Hey,

Sorry if im posting this in the wrong area

Have a 89' R32 Gts-4 with a HICAS Lock bar and aftermarket steering wheel.

Previously it was always on, but Just recently (last week or so) i've been having the HICAS light flickering on and off when im driving.

Any ideas?

Thank

Abe

screwed wheel sensor or g sensor maybe

I installed one of those Torque Split controllers a couple months back, that connects where the g sensors are and what not....maybe that might be it

Are the 4WD and HICAS sensors related? because my 4WD light is permanently on too.

Well you took the HICAS out, the light is on because it's detecting a problem.

Technically there is no problem with the HICAS because, there is no HICAS there any more. So the light will always be on until the globe blows or you take the globe out or put the HICAS back in :P

The 4WD light I'm not sure about, maybe it has a problem because HICAS has a problem? Try searching in the maintenance sections of the forum. I wouldn't have a clue.

Yep pull the globe if you have a lock bar installed.

Regarding the 4WD light I would guess that it isn't wired up correctly if it's always on. What type of controller? If it's the Ruzic Engineering version did you splice the wires into the g sensor wiring or cut the wires?

El Cheapo eBay brand Torque split. Forget the name. Cut 1 wire, and spliced the rest, from memory, sorry if that isnt much help.

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
