R33 Help

[NeoLokie]

hey Guys,

My sister has just bought an R33 gtst, and I have a couple of questions.

When the hicas light is on, whats that mean?

Do they have and electronic boost controlle of some sort? Its only running about 3psi at the moment, had a bit of a look and theres a solenoid looking thing just behind the air box with a couple of pipes coming out of it that have been blocked off and the pipe to the wastegate looks like something else was in there at one point.

I don't have a pic sorry, I'm downloading a manual for it at the moment, was just hoping someone could shed some light.

Thanks!

Rob

HICAS means her car has a problem with the rear-wheel steering system. Most skyline imported here have HICAS (4WS) from factory, they don't turn much probably only by a degree or so to help counter the oversteer during hard cornering for the average driver out there.

If the HICAS light is on, chances that it's been disconnected, or removed. Aftermarket steering wheel can also cause HICAS to stop functioning. There's lots of threads in thsi forum about HICAS, and most people will have it disconnected totally as soon as it's having problem anyway...
