Hey guys, habve had this problem for a while now and after attempting to get it fixed once professionally figure its time to open it up and see if anyone knows whats going on.

A while ago started the car and the hicas light stayed on figured it must just be low on fluid so i filled it up but to no avail. Was told by a workshop that the power steering pump had a leak and this was probably the prob. paid a decent amount of money to have the pump recondidtioned but it did not fix the problem, in fact now the light comes on every time i drive the car not just now and again?

When the light is on i have no power steering either so it a real pain, any ideas? would buying a lock bar get me back my power steering? is there a seperate resevoir for hicas fluid apart from the power steering one?

The car is a r33 any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks adam

The unit is in the boot on the right hand side of the light.Check that it doesnt allready have a hicas electronic lock allready installed.

With these the hicas light will stay on but dissables the hicas alltogether coupled with some shims for the hicas arms to stop it from floating willie nillie.

The unit is in the boot on the right hand side of the light.

sorry i am a bit confused u say its on the right hand side of the light ? do u mean in near the battery i can only see the a fuse box looking thing?

if it is a bad connection why would it work when the car has been sitting for mong periods but not when u start it after driving recently? any ideas

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
