Wierd Steering Issue

my friend owns an r32 gts-t, stock springs, shocks, rims/tyres, steering wheel etc.

he showed me today a puzzling problem how the steering is normal up till about 65-70km's, which then the steering wheel automatically turns to the left roughly 15 degrees while the car stays straight and remains there.

if you slow down under the 65-70km mark, the steering wheel then turns back to 0 degrees while still staying straight. pretty tripped out!

he's had no smashes or anything like that.. does anyone have any idea what would be causing this?

sounds like the hicas is turning one way and so he is automatically correcting.

remember that the steering wheel has a connection to the rack, so if the steering wheel turns you are turning the front wheels, the steering wheel just can't turn on it's own without turning the wheels.

problem. the hicas controller is stuffed. solution. replace the controller or get a lock bar.

it happened to me but it was a bit random and generally when accelerating hard, so i locked the rear rack.

My car used to do something similar, the wheel always sat about 10deg left of centre and at about 80km/h when accelerating hard, the back end would get a bit quiggly for a couple of seconds - only around 80km/h.

Removed the rear steering rack yesterday and whacked in a lockbar (cheers NV_01), steering wheel now sits straight and no more squirling in the back end..

I can only assume I've been crabbing along for a while now O_o another thing I noticed was that when reversing out of my driveway the wheel would sit about 10deg to the RIGHT, then left again when moving forward. I think hicas was fubar'd!

THANKS FOR THIS INFO GUYS!!! I thought I was just going crazy with my R32 because on the freeway the steering wheel would sit to right but when I was driving in normal streets (60k zones) the steering wheel would be straight. Might have to convince the g.f to let me get a lockbar and see if that fixes it.

Why did nissan even put these hicas systems in in the first place. Everyone takes the bloody thing out.

Yeah i had similar problem on GTR locked the hicas and never done it since, very unsettling, and weird when you tell people and they say no that can't happen, Yeah well we know different, It can and it does.

      Unless things that you want to do include reference to time. Simple Boolean logic is only good for digital inputs or analogues that have been thresholded into digitals. But unless you also have a timer function available (which would more ideally be located inside the program, rather than being forced to implement a timer outside the ECU and bring it in as a seperate digital for every time delay you want to implement), then you can't do some of the things that you might want to do. My PLC ladder logics are obviously littered with program blocks, because that's easier than building it all in ladder gates, but the most frequent of those program blocks is a simple timer, because you actually can't otherwise do that in ladder at all.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Log voltage. I'm suspecting the alternator. Or even maybe a bad earth somewhere. ie, seeing as it is rev dependent, I am thinking it is alternator dependent.

      Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.

      You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.

      Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
