Good afternoon SAU,

I was driving to the shops this morning and the following happened -

  • The HICAS light came on and off (sort of flickering)
  • All tachos were bouncing when the above occurred
  • There was no power steering when I entered into 1 of the turns
  • The car stalled twice (once when entering a round-a-bout and when entering the car park)

However, the above did not occur permanently but was on and off. I managed to get home and performed the following -

  • I disconnected the leads from the battery and re-plugged it to try and reset the ECU.
  • I tried to perform a HICAS Diagnostic as per the link below but didn't quite understand it:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/22193-hicas-diagnostic/

After doing all this, I took the car for a 2 minute drive and everything felt normal.

I'm still a bit worried though as it is quite dangerous driving a car that could stall any time.

I've been speaking with 'johnnilicte' (from this forum) who believes it is an electrical issue.

I was planning to take my car to the mechanic today but he was extremely busy.

Just wondering if anyone on the forum has encountered such issues before OR may roughly know what the issue may be.

Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Lewis

Yeah thats not purely hicas related. To many odd things happening at once. HICAS will not make the car stall. Sounds like a bad earth to me

So far so good after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery leads (touch wood)...

That's not a very technical solution...

I would actually clean the battery terminals and earth points points rather than hope for the best.

Thanks mate. I'll have a look into it next weekend when I've got some free time.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
