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.

    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
