I wanted to confirm if that's still correct because when you go to any automotive website like Supercheap auto for example, it only gives an option for an r34 gtt that has 206kw, which is same as a gtr r34 roughly. Makes no sense to me lol.

All good mate no problem at all! I get what you're saying as well. I haven't got a video on me atm, but this video right here is exactly what's happening with me at the 0:29 - 0:34 mark in the video . Exactly as the guy is doing it, hands off the steering wheel and starts to slowly go in the other lane. Only difference is that mine is going to the left side and veers to the left lane slower than in the video. As mentioned I'll likely leave it for now. Apologies if I'm being a pain in the arse! I know I've been harping on about this topic for (I just realised for 2 weeks)

The veering to the left when letting go of the steering wheel. But to make it go in a straight line so my tyres don't wear out I need adjustable arms on the front apparently, or if I'm lucky my worn out bushing is what's causing the problem.(I got a squeaky front end and it creeks when I turn when the car has stopped)

Update - so I got it checked out and turns out apparently it's normal because the front of the car doesn't have adjustable arms at the front and apparently the tyres actually wear out on the side a bit more from the factory which did sound off to me. Nothing to do with the alignment apprently.

Nice work there, the fascia looks great!

I haven't been able to find much info but what happens if the sensor dies out? I assume mine is fine considering that I've driven well over 70km an hour and I haven't experienced any faults yet (not that I adjusted it or anything). Is it even possible to adjust the steering angle sensor the wrong way without removing it? The reason I ask is because there was a time when I turned the steering wheel with the nut removed (not sure if this moved the shaft and the steering angle sensor separately but I assume not). I know that it turns with the steering wheel and the shaft.

How did they fix it? Writing here just incase I need to do this. I thought you're never supposed to rotate the clockspring because it can brake the wires inside or is this relating to the steering angle sensor?

A random update, I checked the amount of turns on both sides of the wheel and it's the same. I'm going into a suspension shop soon to verify things.

I forgot to mention that the indicator stalk isn't cancelling when turning on a roundabout after I did this. That's related to the clockspring I assume?

Yeah that makes sense. I definitely didn't touch the rack, I generally know what to not attempt these days after all my previous f**kups haha. I think the reason originally my steering wheel was crooked when i put it back on for the first time was because I didn't put it back on straight like how I had it before I removed it, instead I lined it up with the spindle mark as per the tutorial but I guess that doesn't take into account if someone messed with the system beforehand.

Ah right, I put the steering back on straight so it should be all good. It's just the spline that's pointing towards the left (picture attached of roughly where my spline is pointing in orange, but steering wheel is straight, it was like this before I removed the wheel) . I'll probably just leave it. Or knowing me, it'll bother me for a short while and I'll end up ripping the damn steering wheel off again.

Ah nah that's not my case scenario, if I hold the wheel then all is good. I only need to hold it a little bit to keep it straight.

Ah ok, so I guess in my case everything is correct? I went to take out my other car and it seems like it does the same thing except the alignment on that one is f**ked because my left tyre is bald on the edge lol.

I thought the steering wheel has nothing to do with the car veering in one direction? I asked @Dose Pipe Sutututu on another thread apparently it's not related (hope it's ok if I tag u in here) With the rack, nah I didn't touch that at all. 2nd alignment now, so hoping it's ok. Correct me if I'm wrong but seems like what you said above, that my scenario is normal and no adjustments need to be done?

Got another wheel alignment done, turns out it was way off, though it still veers to the left lol. I'll just live with it. I had the tyre shop and my mechanic said it's normal apparently for it to go a bit to the side cause the roads are sloped but does it on any road.

Ah ok, good to know that I couldn't make an extra f**k up 😂

Does removing the steering wheel make it possible for the car to start driving off to one side or is that two separate issues?

Ok I fixed it, and now it's straight but my car is veering to the left, which I guess is part of a wheel alignment. I just noticed that my rear and front tyres don't have the exact same alignment. Which I'm guessing my mechanic did it manually as opposed to be put on a machine. I think I figured out what the whole issue is. That spline when its at the top, the wheels should be perfectly straight but it's not so the alignment should have been done when the spline was at the top so when it does get removed everything is in sync, whereas now even though it's straight, the spline is towards the left.

I hope so, this should have been a simple job. Not sure where it went wrong lol. Will try again.

Ah do you mean the 3 notches on the steering wheel and the clockspring don't need to line up? If that's the case, somehow I just got a weird scenario where i didn't align it and the steering wheel sits flush whereas before I had to have it aligned. My steering wheel is still crooked but just in the other direction. I already had a wheel alignment but I wonder if it's so off because the spline should be in the center if I'm not mistaken.

The problem is that, it's slightly off, the center pin doesn't line up with the spline. This is how it looks now. I can technically make it perfectly center, but the guide pins on the steering wheel and the clockspring it self won't sit in and be flush. I attached the guide pins on the clockspring for reference.

Dunno how I messed this up but my steering wheel drives crooked now lol. I thought these things were supposed to be clumsy proof haha.

Guess so it doesn't have play / move around.

Am I reading this correctly? It's showing the steering wheel nut is only 39nm, which seems quite low. i thought it would be tighter. The sump plug max torque is 39nm which isn't tight.

Nvm, I misread the post.
