thread has some pretty good HICAS discussion.

and a bit of copy-pasta for you:

Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: When turning the ignition switch to the on position, the amber BRAKE, ANTILOCK or ABS light on the instrument panel should glow momentarily, and then turn off. If the light stays on or flashes, or comes on while driving, it indicates a fault in the ABS system. Have your car's ABS system inspected immediately by a professional technician to determine the source of the problem.

Remove HICAS with a lock out kit, your secondary pump has probably given up... Its a common problem with Skylines.

well locking out is an option but i dont want to lose any of the handling that it has with the 4ws my ps pump is leaking and is getting replaced next service as with the abs i have had it inspected and it is working fine but the sensors are prob full of break dust

but i dont know where the sensors are to clean them

You dont lose handling by locking out the HICAS, I noticed that mine handles better without it... The only thing that the HICAS is good for is reducing the turning circle and helping with lane changing at speeds over 60kms.

HICAS just gets in the way if your driving "enthusiastically".

ohhhh ok fair enough

hicas is also electric on the 33 so its unlikely to be a pump mick

Check that the plug near the back of the diff hasn't come lose.

Have you got an after market steering wheel?

Before all this checking complex stuff and using lock out bars, check the fuse. That was the issue in mine when it occured.
