1) From the time I turn on the car, to the time I start the 5m drive, how many seconds do I have?

do it as fast as you can but make sure you are turning the wheel enough....if it doesnt work try turning the wheel a little more....

2) In step 5, do I hold the brake in slightly and heel-toe it foward, or tap it in and out?

tap it in and out

I've put my car into diagnostic mode many times however last week when i tried to put a friends car into it i couldnt so just keep trying!

i got aftermarket wheels, hicas light comes on after 10-15 mins of driving over 80km/h, on freeway etc. If i turn the car off, and then on again it goes away. I tried getting it into diagnostic mode a few times, but with no luck.

Skyline 4ws only opreates when you are travelling and not stationary unless you are in diagnostic mode!

And yet it does. Perhaps the light is coming on because of it being unable to determine the speed of the car, and for that reason the wheels move... Who knows until I can get this diagnostics mode working.

Anyway, I'm going on the dawn cruise to the gong tomorrow, so I might be able to get some info on it there...

Go on laugh at me but im only trying to help :]

Well I'm even less of an electrician. But they're stock wheels and I don't think there's anything special about the tyres - they're still the ones the compliancer dude put on. Aside from an after-market stereo, I believe the speed alert chime has been disabled (unless I go deaf past 110kph :D) but that seems all... Who knows. :D

I think I'll try and get a knowledgable guy / girl to try and get the diagnostics mode working... :

My Hicas light comes on every time after about 10km, turn car off and go again for 10 and on it comes. Rang the guy who sold it to me who checked with a mechanic mate etc etc. Turns out I have an aftermarket diff - locker apparently, and this is what happens when you mess with the original diff.

Hicas on the R33 is fully electric. Topping up the power steer fluid won't do anything for you.

I never had a problem with my hicas and I had aftermarket 17" wheels on. I can't see how that could possible make a difference anyway, but it certainly didn't in my case.

My car was a R33 GTST

I have this problem too..

My problem is that the contact in the steering wheel isn't making contact so the car cant sense that the hicas is there.. or something.

It only happens when I go on the freeway and drive for extended periods of time without turning the wheel too much.

It just resets the computer when you turn it off so the sensors are working again. It was going to cost me $300 to get the part and more for the install. But I'm not too worried. It's not harming the car in anyway.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
