guys,

got a problem with my HICAS. starts in the morning light off and steering is fine.. but after driving it, turn it off and start again, light on

and heavy in the wheel.. tried all the stuff in the hicas threads and maybe will try to 4 wheel alignment tomorrow, coz the rear wheel

maybe in angle coz the left goes inside a bit and right goes out.. ( maybe this causing the lights on??? )

anybody knows can do 4 wheel alignment?

or anyone can help me for this cause got driving training this saturday...

thanks guys...

All i can think of is that the power sterring fluid tank needs more fluid. When the car is dead cold, the power steering fluid levels are high. When you drive it, fluid levels drop down when the car gets to its running temp resulting in there not being enough fluid in the tank. When turning the car off and then back on i would say its detecting that the fluid levels is low hence the reason why the steering is heavy and the light is on.

The only other thing it can be is the power steering pump. Does it make a weering noise from the powersteering pump when the steering is heavy?

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
