hi all, ive been lerking around for a while now.

now i know what your all going to say, but to be honest no care is given,

now my r32 gtr had a hicas lock out bar fitted at the start of the year, car has sat around last 5 months in pieces got it all back together now, though im still having the same problem, the hicas light in the cluster flashes, theres no pattern the flashing just does it all the god damn time, and whilst its flashing and the car is stationary,ie, at traffic lights, you can hear a knock from underneath the car, and if you turn the wheel slightly it wil move the steeing wheel back and fowards, and you cant stop it, its only a slight bit, but still a pain.

also whilst it flashes its lioke theres no power steering, now ive researched the forums but havnt come accross someone with similar story regarding the knock and flashin, i did find on goolge though, that to remove hicas correctly you should remove rear line,front n rear hicas solinois, and cut in to power steering lines and fit new hoses redirecting the lines to stay up the front of the car, although the such topic, was performed on a r32 gtst, now having a gtr there is no where near the same amount of room in the bay to access solinoids, lines etc, somebody please help fix this god damn problem,

thanks in advanced. and no need for know it all smart ass's. cheers guys

Take apart the HICAS computer and look for the loose screw.

Seriously, it was an official service bulletin that was in the Australian R32 GTR service manual.

So that's what the rattling was in the computer I threw away.

OP, quickest fix is to unplug the smaller of the two plugs on the HICAS computer.

I have done the mod u described in my 32R, pretty much same thing, ditched front and rear solenoids and associated pipes, de-pinned the green wire from smaller of the Hicas plug that trigger the cluster light

Sorry to hear bout ur issues, have u isolated what's knocking., u welcome to try my Hicas ecu though I'm near parra

sorry for delayed reply, havnt been on in a while. i have nothing to update, as im going to get a small cooler and ditch the orginal cooling lines,solenoids and unused lines, and ill have to check the ecu to see if anything has been done, i would assume though that it should be done as i had lockout bar fitted from a well known workshop whilst getting other work done at the time,

thanks mate, ill see how it all goes once ive completed everything. and yes it has an aftermarket s/wheel was already fitted before i purchased the car.

i just wanted to see if anyone had experienced the same problem

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
