I get that and I find it very annoying. I have been meaning to check out what it is and take it off my car. I don't have HICAS anymore so I am happy to hear that it won't break anything else. Do you know where the relay is located?

AFAIK, it's supposed to happen. It's to keep the hydraulic pressure up to the HICAS unit.

If this is supposed to happen then is it normal to get a slight power drain ?

I notice it at night in idol , the headlights and dash lights flicker in time with the relay's and when the turbo timer is in countdown once the car is turned off at night the HICAS light can be seen clearly flashing in time with the relay's.

no it doesn't do that in most 32 GTRs i've driven/been in. it primes the pump when you turn the key to on, but no flickering light or clicking relay every 7 second.

Do you have any sugestions as to what it could be ? Im from Darwin NT and there are only 5 GTR's here 3 of them are 32's and no one has any experiance on electrics for this type of car.

I don't know why it does it. Mine has always done it and it has always annoyed me. Out of interest my car still does it despite the fact that I have taken out the HICAS unit, the soleniod in the middle of the car and the unit in the engine bay under the oil filter. I will be looking for this thing under my boot latch next time I get a chance - hopefully it will be gone after that - I will report back when it's done!

my 32 gtr does this also. when the attesa is off the click from the soliniod goes away. I have been under my car and it seems that the attesa pump on top of the diff is priming approx every 7 seconds when the click sounds. has anyone been able to cure this issue because with my a/c on when the light flicks while im driving i can feel it thru the steering wheel

same with my R32 GTR. The clicking relay is on the left side of the boot, rear wall, hidden behind the trim. IIRC correctly it's the leftmost one of the pair sitting there.

I wonder if it's simply electrical, or if a proper bleed of the ATTESA system will cure it?

has anyone fixed this? Because I am getting the same issue with the HICAS light flicking on and especially on the freeway after about 80kph the steering wheel moves on a weird angle..

also when the HICAS light flicks on it often causes my headunit to briefly turn off and on at the sametime..

Yes mine does exactly the same thing however i have a r32 gtst plus mine has a slight miss thats in time with the flicker as well WTF!!!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
