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.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
