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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
