blkgts25t Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431859-removed-hicas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRBE Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Checked your power steering fluid? Or maybe the system needs bleeding. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431859-removed-hicas/#findComment-7020211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkudR33 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431859-removed-hicas/#findComment-7020707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plattsy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 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. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431859-removed-hicas/#findComment-7024966 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkgts25t Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Why search when you can ask a question then wait ages for someone to maybe respond? well as u can read above I have a 1993 r33 gtst. after replacing hicas with a lock bar the light was on and my steering was heavy. checked everything but nothing worked. however after seeing the post by DIY MIK I snipped the green wire with a solid white line and now theres no light or heavy steering Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431859-removed-hicas/#findComment-7077430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
