Hey, thanks satanic, your thoughts are greatly appreciated. I will check it all out. Thanks Dave

Hey Jase, thanks mate. I will see if the splitfires make a difference and then look at changing the wheel speed sensor to see if it will solve the HICAS problem. I'll post a comment with the results. By the sounds of it there are a lot of people having the same problem. I'm no expert on cars, I just enjoy driving them lol. For others reading this, from what I have been told, the most common solutions for lights such as TCS, SLIP, HICAS and the engine light are to replace the coils with splitfires, check plugs are clean (perhaps upgrade), check the wheel speed sensor, check battery and fuses. You could get a coilpack load balance test or download the ECU information to show the errors too. Cheers Dave

Hey Scotty, thanks for the prompt reply. I will change to splitfire coils. I have been looking at getting a boost controller and will look into the air fuel controller too. I'm in WA, is there a website that has a list of workshop specialist that would know the car inside out? Any recommendations? Other people have brought up to: -Download ECU diagnostics to see errors and go from there -Change coils, sparkplugs (Inidium plugs?) and battery (which I need to do anyway) -Look into the speed sensor as it is a component of the HICAS and TCS -Look at if any of the sensors are playing up -Replace oil in engine, diff and gearbox and any filters -Check for any loose connections -Do a coil pack load balance test -Check the ignitor as it may be on its way out -Could be a blown fuse, faulty battery connections or aren't clean, corroded wire, could be alternator belt slipping, ensure the battery V is at least 12 or 13V -Tune the boost Any other ideas or which ones may help the most? Thanks Davey

I start my car and the HICAS light is always on no matter what. The other lights (TCS OFF, SLIP and Engine) come on about 5 minutes into driving and then stay on until I turn my car off. If I leave the car for a short period and then start it up again, it only takes another 5 minutes for the lights to come back on even if the car is just idling. I don't thrash the car at all so i'm pretty devo and confused as to what is going wrong. So far the next steps are to take the car in to a workshop and get them to look at the computer error diagnostics and go from there and to replace the coils with Splitfires as well as upgrade the spark plugs. Does anyone have any other ideas? If this has happened to you or someone you know and you found out how to fix it can you please let me know ASAP, it would be much appreciated. Kind Regards, Davey

Hey Scotty, I have the same problem - HICAS, TCS OFF, SLIP, Engine Light Symbol. So you recon replacing the coils with splitfires would solve the problem? It's electrical hey? What is "Profec B + SAFC Neo" Is that a whole new engine? I will wait to hear from you. Cheers Davey

I have the same problem. HICAS, TCS OFF, SLIP and Engine Light. Any help, does replacing the coils with splitfires work and solve the problem all together? Thanks Dave

Hi Everyone, I need your help, I have an r34 Skyline and some warning lights have come on the dash. They state HICAS, TCS OFF, SLIP and the Engine Light Symbol. How can I fix this problem? What is the reason behind it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Dave
