Hello last night my friend got in my car and was fooling around and he turned the wheel until it locked, the car wasn't started. i always park in my garage with my wheel perfectly straight,thats how i know he was messing around with it.anyways this morning i went to start my car and the key wouldn't turn, the wheel was about 20 degrees to the left so i had to turn the wheel just a little bit more to the left so my key would turn. after i drove for about 5 minutes i noticed that when i got to a stop sign or red light my hicas light would start flashing.and when i took the turn my steering became ackward and tried to counter steer a little bit. it only happens if i try to corner at a low speed like under 15km. now i did a hicas diagnostic test, and the code was 7 short flashes than 1 long flash than 1 short flash followed by a longer pause. and than it would repeat 7 short, 1 long, 1 short, 1 pause. now the only thing i could get outta this code is number 8 has a problem???? the parking break senser ?? does anyone have any information that can help me because driving has become anoying. thanks you.

the power steering fluid looks full.

what do you mean by steering rack?

i just recently had all my control arms and tie rod ends replaced.

could the problem be from my friend turning the steering wheel all the way til it locked?

what does the code mean from the hicas diagnostic test.

the 8th flash is long

park brake sensor???

any other ideas

Check for leaks. Sounds like Steering rack is gone.

Check your power steering fluid is full.

if its front steering having funny play back then its from the front more likely.

I had a Hicas issue with the light on my R33 GTR and it was the rear at the time. The unit died.

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
