Power Steering Gone After Engine Changed (Series 1.5 Engine And Loom)


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I've had some issues with R33 series II engine and wiring , so had to change the engine and found the good deal for Series 1.5 engine , wiring harness/loom and ECU.

Got that done few months back and the power steering was heavy after that.

Mechanic said that because the series 1.5 loom he couldn't find (One that goes to Hicas unit) , he left it as is and disconnected the hicas from boot ( blue wire) and took the bulb out from odo.

When I installed that HICAS bulb in Odo , that was constantly ON. I diagnosed the HICAS that came with error 12 means no power to the HICAS Motor

So I played around with series 1.5/2 rear loom under the steering column and connected the HICAS wire in the boot. The HICAS Light turned OFF. But steering wheel is still heavy.

Am I now expecting the speedo wires not connected ? I haven't diagnosed that unit again.

any one have had these issues?

any help will be greatly appreciated

I have a 1996 Skyline R33 series II with sunroof

Thanks guys

alright I went into diagnostic mode and got this error code

    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
