Re: Hicas light
the light is comming on because your hicas has no pressure and the system thinks theres something wrong...
just wondering.. why dosent the car have a pwr steering belt???
sounds like you in over your head already

My car has no power steering belt. No belt, no pump, no brackets, looped-back hoses and one goofy guy behind the wheel that thinks that's how it should be.

Re: Hicas light
Oh, i also dont have a power steering belt because i bought it like that. haha. The guy before me had one in, but then it snapped or something. Not really sure what he did to it.
Re: Hicas light
Hicas is the rear steering. Its powered though the power steering. So... no belt...no work...no light....
Another question, in case its not just a belt. Is the rear HICAS rack on the car?

Re: Hicas light
look under the car. There would be a steering rack that runs across the diff cover. It looks just like a regular steering rack that steers the front wheels.
And I steer through will and muscle strength. My RS still has power steering but only because I won't butcher that car. my old Skyline, my 180 and my truck all steered by pure omph. Parallel parking sucks to be sure but the feedback I get underway is really good and the drag on the motor and weight are more detrimental in my opinion than the mechanical advantage for the slow speed maneuvering.
I would not recommend doing it on a HICAS car. It's a whole different setup with four wheel steering and it could be dangerous.
