Car drives fine, Hicas light doesn't come on immediately when turning the car on, only after driving for 1/2 hour or so. The power steering fluid level is also fine. Any idea what the problem could be, as it only occurs after driving for a while?

and yes aftermarket steering wheels that are fitted with out the special HICAS boss will show a fault!

croat,

The HICAS light's only function is to let the driver of the vehicle know that there is a fault with the HICAS system, basically it will light up in general driving when the system has a fault eg: low fluid in the power steering (R32 have reservoir in boot) ,any electrical connections for the HICAS can be dirty and also a number of sensors that can fail (vehicle speed, steering angle, engine speed........)

Also Note that having an after­market steering wheel fitted without the proper HICAS boss adaptor can also cause the HICAS system to show a fault.

The HICAS light will also display the code for the fault after diagnostics has been run.

Mega,

The reservoir in the boot is, I'm pretty certain, only there on AWD models (GT-R. GTS4), and its for the ATTESSA 4WD system.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
