Mine too, i'm not sure. I will try and sort it out this weekend.

I don't have the power steering hooked up at the minute, although may it just be the fuse or I can be far from it I onlt just drove my 32 for the first time the other day and have barley looked at it.

If he has a HICAS lock bar then that is the reason why the light is still on. You've removed the HICAS Rack from the car and it's telling you that there is a problem. Just pull the globe out of the back of the dash and you'll be fine

If he doesn't have the HICAS lock bar in and is still running the factory HICAS Rack in the car then he should take it to Nissan and get them to check it on the Consult to see what the problem is

There are so many reasons why the HICAS light can come on, and it can be a real pain to get rid of. Some really strange things have been known to set it off. Try simple solutions like topping up fluids, checking fuses etc. When my light came on, I just topped up the fluid reservoir (which wasnt THAT low) and it went off again.

my advice to u is, take it to an auto-electrician, preferably to nissan themself, but b4 you do that chek the fuse, if the fuse is blown then u cant do anything else urself coz thers about 20 components and about 50 wires u have to chek with a multi-metre yourself before you find the faulty component, i know from experience as this happend to my Honda Prelude Si 4WS, i spent about a day trying to find the faulty component, failed miserably, took it to honda and the guy found it in less than ten minutes, it was a wire that had been cut sumhow, so ye take it to nissan or sum other auto electrician

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
