Howdy lads,

need some advice, I have a 94 R32 GTR and the HICAS lights keep coming on. Its seems to be coming on once I get up to speed and not when travelling slowly as should this system in normal operation. We have checked all the fluids etc in the 4ws etc and it only happened after my mate gave it a bit of a kaning the other day befoer that no problems. Any advice on what to check or how if there is any way to reset the system.

thanksMB ;)

My R32 Gtst does the same thing, I've checked the fluid level and everything, but once i get up over about 120-150kph, the hicas light comes on.  I'm not really sure what is causing it, and from the looks of things, it's just annoying, and not affecting anything.

Of course you do that speed on private roads wink wink. But yeah, you tried running the HICAS diagnostics yet?

I have a 32 gtr and the hicas light always comes on after about 10 mins of driving. Previously had a 31 gtst and the same thing happened. Apparently it is a very common fault. Tried numerous fault finding techniques over the years to fix, without success. Now I just live with it!

Mine was comin on every now and then.. Had my car data streamed and it turned out to be a power issue with my hicas module. The data stream is not expensive either 100bucks and I also got my ecu reset (yes a real reset not some dodgy disconnect battery thing). Also got other little things that was picked up by the data stream fixed.

I am not sure if the ECU reset has cause any changes, but car seemed to be more responsive now.. :cheers:

Oh this is for an R34 GTT. Would say the data streamin well worth the 100bucks to find out what faults there are with the car and also the ECU reset. :cheers:

My hicas light tends to come on sometimes after high speed or going over bumps. I have an aftermarket steering wheel fitted. Once i turn the car on and off it dissapears though. Apparently aftermarket wheels can do something to the hicas sensor or you might have a faulty hicas sensor. My car seems to drive fine even after the light has came on so i dont worry about it; however i've read in a past post about someone nailing it on the freeway and the hicas light came on and the car started changing lanes by itself at 160+kph.....I guess you could always get a hicas lock.....**** hicas.

      Seeing as it's an 04 model, I would be hitting up wreckers first.

      No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!

      Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      By Apache23 · Posted

      Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
