I was driving along the highway last night at about 100 when the back of the car pulled really badly from left to right then drove normal again. I looked down and the HICAS light was on. I pulled over straight away and switched the car off. I checked the power steering fluid level but because i was in the middle of nowhere and it was cloudy i didn't have much light. There seemed to be enough in there but i couldn't be sure.

I jumped in and drove back home. Was almost in town and it did it again... this time it didn't throw the car around as much. Other than that it felt completely normal to drive. Steering wasn't heavy and it went around corners normally.

Its an R32 GTS-T auto. Has a aftermarket steering wheel on it with a HKB boss kit. Is the HKB boss kit HICAS compatible? The steering wheel is on straight as well.

Thanks!

Simon

There are an awful lot of threads about HICAS.....

Is the HKB boss kit HICAS compatible? The steering wheel is on straight as well.

How long is a piece of string? :D HKB make HICAS compatible boss kits, but whether or not you have the right one is hard to say without a model number or at least a picture.

most of the problems people have with HICAS are due to fitting an aftermarket steering wheel wihch doesn not have the correct hicas sensors.

perhaps your car deciding to steer itself at 100kms is *because* there is a problem with the boss kit?!?

:idea: Ding, ding, ding :D

Merlin is right. HICAS problems are almost always to do with either low fluid or an incorrect or incorrectly fitted boss kit.

So if you can tell us what the boss kit is, and even better, provide some pictures of the install we might be able to help.

mine did this aswell mate,

scary stuff,

with a standard steering wheel  

and a full fluid level,

I just disconnected the pump at the  

back of the car and all head aches

are gone

Does this cause any other problems?

Anway... found a power steering fluid leak. Checked the fluid again in daylight and found it to be only about halfway up the dipstick. Filled it up and fixed the leak but haven't had a chance to go for a squirt out of town yet.

I'm gonna assume that this was the problem and hope that its all fixed now.

That way i can get back to making it quicker!! :uh-huh:

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
