Hey.

I need some information about a Hicas boss kit for an R32 GTS-T.

I have read through the forum and understand i need a Hicas boss kit, and that the code is something like 115, not the 110 model.

Howerever when my mate at autobarn called autotechnica to order one they said the 115 was for an 300zx, so now i am confused as to which product to order ??

If anyone has recently or in the past ordered a Hicas boss kit for thier 32, and had no troubles, can u please let me know where u ordered it form and what was the model code ?

Anyone with any information to help me out would be greatly apreciated .

Thanks

Mark.

the boss kit is the one on the steering column right? I'm pretty sure that autobarn should stock one for you - thats where i got mine from. Can't remember what brand it is, but i don't remember anything about there having to be a different kit for HICAS.

If its not for the steering column then plz disregard.

ok.

I got a boss kit, it is a hkb boss kit, it was ordered from autotechnica and the code 110. I asked autotechnica to make sure this was the correct boss kit and was a hicas boss kit and they assuered us it was, so i ordered it, took off the stock steering wheel, fitted the boss kit.

After driving for a while, youl never gues what hapened, YES the hicas light came on.

Now just wondering if this is because of thhe incorect boss kit, or could we have done something wrong during instalation such as accidently adjust the sensor ? if so dose anybody know what we can check and where it is.

ANd if it is the wrong kit, they will be hearing about it lol.

Thanks.

Probably an installation problem :D You need to make sure the wheel and boss are on perfectly straight otherwise HICAS thinks you a re driving in circles all the times and gives an error code.

Undo the wheel again, drive along about 20m in a straight line, then put the wheel back on. Should sort the problem.

Ok.

It was the wrong boss kit, which autotecnica constistanly claimed and still dose was the correct boss kit. it was an ON 110. This model was to be installed in the 2 and 8 oclock position, so when i installed this one the hicas sensor was moved.

I ordered a 115, which was to be instaleld in the 12 oclock 6 oclock position, Which is where the horn connection and hicas hole are on the stock wheel.

I have installed the new boss kit and now all is well, no hicas promblems (Crosses fingers).

And even after telling them about the stock wheel they sent out this kit but claimed it would be wrong.

So i hope this will help some ppl in the future as autotechnica didnt knwo what they were on about. Maybe it might fit some models of R32, but for a 1993 GTS-T with Hicas i needed the 115. If you thinkinhg of ordering a boss kit to save urself some hastle, take off the stck wheel and see what position the horn button and hicas hole are in.

On 110 - Installed at the 2 oclock 8 oclock posiiton.

On 115 - Installed at the 12 oclock 6 oclock position.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
