I know there's 8000 hicas threads but i think it's worthwhile to post a question on here rather than scour the abundance of info straight away. My hicas light on my dash has quickly flashed once on two separate driving occasions. I have no irregular steering symptoms but I have noticed both times it happened just after taking off (normal driving) and slight steering movements. The car was serviced on monday I figure it might be a bit of air in the system or something. Anyone got any ideas?

Hicas is not locked or bypassed all standard in that department. Will be happening soon though..

R32 HICAS and power steering is my arch enemy.

I've actually looked into get the whole lot turfed and having manual steering (DIY's online how to convert the stock rack to non-power assisted - though I'd get a workshop to do it). I'll let another workshop take a look at it before I go that extreme though.

I wouldn't mind manual steering. I love the feedback you get at speed.

Then I remember I occasionally daily the 200 with stupid sticky tyres on the front and realise it'd be a shit idea.

Even easier to use a paint scrapper, has a longer blade and has a handle as well.

OK..i have a big ugly caryard sticker on my rear windscreen its the chippy reflective vinal stuff .

I would like to remove it , im asking suggestions before i attempt this as i know it will get messy.

I was thinking of using Bug & Tar remover (worked wonders on the debadge.)

Please help.

My power steering hasn't worked for probably 10 months, I'm used to it haha.

This trend of cf sticky concerns me. Luckily it doesnt look like the real thing.

Pepsi. Go with the auto select blade. Looks amazing

where to get cf film?

I can get it at cost and in a bunch of grades, colours, or metal look

thinking of a group buy in the future if interest is high enough

you can do a real carbon wrap on your existing blade too, the one you posted is a real carbon blade or covered in real carbon

the new carbon wrap can be purchased with clear coat already on it. , so matte or slightly shiny or wet look is available

the sinergy sticker you speak of ..lol is best removed with 3M or similar wax and grease remover soaked on a rag, do not use a razor except to pick up a corner to lift, they will scratch you glass.

just wet the rag and smear it on the edges lay the rag on the parts you want off and let it sit for a min then remove. wash afterwards with water.

not fatal to paintwork it will remove wax...lol and won't melt rubber. unless left on it for a while .

its a must have for any garage, it works on everything..lol

I like the small CF sticky accents I've put on my R34. I don't think it's been overdone - just subtle (b-pillars & bottom of rear bar)

Mind you, I did this nearly 2 years ago now. Seems to be becoming more common of late, and 'too much'

there is some that looks real, I can show you real next to fake in a photo and you would be hard pressed to see the difference.

there is another option , Hydroprinting, that I was looking into. you can't tell the difference at all. I have vents done in that so you could see all three

real, hydro, wrapped side by side

I can get the seat material that is carbon weave in various colours as well, the good stuff , rated for salt water , UV rated, and burn tested for use on boats.

don't forget to wrap small parts you also need adhesion promoter, or it won't stay on in the heat, or on corners.
