Yeh so anyway, after driving about 30 seconds - 5 minutes my steering goes heavy then some minutes later HICAS light comes on. I think its fuel related (not the actual fuel but something near the tank perhaps) as it happens randomly and if it fixes itself temporarily its when i refuel to like half a tank. It was also temporarily fixed when i installed a new pump. Any way im assuming there won't be many suggestions so i was just wondering if any 1 can help me access the HICAS diag on a 32 gts-t

The guide i read said turn the wheel about 40degree to left and right 5 times (so left 5 times right 5 times? or 5 in total?) then tap the brake 5 times and then tap it once more (umm.. So i tap it 5 times, leave it a sec then tap again or do i just tap it 6 times) then move forward for 10 meters at a pace under 5km/h

Any way so any help would be cool, thx

um... not sure. But if you have an aftermarket steering wheel without the steering angle sensor, then that could explain why you can't enter diagnostic mode. It would also explain the light coming on, but not the heavy steering.

yeh, it has the aftermarket wheel kit and stuff. Sucks that you cant enter HICAS diagnostic from a easier technique. I mean honestly -_- turn steering wheel left and right 5 times, tap the brakes, drive forward slowly? Sounds like Something out of a Fairy tale, Zzz. Guessing ill have to just splurge and buy one of those $150 locking bars/kits and get rid of hicas forever. Hope they dont cost much to install

Thx

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
