Hello everyone! Just got my first skyline (r32 gtst) and I am so happy about it. Got to admit I don't really know much about cars :Oops: and its internal workings though so a few questions regarding the car

1. Sometimes the HICAS light just come on/flickers on and off the seller said his mechanic say there's nothing wrong with the car but I just wanted to make sure whether I had turned on some button in the car or something. By the way, what is HICAS?

2. How many immobilisers are there in my car? Is there a procedure to check whether they exist in the car?

3. What do you use to keep the windscreen from misting up during cold nights or driving through fog?

4. Is there supposed to be an official skyline australia club that i can sign up for or something? Read of some people even having a membership card but I just couldn't find any information on this website.

Got a couple more questions in my head but just couldn't remember them. This will have to do for now. Thanks for any inputs!

Hey I see your from Sydney, so you can have a read here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=44115

as for the HICAS problem.. I think if you have an aftermarket steeringwheel fitted this can cause it ;)

edit

HIcas is - High Capacity Actively-Controled Steering ( i think lol)

1: do diagnostics (you will find in the diy/faq area

2: what alarm do you have ?

3: a combitation of windscreen wipers and dimister should solve it :P

4: Become a Registered NSW Mamber for club events (the link slim posted)

....By the way, what is HICAS?

HICAS is a 4 wheel steer controller, & the unit can be found in your boot. It normally comes into to play when you reach 80km/h.

How many immobilisers are there in my car? Is there a procedure to check whether they exist in the car?

It depends on your brand, good ones normally have at least 3point or more (eg. Viper, Cheetah). Search the net if you know which model/ brand, otherwise go to a car alarm specialist & ask.

This link is for membership to Skylines Australia (NSW).

And I would always use the aircon for demisting the windscreen. It's good to run your aircon once a week anyway. Keeps it running well.

If the powersteering fluid level is low it will cause the HICAS light to come on occasionally, as the rear steering feeds of the same reservoir as the front in R32's.

It also could just be a electrical connection problem...

Yeah it came with an aftermkt steering wheel, guess i'll have to trust the seller about what he syas then.

The alarm is a Rhino GTS. The website states that there's a 2 point engine immobiliser. Read somewhere else that insurance companies need at least a 3 point one if not a theft claim will not be valid? If thats the case I might need to change it pity though it was only installed in feb this yr.

Combo of wipers and demisters and the air con towards the windscreen way? Was thinking of any products that might prevent the window of misting up in the first place. Didn't really want to spit on my beloved skyline's windscreens the way divers spit on their face goggles before they go into the water. :spew:

Sending in the application form tomorrow! :wavey:

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
