Hi all,

A friend of mine has an R33 GTS ( RB25DE ) in which the HICAS light started coming on every now and then. I used info from an old posting I found here and performed the diagnostic procedure ( cool thing to see ! ).

Anyway, the HICAS light flashed in the following sequence but I have no idea what it means.

10 short flashes, 5 second gap, 2 long flashes and then 2 short flashes.

ALSO........ When my friend went to drive home that night, there were no illumination dash lights ( warning lights worked ) and the rear ( possibly front also ) parking lights were out. Found the 10 AMP fuse and replaced it but it blew on installation and then again after that.

I can only assume that these two events are related because all lights were fine before the HICAS test was carried out.

If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated as I'm stumped !!!!!!

OK. Forget about the fuse blowing / lights problem ( figured that one out ).

But can someone PLEASE tell me what results of the hicas test mean.

Hicas light flashes: 10 short flashes, 5 second gap, 2 long flashes and then 2 short flashes.

Anyone ?????????

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
