If the steering angle is incorrect, you will get an error code telling you that.

I have a stock wheel on my series II R33. I do get an error code telling me that my speed sensor is not present. I have done this diag on several other R33's with great sucess....

I don't always get the car to wiggle it's bum ( it does this the first 5 or 6 times that you put it into diag mode) as I believe that you may need to reset the ECU after several attempts....... As everytime I try to put it into diag mode now for the HICAS, it just shows up the error code (21 in my instance) pretty much straight away....

When I get a chance, I will re-set the ECU and see if that makes any difference :(

I've found out with one sensor that ECU doesn't always detect a slight fluctuation in voltage.

For example the voltage difference was roughly 0.02v from recommended voltage

for that sensor. Basically wasn't enough for ECU to detect sensor is faulty and

produce an error code. ECU thought everything was working properly.

Found this problem sensor by checking via volt meter at the sensors.

That's interesting about the 5-6 times.

If anyone needs a hicas computer i have one...

and other random hiscas stuff..

hicas is teh pooh

Question is.. Can I run the standard computer and start the car to run the test with.

non standard afm. Non standard injectors. I think not. But please correct me if im wrong.

i know it theoretically it should work but its not. Me and joe tried at length on the phone to get it working but no go, also i have messaged paulr33 on this matter, but no one has confirmed it works with the pfc yet. Have you got it working yet?

nah, still no love :).

Its interesting now the problem has shown another form of itself.

Last night, after i started it, the hicas came on, Stayed on, But the powersteering was still working this time ;). but the ACC throttle blip still didnt work.

im surprised you dont have one already drift-man :)

(its the first thing i did to my 32 when i got it)

lol zennon i dnt have one buddy.. my 180 dont have hicas eww..

suspension wise i got rear traction rods. rear under brace strut brace F+R and Teins all round on 1.5neg

will have steering spacer no more rubber one and castor rods front and front underbace. oh and the 2way diff helps :)

the other 180sx has hicas and be getting a lock bar soon.

but ill prob pull the engine out and doin all pro

when i do the RB25 unless i get bored one arvo..

oh and zennon first thing i did when i got my 180sx the very arvo was raise the bonnet and put a nardi on.

seriously i dont understand why u guys dont just lock the f**king thing up. beats tearing ur hair out trying to find an electronic issue amongst all the crap.

but thats just me *shrugs*

It really helps turn in, and stability on sweeping corners. I am not using the car for drifting, so Id like to continue to use it. Really comes down to driver preference, And Id like to see how far I can excel with the Hicas. Ive driven Non hicas cars my whole life, And Im liking the technology.

Please dont whore this thread. Lets keep discussions on track.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
