R33 Gtr Hicas Issues

Hey

I have an aftermarket steering wheel on my R33 GTR, I have removed the clock spring since the airbag is not in use and am running the wheel with a boss kit

Problem I have is on occasions when I am driving, if I corner hard or even power out of a corner the HICAS light comes on... Usually stays on for a few KM then goes off

I know this is due to the car having an after market wheel because when I reverted back to the standard wheel from aftermarket there was no issues

Question is, why is the HICAS light coming on, what's it doing/not doing when the light comes on and will it effect performance in any way?

Is there any way to trick the HICAS and stop the light from coming on?

Thanks

To my knowledge HICAS has sensors that determine the position of the steering wheel....Unless your boss kit is designed for the GTR (ie not a genetric one) then HICAS reports an error and does not work correctly.

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
