[Angus Smart]

I've done a search but not found much related to my problem(s)

yesterday afternoon i noticed my steering went very heavy, tho in the morning it was fine.

this morning when i go to turn car on my front torque goes up and off the scale.

i'm unsure of that system i should be looking at to fix this problem.

just tried to drive. fuel, oil pressure, rpm, and the torque one that goes to above and beyond do not work.

i've tried to get into the hicas fault check but it does not work..

car has the tomei lock off kit.

also windows wont go down.. soon i'll have enough here to write a novel!

It's the meter fuse in the cabin fuse box. Bottom row, 6th? from the right.

[Angus Smart]

cheers for that. that may be one problem sorted. but there are still many more

What is happening exactly, Andrew?

[Angus Smart]

i'll have to take it for another drive in the morning. and try fault the heavy steering problem

if steering goes heavy to normal and back to heavy or similar, this could possibily be the speedo cable.

[Angus Smart]

its always heavy, doesnt change no matter how slow or fast, tho obviously it gets easier when your moving. but its still has the same force to turn.

this is the only problem i have now all others are fixed. but i'm still stuck

Have you tried to do the hicas diagnostics since replacing the dead fuse?

If you can't get into the diagnostics, you will have to start probing with a multimeter. Solenoid drive signal to steering rack, solenoid ohms, speed signal to hicas module, power to hicas module. Pick all the ones you can get with a meter, following the manual, and if you run out.. then try replacing the hicas module with one you know to work from a mates car.

ps. you haven't got a thing on the wiring issues I'm having to sort out with this one.. rb20det AT, converted to rb26dett MT with wires deleted, twitched, taped, aaargh. good luck though.

Haha i figure i'll need a hoist for that right? to check all them voltages. i might find someone i know with the diagnostic tool also. which would help locate the problem(s) right??

and i did try get into diagnostic turn wheel press brake pedal etc etc. but i just look like an idiot it doesnt seem to work.

well i feel a bit better knowing my problem isnt that bad!

Would the power steering fluid be abit low?

[arep3]

power steering fluid, 4wd fluid in boot, (could be air bubbles in lines or just not enough) issues with wiring, issues with hicas computer on parcel shelf, issues with speedo/speedo cable. if worse comes to worse, id find a good qualified mechanic that knows GTR's. maybe even PM sydney kid

Angus Smart.

take your car to your closest or friendliest Nissan dealer and ask if they can fit up the "consult" to it and find out what is wrong. Hornsby Nissan is one Nissan dealer that should have the card for R32 GTR as they sold them new years ago. If you ask nicely they might find the problem for you for free and then you can head in the right direction as to what to change, replace or fix. Consult will check all the system outputs and inputs for you saving days of chasing your ass, and wires.

hope this helps.

Good luck.

how's our other thing going???
