HICAS Problem

[R32Skyliner]

It seems this is a familiar situation to some people on this board. My HICAS light goes on and my steering gets heavy. I ran the diagnostic and i think it said that i'm having troubles with my HICAS solenoid left side and my power steering solenoid. Does anyone know where these are?

On another note, my speedo decided to stop working today, which gives me another problem to solve. Any ideas as to what this is? I'm gonna check the wiring to my ecu as I recently wired up a turbo timer into it so i may have made a mistake and got the wrong wire.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

the best way is get HICAS lock kit.then you dont need to worry anymore

I had the same problem after the RB25DET was installed in my car. I believe it is because the speed signal hasn't been wired into the HICAS.

Given that your speedo has now failed I would say it has to be a problem with that speed signal input.

I disconnected one of the plugs (the smaller one) from the HICAS computer. This has disabled the HICAS and prevented the light from illuminating on the dash. However the steering is still slightly heavier than normal.

Cheers for the help guys. Can I get at the speedo cable from under the dash, or do I have to remove the whole thing?

i was told that the R32 had an anolouge type speedo, and the digital one didn't come till the R33?

my light comes on too...

i did the diagnostics and i think it's trying to tell me it's the speed sensor (ie. 4 short flashes then a long 5th)
