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 GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
