I took my car in for roadworthy inspection, and they said "Oil Leak at Turbo". So I popped I got it up on the stands, popped my head under and found the bottom of the front turbo housing covered with oil. I know nothing of turbos or Skylines in general so how bad is it? The car drives fine, turbo appears to be working fine. Image too big to post so here it is; http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/187vsh5hbwx3ujpg/original.jpg

Same issue here. Just wondering where you sourced the HICAS ecu from?

Found this on another forum, describes HICAS problems that were solved with TOMEI Lock kit, so at least it is a little bit promising. But then again other people in that forum just recommend the Driftworks kit... Damn advanced technology in older cars, but can you do hey? Will get it sorted one way or the other. 03-10-2010, 02:14 PM my hicas used to do weird things to me as well once I hit 80 km/h. the steering wheel would turn a good 40 degrees just to keep the car straight. I was pretty much crab walking down the highway. for a while I kept checking everything out and still hadn't found a solution. eventually I just installed a Tomei hicas lock kit and was done with it. my advice would be to lock up the hicas and not spend hours trying to find out what the problem is. http://www.gtrpwr.co....php/t-921.html Might just get the ECUTALK Consult/USB cable and figure out what is causing the trouble if I have too.

From what I have read this won't pass a roadworthy inspection though? haha, Bit hard to 'save money' when I have already bought the TOMEI Eliminator. Ah well, will give it a go, since I've already bought it, and if it fails, will have to try the Driftworks kit. However, will this still result in having the HICAS light on? and perhaps power-steering issues? Perhaps combined with the electronic part of the TOMEI kit this could work (Or at least use the TOMEI just to get through the roadworthy then use the Driftworks kit)? Not really worried about saving weight anyway.

I'm just getting into Skylines and picked up an R33 GTSt for a great price off my brother as it has HICAS issues. I have bought the TOMEI kit but am wondering if it works as a "quick-fix" or is it only useful if your HICAS was functioning correctly?
