[problem with my power steering and hicas]

i know this topic has been on here many times before but i dont know whether any of the feed back applies to me.

well anyway i bought my R32 GTS-t with an aftermarket steering wheel and the hicas light keeps goin on after like 2mins of driving. after a few months of having the car i had to replace the steering wheel due to the horn kept popping out.

i put on a standard r32 wheel and soon after my power steering partially stopped working (as in its hard but not like its not working at all). after i turn on the key and drive around for about 2mins the hicas light goes on and the power steering stops. i was told it was the power steering pump so iv'e replaced it and it still doesnt work. ive had it replaced 4 times now but it's still the same. i've also noticed once or twice that on some rainy days the power steering works fine.

since then i replaced the steering wheel again with a momo one and now the right indicator doesn't want to stay on when im turning.

i will be getting a wheel alignment soon (hopefully it will fix my hicas)

does anyone know what the power steering problem would be? the fluid is not low... would it be anything to do with the steering wheel? or hicas?

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
