my hicas light comes on after almost exactly 20mins from start up

do not feel a noticeable difference either way, so was wondering if this means it is on or off?

was told after purchasing (as i hadnt d4riven it for 20mins on test drive), that this light comes on after the hicas has warmed up or something and when it comes on it means the hicas has been activated??

any light shed on subject appreciated.

am not having a good run with this car@all

Hey Dude,

Only had ma GTR for a week, so Im no expert, but the light isn't supposed to come on, who ever told you that is full of it. Check these forums, it can mean anything from low power steering fluid ( R32) to a dud sensor.

Start with the HICAS diagnostic mode ( again check forums )

( Mine came on for 400km last weekend when I hit a pot hole in a hick town between QLD and Tamworth, but has now disappeared )

Hope this helps

Aftermarket steering wheel

Fitted mine last night, thought hte yellow round thing with the H on it was for the horn lol so i removed it,,, its actually the HICAS sensor...it has to be the right way up, the sensor needs to be adjusted try taking the wheel off and adjusting it. Ill fix mine later...

The light comes on after about 10 20 minutes driving

Can you damage anything by having the light come on and doing nothing about it? My light also comes on but only if I'm on a long drive. I've been told that it's a sensor issue, but as I don't have any steering dramas when it comes on and rarely go on long drives I haven't bothered fixing it.

"Gonna get paaaaaaaaanched!"

well if you have an aftermarket steering wheel and its coming on, its almost definately that your sensor isnt lined up properly, however their is always that % of doubt that your HICAS is actually ****ed.

HICAS = High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension, a fancy way to say 4 wheel steering

high-performance system which steers the rear wheels in either phase (same direction) or counterphase (opposite direction) as needed (to a maximum of one degree) to enhance steering response and cornering power of the rear tires

If you dont have an aftermarket steering wheel and your light is coming on, get it checked out, and fixed if you need the 1 degree turning power in the rear wheels lol

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
