[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?

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
