Mine too, i'm not sure. I will try and sort it out this weekend.

I don't have the power steering hooked up at the minute, although may it just be the fuse or I can be far from it I onlt just drove my 32 for the first time the other day and have barley looked at it.

If he has a HICAS lock bar then that is the reason why the light is still on. You've removed the HICAS Rack from the car and it's telling you that there is a problem. Just pull the globe out of the back of the dash and you'll be fine

If he doesn't have the HICAS lock bar in and is still running the factory HICAS Rack in the car then he should take it to Nissan and get them to check it on the Consult to see what the problem is

There are so many reasons why the HICAS light can come on, and it can be a real pain to get rid of. Some really strange things have been known to set it off. Try simple solutions like topping up fluids, checking fuses etc. When my light came on, I just topped up the fluid reservoir (which wasnt THAT low) and it went off again.

my advice to u is, take it to an auto-electrician, preferably to nissan themself, but b4 you do that chek the fuse, if the fuse is blown then u cant do anything else urself coz thers about 20 components and about 50 wires u have to chek with a multi-metre yourself before you find the faulty component, i know from experience as this happend to my Honda Prelude Si 4WS, i spent about a day trying to find the faulty component, failed miserably, took it to honda and the guy found it in less than ten minutes, it was a wire that had been cut sumhow, so ye take it to nissan or sum other auto electrician

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
