This probably seems like a stupid question but I don't know much about cars :huh:

My hicas light has been coming on constantly so I'm guessing it is the power steering fluid after doing a search on here. My problem is I have no idea where this is located. I took a picture of what I think is where I check so can someone please confirm if this is right or if not where abouts it is?

Yeah it was really low, as in it didn't even reach the markings let alone the H, no idea why it was that low though.

The light didn't come on at all today but I filled it up anyway. I will check it out on the weekend to see if it has gotten low again.

Apparently the rubber pipe near the rack is a common leak-point.

Mine is oily, but not dripping. On the R33's, it's the two metal pipes on the drivers side, down into the rack. Those pipes have rubber pipes and clamps, which don't seem to hold too well.

Might want to check yours?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
