I was driving on my way to work this morning and the HICAS light came on, after looking around on some forums it seems that there are a few things that cause it to come on but, none of the seem to apply to me. The light doesn't come on after a certain amount of time, but when it comes on it stays on until I turn the car off, then it's fine again.

I have the standard sterring wheel, haven't check the fluid level but i'll do that when I get home tonight and post if that was it.

I've run the diagnostics on the car several times and no codes. I'm assuming it's either a sensor fault or wiring fault. Where are the sensors because I got my auto elec looking at it friday and i'd like to try and fix this.

Background info: when I bought the car all 4 speakers were blown, the tacho had a dry joint and it looks like all the guages, execpt the speedo and boost guage were reading 1/4 to 1/2 over what they actucally were. My auto elec thinks it's a fault voltage regulator behind the dash, would this cause the HICAS problem???

Any other thoughts on what could cause it??

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
