Hi guys..

2 days ago while i was driving around i felt my stering whel started to get hardened up on me and i also noticed that the hicas lite came on at around 60kmph and flashing... i also found out that my Speddo and ODO meter are not working either :) This morning i try to start the car and it dint.. i've got a RSM and it was showing between 9.6 and 10.1 Volts. So i took it to my mechanic and tthey replaced the Alternator . but my steering wheel is stil get hard after 3-5 mins of driving and HICAS light turns on with it..

The mechanic checked the wire to the gearbox for the odo and speedo .. abd they were fine and he said it might be my Dash. ???!?!!

I have got a after marker Steering wheel and Boskit so i have disconnected the HICAS module (3 years ago)

I was wondering if any of you guys had this problem. and iwould like to now the solution if there is any..

Cheers Guys.

Theevil, i do have a Blitz Supersonic BOV , but wat does it have to do with the power steer and ODO problem??

GTTR34 - Yeah everything else is working properly. and i also check all the fuses but they wer all OK. by the way my mech said that this model dash is a mechanical speddo and odometer dash. I called ADVAN in Sydney and Mr. "RipOff" Peter Hopkin said for the cable he charges me $180 + $90p/h Labor :P

Anyways.. thats news so far.

Thanks guys.. for ur attention to this thread.

try looking at these thread

i think the reason why your car does cut off when driving is because your BOV is atmospheric and does not 'plumb back'. Skylines have sensitive air flow meters

What do I know? SFA but I do know the hicas is linked to the speed of your vehicle and that when hicas cuts out so does power steering as mine does when it gets wet:rant: I solved this by spraying lanosol on the connectors and it stopped but dont think this is your problem. It sounds like a speedo/wiring sort of thing but I know SFA.

ok thank u guy.. i think i might get the Speddo Cable fixed first then ill see if its ganna fix the hicas problem by doing this so.

Cheers again guys...  :D

Fixing the speedo cables should take care of the HICAS and power steering weight issue, have a look at my post in this thread:

MRPREZ,

Hey dude, I've got the same problem as you. Sometimes at night, when i turn on some music, and then i turn on the heater, HICAS comes on AND the Steering wheel hardens up too. However, I changed the battery and everything is all sugar.. So try that out..

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
