i have a 1993 r33 gtst. since the hicas light came on my steering has become hard and i read here that taking out the hicas system and replacing it with a hicas elimination bar helps. so 2 weeks ago i did just that. I followed the guideline as it was posted on here but my steering is still hard and the hicas light is still on. anyone got any suggestions

R33 hicas is not mechanical, it's electrical - your getting the hicas is in limp mode, lets stiffen the steering wheel crap... If you have stock ecu try doing the HICAS diagnostics test - there should be a thread about it on this forums!

Ps: my car does it to, i got used to it, so over trying to fix it (I can't run diagnostics because I have a microtech ecu)

use search.

i believe there is a green cable on the hicas ecu that you snip. this disables hicas all together. yours is still enabled but locked. so will throw fault codes. diagnostics will not help you.

On a 32 its the green wire.

Under the parcel shelf theres a little box with wires, but i dunno about 33.

Sooo... Can I cut the green one yet! :devil:

Light still always on, completely been removed & lockbar fitted.

Why search when you can ask a question then wait ages for someone to maybe respond?

so did this fix it? if you have fixed it, just let us know what it was. another site member is having the same issues.

no dodgy bulb removal bs

and there could be multiple reasons why your steering is heavy.. either HICAS ECU dead, fuse blow, steering rack sensor is fuarked, no power steering fluid etc..

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
