Howdy lads,

need some advice, I have a 94 R32 GTR and the HICAS lights keep coming on. Its seems to be coming on once I get up to speed and not when travelling slowly as should this system in normal operation. We have checked all the fluids etc in the 4ws etc and it only happened after my mate gave it a bit of a kaning the other day befoer that no problems. Any advice on what to check or how if there is any way to reset the system.

thanksMB ;)

My R32 Gtst does the same thing, I've checked the fluid level and everything, but once i get up over about 120-150kph, the hicas light comes on.  I'm not really sure what is causing it, and from the looks of things, it's just annoying, and not affecting anything.

Of course you do that speed on private roads wink wink. But yeah, you tried running the HICAS diagnostics yet?

I have a 32 gtr and the hicas light always comes on after about 10 mins of driving. Previously had a 31 gtst and the same thing happened. Apparently it is a very common fault. Tried numerous fault finding techniques over the years to fix, without success. Now I just live with it!

Mine was comin on every now and then.. Had my car data streamed and it turned out to be a power issue with my hicas module. The data stream is not expensive either 100bucks and I also got my ecu reset (yes a real reset not some dodgy disconnect battery thing). Also got other little things that was picked up by the data stream fixed.

I am not sure if the ECU reset has cause any changes, but car seemed to be more responsive now.. :cheers:

Oh this is for an R34 GTT. Would say the data streamin well worth the 100bucks to find out what faults there are with the car and also the ECU reset. :cheers:

My hicas light tends to come on sometimes after high speed or going over bumps. I have an aftermarket steering wheel fitted. Once i turn the car on and off it dissapears though. Apparently aftermarket wheels can do something to the hicas sensor or you might have a faulty hicas sensor. My car seems to drive fine even after the light has came on so i dont worry about it; however i've read in a past post about someone nailing it on the freeway and the hicas light came on and the car started changing lanes by itself at 160+kph.....I guess you could always get a hicas lock.....**** hicas.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
