i know steering issues are a common problem with 32's and hicas is usually the thing the messes everything but i have read a few posts but don't really seem to be the same as my problem. what happens is when i start the car the steering is all good but after driving for about a minute or less the steering just goes all hard. it doesn't get any harder or anything like that it just keeps a constant hardness.

the steering wheel also is turned a tad to the right to keep the car straight. maybe a alignment issue?

anyway waht is the problem as its kinda pissing me off lol...like i can drive fine with it but just want to know how to fix it? thanks

You are heading in the right direction. Your power steering module is faulting, going into a failsafe condition. Hicas / power steering module same same.

Do a hicas diagnostic and see what it is, probably steering angle sensor, as it thinks you are driving in circles.

Your hicas fault light should be on though, maybe blown globe / disconnected / wiring fault? Will be impossible to do the diagnostic until you get that sorted.

just been reading few osme posts and mines differnet cause my steering wheel doesn't turn to the left after 80kmh, i haven't lost all power steering and it doesn't get harder as i drive. but i have a feeling its just all about the hicas.

does changing the steering wheel have any effect on hicas?

will lockbar be the best way to go?

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
