Hicas

[Mr GTS]

Hey Guys,

Newby to this site so be patient with me.

I own a R33 and over the last 2 days have noticed in the dash the HICAS light come on sometimes and stay on.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

check your power steering fluid be for you do anything else.

then read this page for the hicas diagnostic

cheers

hicas light comes automatically when cars power is on. it is four whell steering type thingy which aids you in corenering, obviously. the wheels don't infact turn into a corner, they actually create a negative camber effect, but don't ask me exactly how much.

It does tend to make the car a bit drifty at high speeds and always wants to re-correct itself through a drifty. Which leads me to my question..... what happens to the Hicas if we get the springs re-tensioned ie; lowered / stiffened will it still work? Or can we get the hicas disconnected??

mmmm..

Easy Hicas fix...

Crawl under car....disconnect the plug into the diff...NO more annoying HiCAS!

I'll stick my head under there tonite. I also noticed some gadgetry that has to do with the Hicas in the back of the boot behind the rear parcel tray. me don't want to tough that tho'.

should get some good drifts happenin when it's dis-engaged. can't wait.....

Guys

I too have hit the HICAS blues i recently noticed after i replaced the clutch on my car that the HICAS light was coming on and i would also experience a slight knocking noise with some ****house steering problem. I read up on what u can call a manual on the car and it said to check the fluid on the power steering pump i noticed it was a bit low so im gona top it up today as when i checked it was late and wanted do it when there was proper light. ill let you know how i go and if anyone else knows any other sure fire solution other then removing the hicas altogether let me know , but when you come to think about it if all else fails why not hey ?

oh yeah !

I have done the Hicas test on a prior occasion it was O.K. then not that you can tell much by it?
