[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?

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
