Bugger - new boss kit fitted but still light comes on and the odd unexpected steering input.

Old "dog chewed" steering wheel is going back on for comparo. testing this weekend.

Re: the Mines computer - well it was an unexpected find that I came across when fitting a new stereo.

I know for sure that it has removed speed cut, probably boost cut and rev limit increased also.

The fuel map is probably altered as it runs pretty rich (puff on black smoke on full throttle - flames from zaust on quick throttle off!).

Have a PFC on the way over from Japan and will compare before dyno readings before and after.

I have an even stranger hicas problem.

Sometimes when driving and I come to a stop (like at the lights or in a traffic jam), then press the accelerator, I lose power steering for quarter of a second and the hicas light flashes quickly.

This ussualy only happens in the rain, or just after it rains.

I know there is a tiny leak in my boot, but I don't think it is letting water under the parcel shelf.

Greg.

When I started my R32 after a week it seemed to crank against some extra load.When it started there was a loud belt scream and the hicas light was on. After about 30 seconds the noise stopped and light went out. Maybe power steer pump was siezed or perhaps a valve or something was stuck in that complicated looking hydraulic gear near the rhs chassis rail. Any ideas?

I've got a R31 GTS-R and it has HICAS too.

What OIL is recommended ?

Is there a specific Brand to put in there... ?

My light flashes on and off as i go over bumps so that's just a case of a little low on the oil ?

Thanks.

Greg , unless you have a water leak in the middle of the rear parcel tray , then the puter will be fine.

As I said before , when the problem occurs , dive under the said rear tray and check the code flashes on the bottom or side of the box. Should be a little opening somewhere with a red LED.

Get the number and I will check the manual.

There is something like 20 or 30 different things it could be , so getting the code is going to narrow it down.

Cheers

Ken

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • 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.
