what size is your battery, is it from a micra by any chance?

covak2002 · 28th July 2008, 02:50 PM

looks like a fart arse thing small and about big enough to fit in a toaster

Ian C · 28th July 2008, 02:51 PM

small battery + hifi amplifiers = hicas issues.

covak2002 · 28th July 2008, 02:53 PM

rgr dodge will order a hoofer 1 today then and see what happens at least will boost the crank power if nothin thks for the quick reply

i've fitted one off a new nissan pathfinder on mine....engine fires so much quicker than previously. fits the standard tray and terminals are correct way around (for a UK R33 GTR).
If you have the small terminals then you may need to change to large type to get a decent battery in there.

Maybe use this to get a Gel Battery? Some Hawker/SBS or even Stinger?
I'm planning to do this on mine!

Happened to me when I had a water leak in the book (fusebox area)
Best thing to do is unplug HICAS until you fix it

covak2002 · 28th July 2008, 04:46 PM

classic! Ah well, not your doing hey!
Does make me wonder why people fit these to GTRs:
The engine's twice the size and the wire to the starter motor must be 5 times longer than on a micra! And that's before you look at all the vehicle dynmaics electronic gizmos!

crazy

Honestly, your best bet is to lose the HICAS....

No HICAS = No problem

TT

Your pcx shows an R33 ,is the car you are talking about an R33 ?
That hicas is a bit different to R32...
I would be very cautious unpluging anything to do with steering , without locking it up first somehow.
Anyway, hopefully the battery will fix it.
