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..

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
