Hi Guys!!!

Newbie here, just want to ask you guys what do you think this problem maybe from my GTR.

My Hicas light will turn on suddenly when I pass thru some kind of rough road .. And I hear this clicking sound in the rear trunk bottom left side area, sometimes the click is simultaneous w/ the hicas light turning on, don't know if coincidence though. The clicking sound sounds like a relay flickering. Any of you mates experienced this?

I got the same problem... exactly. Found your post when searching for "hicas".... no posts have the same issue as this.... so not sure how to fix it. I also get erratic behaviour from the 4wd. Big bumps in the road cause it to put power to the front wheels and it shudders until i lift off the throttle. Very strange problems.

Drop me a line if you figure it out... or if any gurus stop by this thread....

I have had a very similar problem, I drive a '97 R33 GTS25t pod/3inch turbo back zorst.

The problem occurred the day after I installed an Apexi SAFC2. After sitting on 90kpph for 5mins I started hearing clicking noises near the passenger seatbelt and then the HICAS lights came on. Car still drove normal, I stopped on the side of the road and the ticking noise continued and HICAS were still lit. Turned the car off waited 30sec and turned it back on the HICAS lights were off but the ticking noise still comes on intermittently (usually at high speeds).

Since then there's an occasional ticking noise near the floor of the passenger's seatbelt but the HICAS light have not lit up since and it has been about 2weeks since the first incident.

If anyone has any ideas please shed some light on us.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.

      The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.

      You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate

      I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.

      I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
