I posted this under the Mods and Maintenance / General Maintenance section but haven't had any responses. Thought I'd put it here and see if there's a better response.

Thanks for you help.

I was driving my Stag around the other day when the HICAS light came on. Nothing else was noted just the HICAS light. After investigation I conducted the HICAS self diagnosis procedure. I assume it has the same HICAS as R34 Skyline as the HICAS flashing code seemed to be in accordance with the R34 Workshop manual.

It came up with code 13 - and according to the R34 manual it says it's a motor output fault and to conduct inspection 3. Does anyone know what inspection 3 is? and are there common faults I should be looking for?

Thanks for your help.

Your light is telling you to get rid of the hicas. Actually I didn't know the RS4S had Hicas - I thought only the 260Rs had it. If you do have hicas maybe you could check to see if the motor is working ( either by jacking up the car and observing or checking it with a multimeter).

hi, i ve just bought a 2001 arx... brilliant machine.... but i was wondering... the hicas thing must have bugger all impact on the handling?

also anyone from auckland -- i would really appreciate if you could shoot me a txt... got some really basic questions

    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
