here is a couple of pics that you can sort out to show us how to do the HICAS removal is done/fitted,

cheers garry.

(p.s sorry for the 2mb of pics (for the people on dial-up) i'm drunk and cbf shrinkin the pics, l8r.)

just so i understand you will then have two feeds going into the cooler? (ie the stock one, plus the feed from the rear pump?).

From yet ANOTHER HICAS thread.................

I have marked up the HICAS schematic;

The Blue dot is the power steering cooler

The Red dots should be joined together, this bypasses the HICAS solenoids completely.

HICAS_Schematic_Bypass1.jpg

No cutting of pipes required, around those locations you will find the steel pipework has clamped rubber hose sections, just remove the (short) hoses and substitute them with the new (longer) piece of joining hose. If you are not removing the rest of the HICAs system, then block off the (no longer used) hoses to keep the crap out. There will be power steeing fluid trapped in the hoses, so make sure the capping is liquid proof.

:( cheers :D

OK.....

i have a picture of the HICAS solenoid i hope the picture can make sense for me and all the other HICAS frenzie removalist out there..

after you join them you can freely remove the whole HICAS system?? (aslong as you have a lock bar of course)

what do you think Sydneykid?

Join the hoses you marked in red and the rear stage of the pump will just feed throught the cooler.

The rest of the hicas system can be removed.

If you remove the ECU the dash light will stay off too.

It wont be high pressure after you remove the hicas solenoid though, just more flow.

sweet thanxs champ,

where will i find the HICAS ECU?

If you remove the HICAS ECU, do you lose the speed sensitive power steering? Cause when the speed sensor wire to my HICAS ECU was cut my steering was in heavy mode all the time.

HICAS ECU is under the parcel shelf in the boot. Steering at very low speed was heavy with the lock bar installed and the ECU still connected. Remove ECU and steering still heavy at < 20kmh but dash light goes out.

As noted in the many pages of my tutorial, extra castor will make the low speed heaviness almost impossible to detect and improve turn in response.

Hmmm so...even with fitment of the lock bars and the HICAS Pump hoses re-rooted etc everyone who does this mod still has the heavy steering all the time ?

I had an 'off' at a racetrack a few months back, since then my HICAS light has been on and steering has gone heavy 24/7. I would really like to get rid of the heavy steering and thought the Lock bar etc would be the go, but not if it dont fix the heavy steering :woot: ......

Who said all the time? See my post. Steering is only heavy(er) < 20kmh. All other times its no different. Event with it heavy(er), I dont care as it only marginally heavier anyway.

If you have heavy steering 24/7, best be getting that checked out, cant see a lock bar and re-route fixing anything there.

ok one more time for the dummies, i'm guessing those pics were from a gts-t

basically for a 32 gtr, if you connect the high pressure hose join points directly under the sway bar on the drivers side with low pressure hose all will be good, also joining the new hose to the in and out points of where the steering rack used to be is good also

just making sure

They are from a R32 RB20DET GTS-4, But i have been informed that the GTS-t, GTS-4 & GTR have all the same HICAS setup :D.

R33, R34 Are diffrent because they are electronic. :P

Not all R32 hydraulic systems are the same.

GTS-T has a shared resivour system. GTS-4 and GTR have a remote resovior system.

Please delete this post, its is WRONG and people will read it and believe it.

The power steering (inc HICAS) reservoir is in the engine bay, on the LHS inner guard just behind the airbox.

The ATTESA reservoir is located in the boot, in the RHS inner guard.

They are in no way joined, shared or common. R32GTST, R32GTS4 and R32GTR power steering systems (inc HICAS) are the same.

:P cheers :D

OK guys people are asking about the heavy stearing when the hicus and hicus ec is removed.

Does anyone know what causes the steering to be heavier etc?

Wouldn't this be as simple as finding the corect wire (hicus ecu loom) and roughting it to 12v or ground or what ever it requires to run the steering lighter?

Surely this prob can be rectified?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
