[problem with my power steering and hicas]

i know this topic has been on here many times before but i dont know whether any of the feed back applies to me.

well anyway i bought my R32 GTS-t with an aftermarket steering wheel and the hicas light keeps goin on after like 2mins of driving. after a few months of having the car i had to replace the steering wheel due to the horn kept popping out.

i put on a standard r32 wheel and soon after my power steering partially stopped working (as in its hard but not like its not working at all). after i turn on the key and drive around for about 2mins the hicas light goes on and the power steering stops. i was told it was the power steering pump so iv'e replaced it and it still doesnt work. ive had it replaced 4 times now but it's still the same. i've also noticed once or twice that on some rainy days the power steering works fine.

since then i replaced the steering wheel again with a momo one and now the right indicator doesn't want to stay on when im turning.

i will be getting a wheel alignment soon (hopefully it will fix my hicas)

does anyone know what the power steering problem would be? the fluid is not low... would it be anything to do with the steering wheel? or hicas?

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
