Hi guys,

bit late really cbf looking for this topic but i have a problem,

Ive noticed in my gts-4 hard acceleration to 80kmph and above my steering wheel changes angle,( ur thinking is this guy drunk? ) no... my steering wheel moves to the left but the car goes straight .... ?

i was on the freeway heading to plenty road... when BAM more than 100% it was HICAS f**king throwing my ass end into a wiggle and BAM my steering wheel was straight again... ?

ive had this similar problem in a GTS-T b4.. but when that happend the HICAS light turned on as if it was disengaged...

This time i get the wobble that nearly made me smash into another car lol but no disengage of HICAS..?

All i want to know is why the f... does this HICAS system do that? whats the deal with my steering wheel going to the left on acceleration then going straight when hicas wobbles?

am i in need of a lock bar?

Shed some light! I fkn hate it!!!

Cheers guys!

That's exactly what my HICAS used to do - steering wheel rolled over. Then when you hit 110kph, that's when HICAS turns off - steering wheel snaps straight, and it's a scary experience. In this situation, though - my HICAS light wasn't on.

Either way, I ended up talking to Nissan about it and they used their CONSULT to check it out. Turned out the HICAS steering sensor was off compared to where the wheel was. Basically when the steering wheel was straight, HICAS thought it was at an angle.

Basically what I had to do was get the HICAS system reset, and have the steering rack straightened up compared to what the steering angle sensor thought. It's been perfect since. I'm sure Nissan can advise and probably fix it for you. (Bit difficult to get it straight without the steering angle sensor output).

      Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)

      By JoVo · Posted

      Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
