f**kwit of the year award @ Welshpool pits in WA (it seems it's not hard to win this award there).

One defect I had was for "HICAS light to operate correctly" on my R34 as the HICAS was replaced with a lock bar and the dash light stayed on.

I obtained permits for the lock bar, and assumed simply removing the bulb will clear the defect.

Apparently not, f**kwit of the year exclaimed they still need to "operate correctly". Can someone please enlighten me how to make a HICAS light operate correctly with no HICAS on the car?

Doubt the HiCAS will work or the light will appear to work with a lock bar in place mate. I would just remove the lock bar, get it through and than put it back on again. If that is what you are planning on doing.

I don't use a lock bar and never had HiCAS issues with mine.

A couple of problems that that idea. Lock bar was on the car when purchased so I do not have a spare hicas. Also you cannot remove lock bar without replacing it with something

Anyway I called up the main office and they agreed it was a shit decision so I can get that defect removed from the list.

FYI (incase you need to clear it in future) you can use a non-hicas subframe instead of the lock-bar solution which is entirely regency friendly.

Good that they removed that defect though - sounded pretty trivial really...

Edit - Krishy, I think you're the only dude I know (aside from me) who still hasn't removed hicas ;)

Hasn't given me any issues since I bought the car, so my theory of why f**k with something that isn't broke yet????

Mine gave me a bit of shit the first year or two I owned it. Narrowed it down to a non-compatible boss kit (Nardi wheel). Got the boss kit and everything started working perfectly.

Was wierd tho - the hicas would get confused after 10-15 minutes of driving and then disable itself (hicas light on continuously) - what was happening is because the magnets in the wheels were in different positions depending on the era of skyline, and it was actually tricking the ecu into thinking that the car has been driving in circles for the last 10-15 minutes.

Also if you went over 80kph within those 10-15 minutes, the rear wheels would change toe (scare the shit out of you too) and you'd have to drive straight with the wheel "not entirely centred"

I screwed around with so many different software solutions too, and none of them were useful - apparently Conzult Z32 can read HICAS codes from the R32 GTR but thats the only one - BUT the software is locked to use only the usb/OBD cable that Conzult sell (so no chance using the software with the cable I bought from the blokes who fitted my nistune).

In the end, the multimeter and the service manual was how I figured it out. And yes, it took a long, long time ;\

That said, working HICAS is great.... taking roundabouts at 60kph like a boss. cos chicks dig it.

Hey all last night i got defected for car being low and boost gauge so now i have to go thru regency, was just wondering if anyone with gtst r33 s2 who passed regency can give me some pointers or the list of everything that has been done to clear of the defect. I know about major stuff such as exhaust,suspension but im more interested in HICAS as it was removed before i bought the car (still got it in my shed as i got it with the car) so will i have to connect it properly with oil lines etc. or can i just install it without connecting all the stuff?

      Hello, Newbie, anyone know my 32's history?

      By Leigh_Mack · Posted

      Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By sonicii · Posted

      As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
