sorry to jack again.

when i sit on the freeway after a while my light HICAS light pops on, or if i go hard through a few corners it lights up... does this mean i have to check the fluids or go get that diagnostic work done??

cheers

Check your fluid front (under the bonnet) and back (In the boot).

Wheel alignment

Caster and Tyre Rods

Then Diagnostics.

So yeah pretty much what we all have been talking about. Get it check and see how you go.

Yeah, most likely.

I can't think of anything else.

Well yeah,

you got ABS, HICAS, 4WD, Battery, Exhaust Temp, Hand Brake and Doors.

BTW Exhaust Temp I would not worry about. I was never too sure why they had that. To check how hot the exhaust is maybe..? Yes they do heat up... But if you get an aftermarket exhaust on there then it won't matter LOL!

All the lights that come on in the dash, they are the things to look out for.

As long as you get your car serviced at 5000km everytime, you sould not have any problems.

BTW just check your other fluids from time to time. ie. Engine oil, brake, clutch and radiator fluids (Green liquid in the resivour).

Yeah I have that Owner manual, something like 800+ pages on cd.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
