Nah, it sounds like your car is normal, the light is meant to turn off after the motor has started. that sound you can hear when you turn the key, just before you start the motor is the fuel pump, not the hicas. Hicas is shit anyway, but it sounds like yours is perfectly normal.

hicas is shit, disable it

run the diagnostics to see if anything is wrong: from memory start the car in neutral, pump brake pedal 5 times quickly and then once for a couple of seconds, then put the car in gear and drive forward about 10m. the hicas light will flash an error code. do a search for what these mean

Im a little concerned with my Skylines HICAS, for some people who dont know what HICAS is ,its a 4 Wheel Steering on skylines.

i think everyone on these forums knows what hicas is as a new hicas question pops up every 2nd day :D

the rear wheels dont move when the car is stationary. some people believe that they only move when the car goes above 80km per hour however this is incorrect. its more like 30 km per hour. you will know you have a problem when your light comes on in your dash and stay on while you are driving.

thanks for telling us what hicas is ;)

do a search...  

thank you, come again

agreed!

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
