R32 Hicas Warning...

[Fox - R32]

Hey everyone,

i own an R32 GTS-T, but with an engine conversion from the original RB20 to the RB25. It is my first skyline i have owned so i am still getting too know it. One concerning thing is the HICAS light that is on the dash, i have checked all the power steering fluids and all that and they are fine, the car itself is reasonably stock apart from the engine conversion and the usual mods (BOV, front mount intercooler etc.). Yeah i am just curious what i can do too get rid of it, and if it is really detrimental too my car. The all wheel steering itself seems too work fine, i have checked all that and i just had the wheels aligned but it still pulls ever so slightly too the left, would this be because of the HICAS? Any help would be appreciated...

Cheers

is there a hicas lock bar installed? if so just take the instument cluster out and remove the HICAS bulb. if the hicas is still on there then my guess is when the engine conversion was done the links between the std r32 ecu and hicas ecu were lost. i'm not sure if the rb25 ecu can be wired to work with the r32 hicas unit.

yep as said if it doesnt have a hicas lock bar, put one in. youll love yourself for it.

if you just want to get rid of the light;

look into the car from the boot and underneath the parcel shelf, to the right of centre you will see the hicas computer. it will have 2 plugs in it, unplug the smaller of the 2, and cut the green with white trace line wire.

that will make the light go out and stay out for hicas problems. it will still come on if you have low power steering fluid level etc.
