NEW 1991 skyline GTS-T

[hahapauli]

i just brought home my new car...lovely car...took to auto shop...for service and CHECK out exactly what I've done/got....

and come up with a coupla questions...

HICAR light is always ON

CAR will not shut down when it's hot...BUT after a coupla of minutes it stops...
NISSAN mechanic says...perhaps it's to...protect turbo

BEST international parts suppliers...*^^*

[hahapauli]

Oh car is 1991 GTS-T...auto...

[hahapauli]

sorry HICAS light is always on....obviously you can tell...I just driove it from dealer to ...workshop*^^*

about the hicas light check your power steering fluidas soon as it gets low the light comes on. For it not shuting down have a hunt arount for a turbo timer under the steering wheel if you have no luck time how long it takes for the car to shut off if its between 1-5 mins its a turbo timer

[hahapauli]

yes the turbo timer....my first turbo*^^*....figured that out pretty quick...the experts say the ..GTS-T...doesn't need a turbo timer unless...you're going nuts in the car.

THE HICAS....problem...does seem to be related to the steering fluid though MECHANIC says....there is enough fluid...there's a leak somewhere.(until some parts start arriving...MECH...won't go over the car more closely)

Power steering doesn't kick in until...after five minute, a decent BUMP...or reverse parking....

I'm waiting on PARTS....for various minor ''neglect stuff''
(like it took three weeks to get brake pads)
ANY body know a reliable parts supplier...who sends internationally...???
NOT just performance GEAR....BUT..maitenance and replacement parts as well...thanks.

Check the float switch on the steering fluid reservoir. R32 HICAS is powered by the PS pump and a low fluid level will affect it. Otherwise check the connector on the HICAS computer under the parcel shelf - the square flat box.

If the car has 5 stud hubs, 300ZX brake parts will fit like they were made for it.
