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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
