Does hicas have a steering wheel sensor?

[clone]

I believe I found my hicas problem. I was scrolling thew NISSAN FAST and saw a picture of a steering sensor.
The steering is turning right after 70km.
I have NARDI steering wheel that I think was not installed properly.

Are you suppose to align the steering wheel with the steering sensor?

[Bossman]

Technically it's the after market steering wheel hub that is suppose to align with the position of the sensor on the steering column. Now there are two different position for the sensor if your Skyline is a R32 (I and II). The R33 position is different from the other two R32 but you can use the series I hub and clock it.

my horn wont work now lol

My car came with an aftermarket Momo steering wheel. Hicas light was always on and horn didn't work. Took the steering wheel off and replaced with an OEM steering wheel. Hicas sensor was removed. My car was crab walking everytime I passed 70km/h.

Unbelievably dangerous, so I just got RightDrive to lock it out.

Mine does the same thing about 50% of the time. I have the lockbar, just been to lazy to lock it out lol

I got my lock-out from RightDrive, but mine is not a lock bar. It's a small metal O-ring. Works the same as a lock, however this Tomei kit is a quick job that can be undone easily if you decide to want your Hicas back for whatever reason.

Daryl could explain better if you're interested...call him up

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

MKIV has the Tomei kit, it's a great choice as it locks HICAS both mechanically and electronically. It's safe on the parts, doesn't throw error codes and is completely reversible. We usually have them in stock too, as when customer's HICAS systems go crazy it's something they generally want fixed ASAP!

sounds like the best solution. thanks Daryl. I'll put that on my christmas wish list.

Dear Santa...

does the hicas steering wheel sensor double as the signal reset sensor too? (the one that un-clicks the turning signals after turning)

[Spencer87]

^ I wouldn't mind understanding that further. Mine unclicks one way but not the other!

[M13]

So I looked into this matter and yes the assembly has a prong for the HICAS as well as the turning signal return (the thing that 'unclicks' the signal after making the turn).
