headlights, indicators, car put into gear) the car shuts down.

who knows.....I don't know enough about the workings of the turbo timer to be able to give any sort of informed answer. :) :)

anyone else got any ideas???

Later

:burnout: :D

I turn the car on go for a drive no Hicas, then after a while of being on the road the Hicas light comes on! Then when I go to turn the car off it will run a little while on the turbo timer but not the desire time ie 3 or 5 mintues, during this period the Hicas light is flickering etc!

      Fuel pressure falls to zero at idle and stalls.

      If you've been mucking with vacuum lines, start there, and check you have your vac line on properly, and on a vacuum line that isn't flowing air, it's just a vacuum source.   When you measure your fuel pressure, are you measuring absolute fuel pressure, or gauge pressure compared to the inlet manifold?

      That last number you quoted is right about where I'm stuck, pretty spot on. Now let me share some of my Dyno results. Stock cams, stock fuel pump, stock MAFs, stock injectors, same exhaust and everything else oh yeah I forgot to add tomei FPR, intake cam advanced 2 notches, exhaust retarded 1 notch. Let's call this Dyno 01.

      @Murray_Calavera I forget but it's well within the duty cycle limits, my tuner is probably the only guy I trust locally to tune, definitely not the best but with his knowledge and experience, definitely the best here IMHO. He said it's the most he could get out of it on the last session (cam change) and increasing the boost wouldn't give much more gains. Yeah, definitely plan on upgrading to Link G4X or similar but I'd like to max out my setup first which I believe many have done so around 500hp.

      Yeah, so I think that is the point. If you presume a 25% lower reading on a chassis dyno than what the engine is making, then the most you would see from a 720HP engine is ~550wHP. "Lose" a little more because AWD dyno and the number will be lower. Call a hub dyno "wheel HP" and you should see higher numbers. But the horses would be a different size. And as Murray says above - an imposed 90% DC limit drops 550 down to 500 straight away. 80% takes you down to ~450.

      Sounds reasonable to me.  Do you know what your injector duty cycle is? I guess everyone has their own personal limit as to how high they want to flirt with 100% duty cycle, but who knows what your tuners limit is. Maybe they like to cap it at 80%? Now your injector CC to HP conversion has a 20% hair cut on it, then through drivetrain losses, yeah 500rwhp seems ok to me.  If you plan to spend on your GTR, modern injectors and a modern ECU will go a long way!
