Hi guys..

2 days ago while i was driving around i felt my stering whel started to get hardened up on me and i also noticed that the hicas lite came on at around 60kmph and flashing... i also found out that my Speddo and ODO meter are not working either :) This morning i try to start the car and it dint.. i've got a RSM and it was showing between 9.6 and 10.1 Volts. So i took it to my mechanic and tthey replaced the Alternator . but my steering wheel is stil get hard after 3-5 mins of driving and HICAS light turns on with it..

The mechanic checked the wire to the gearbox for the odo and speedo .. abd they were fine and he said it might be my Dash. ???!?!!

I have got a after marker Steering wheel and Boskit so i have disconnected the HICAS module (3 years ago)

I was wondering if any of you guys had this problem. and iwould like to now the solution if there is any..

Cheers Guys.

Theevil, i do have a Blitz Supersonic BOV , but wat does it have to do with the power steer and ODO problem??

GTTR34 - Yeah everything else is working properly. and i also check all the fuses but they wer all OK. by the way my mech said that this model dash is a mechanical speddo and odometer dash. I called ADVAN in Sydney and Mr. "RipOff" Peter Hopkin said for the cable he charges me $180 + $90p/h Labor :P

Anyways.. thats news so far.

Thanks guys.. for ur attention to this thread.

try looking at these thread

i think the reason why your car does cut off when driving is because your BOV is atmospheric and does not 'plumb back'. Skylines have sensitive air flow meters

What do I know? SFA but I do know the hicas is linked to the speed of your vehicle and that when hicas cuts out so does power steering as mine does when it gets wet:rant: I solved this by spraying lanosol on the connectors and it stopped but dont think this is your problem. It sounds like a speedo/wiring sort of thing but I know SFA.

ok thank u guy.. i think i might get the Speddo Cable fixed first then ill see if its ganna fix the hicas problem by doing this so.

Cheers again guys...  :D

Fixing the speedo cables should take care of the HICAS and power steering weight issue, have a look at my post in this thread:

MRPREZ,

Hey dude, I've got the same problem as you. Sometimes at night, when i turn on some music, and then i turn on the heater, HICAS comes on AND the Steering wheel hardens up too. However, I changed the battery and everything is all sugar.. So try that out..

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
