Hicas Problem: Steering Angle Sensor

Hi,

I've been having an issue with my hicas in my R33, where the hicas light stays on after I've been driving for 5kms at high speed (motorway speeds).

I've taken it to a mechanic where they connected up a consult and found the error to be "steering angle sensor - not present". (I didnt get them to fix it cos they were too busy that day, and i need my car for work)

So I decided to take it apart to have a look. And....I cant see really see whats wrong. I've read how some ppl have said that their horn button has broken into pieces and that has caused them problems but mines clean.

I kinda part apart the sensor: i just took off the optical sensor module from the slotted disc assembly and both seem alright.

Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for?

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

actually the wheel has nothing to do with it. most boss kits have a facility to use the steering angle sensor. the problem is different model skylines have the thing allinged differently. even in 32s some have the 2 prongs at 12 and 6 oclock, and some are at 2 and 8 oclock. you just need to either get a boss kit that will interface with the sensor, or if your current one alread does, get the correct one. or thirdly if you still have the stock wheel then i'm stumped!

      Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

      Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?

      Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
