Hi Guys,

How are we?? Firstly i need to know what is this HICAS stands for and what it actually do??? secondly, Just want to know about HICAS light ....... Since i changed my factory steering wheel to after market steering wheel, this HICAS light just truns ON whenever it likes but doesn't turn off unless i stop my car and start it after 1 or 2 hours.... if i start my car stright away, light comes ON straight away, and when the light is ON , the steering feels bit heavy........ i don't think that its because of aftermarket steering wheel and Boss Kit.......... Majority of skylines got aftermarket steering wheels............. So what you recommend guys???? any help will be highly appreciated.... thanks :worship:

when you change the steering wheel you must use an aftermarket boss kit to make hicas work

hicas is rear wheel steering over 80km/h

its expecting sensors in the steering wheel to work out where you are turning

without those (no boss kit) it panics and throws an error

hmm well is it the correct model or setup properly / aligned it?

given it only broke when you changed the steering wheel, id say it might not be correct or something?

have you got the old steeering wheel you can put back on to confirm it works again OK?

hicas is like a cock flovoured lolipop.... totally useless.

get a lock bar :)

Agree with Hamish. whilst I have no idea what a cock flavoured lolipop tastes like, i do recommend you replace the HICAS with a lock bar, this will remove the problem :cheers:

Lock bars are for people who can't drive a real car. rofl.gif

If a big steel bar was better than Hicas, Nissan would have fitted it from factory.

Real drivers feel the change during the corner and appreciate what it does for the handling. Other drivers whine that the car did something they weren't expecting and have a cry.

Haha are u serious, hicas was put there to prevent oversteer and make the car more 'tame', ppl remove it causes its a crap idea, something for ppl who cant drive 'real' cars. Who wants there rear end moving around when they want predictable handling.

Remove it and your problem is solved, best cheap mod you can do.

lol, so every car in the world that doesn't have HICAS is not a real car? If HICAS was better than a big steel bar, Nissan wouldn't have ditched it themselves :)

It's good at what it's supposed to do...but many systems end up faulty, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to drive a car the way you expect it to. For the extra 10kg of dead weight, you're better off with a tube of lightweight steel and handling just like every other RWD car ever made.

      Dry sump? Is that like where you don't put oil in, and leave the car parked in the garage because it's worth so much now and is like a beautiful museum piece? 😛

      [ACT] Nissan Fuga Y50 VQ35HR 2009

      By Zveruga · Posted

      Nissan Fuga Y50 2009 VQ35HR 313 hp / 230 kW RWD Also sold as Infiniti M overseas. Performance sedan built on the same chassis as Skyline V36 or Infiniti FX. Great colour with a fantastic velour interior. Very quiet and fast car (<6s 0-100), but can also be very economical for performance (long-term average consumption 11/100 km) I imported it five years ago, and it was well looked after. It has a full service history and a balance of ACT rego. There are no finance or PPSR issues with the car. Has all the features you'd expect from a luxury car. ABS brakes Stability control Traction control Dual-zone climate control Power and memory front seats and steering column Power passenger ottoman Smart key access Push button start 2 parking cameras Steering wheel audio controls Adaptive radar cruise control AFS aiming headlights Xenon HID headlights Security system Original Nissan remote start system Two original keys Dual-channel dashcam Blackvue 750 with PowerMagicPro for battery-aware parking recording Regularly serviced with a lot of major items done: Full new original Nissan suspension shocks throughout Performance CSF radiator Recent tyres, less than 10k on them New drive belt New bonnet struts Brakes recently done The car comes with a fully converted AV system with Australian GPS maps, DVD, and radio ($2k job). I really love this car, but I have too many cars and too many Nissans in the family, so unfortunately, I need to sell it. Priced at $18500 The car can be seen in Curtin. Thank you for your attention.

      Here are a few photos.  The car is auction grade 4.5B and a genuine 1 owner car, as far as I can tell...  It has a full service history with only 31,000km in it.  I'd love to put a midpipe and tune on it but I am thinking that I'll retain its originality.

      I can be grumpy!  After owning one of the first GTRs in the country, I was bitten by the nostalgia bug and started the hunt for a GTR again.  While I could have bought a car locally, I wanted to experience the search for a car in Japan and bidding at auction.  The above videos document my experience to date and hope forum members find them interesting and informative.  I was after a low mileage, completely stock car in the launch colour and am pretty stoked with what I got!

      Did you calibrate the throttle in the Haltech? It might be falling in and out of the closed loop strategy, especially if the car has been tuned on different TPS voltages.
