[clarkey]

Alan,  Ive got the car at ICE at the moment getting them to look at it and see what they think.  I'll post back here with results.  Maybee it will help you.

Thanks mate. I'll keep wathching. When I first bought my car the hicas light was on and they said they would fix it. Well now I know how they fixxed it.

YO880: Your thread was very handy to me. I removed the GRID for a month, but my problems still occured. I wired it back in myself and soldered all the connections in. It's definately in correctly. Yeah 50/50 is dodgey - The problems started when I set it to 50/50.

Alan: I'll post later today when I ring ICE.

Any news Chris?

Ok, Seems that some of my problems are caused by my tire sizes. I knew that the tyres had to be the same size front and rear, but my importer assured me that this was ok with the rim and tyre combination he sold me. (Bastard)

ICE put same profile tyres on front and back which has stopped my movement in the rear when I take corners hard. The HICAS light is still on, so they are inverstigating furthur.

My AIR BAG light and ABS light haven't come on for about two weeks after I found a dodgey earth in the engine bay. Thanks heaps to who ever posted that Idea.

Will post more when ICE get back to me.

Sorta, Managed to stop the rear end moving around, with different rim / tyre combo. But still dunno why HICAS light is always on. I'm contacting other service people to see if anyone has the electronic device that plugs into the comupter and tells you exactly whats wrong with your baby. I have the car back from ICE now thou. They had too much work on to look furthur into it.

Will keep you in mind when I solve this problem.... if ever....

Update. If anyone ever gets the Airbag and ABS lights coming on and their battery is slowly looking chage and releasing acid into the air giving a choking smell from the boot. You might just have the same prblem as I did.

Hook up a volt meter to your battery and you will see that the battery is being overcharged when these lights come on. Hence you have a faulty voltage regulator and need to get your altinator reconditioned. Mine cost $200 for fully reco.

What about your HICAS light? wasn't that on all the time as well? any luck there?

[Scotsman]

HICAS Light is still on and lit bright and shiny for me to see every time I start the car until I turn it off.

Chris, I think meggala has one of those diagnosis units that plugs into factory nissan ecu's?

[EVL R33]

Have you tried the HICAS diagnostic test? There is a test you can do which tells you of any faults with the HICAS system. I think Skylinesdownunder.co.nz had it listed somewhere, others here should know how to do it...

I think Racepace has a Nissan Consult Diagnostic tool that might help you?
