Considering fairly much all that stuff comes from your dash area, look for wiring that has been played with.. Also check that you have a good connection onto the hicas module itself and any connections in between.

I only had the steering position sensor working out of that list when I started fixing faults, and even then the pricks had cut the harness back from the power steering solenoid anyway..

get rid of HICAS.

kneejerk response.

I really do like the speed sensitive power steering, without the hicas system working you don't get this. I found it easier to spend some time and work out why it isn't working and fix it, rather than rip it out and have to live with a non functioning system, building a module for proportioning the power steering without the hicas module, or having to swap in a steering rack from a car without the speed senstitive steering.

It isn't hard to work out the wiring, r32 wiring diagrams are reasonably comprehensive.

By all means lock the rear in place after fixing the issues if you don't like hicas, but I feel that getting the power steering working first would be a better idea.
