  1. The harness under the dash has been messed with quite a bit with lots of subpar additions that look awful and probably aren't great for the car long term. I assume it would be easier to just rip it all out instead of trying to unwind the mess. I would be very appreciative if anyone can help me find one or sell me one.

  2. Does anyone have any resources for the part number or where you possibly purchase a replacement harness for the interior of a S1 R33 GTR? One of the previous owners along the way did one hell of a wire job on the interior and there's no way I'm going to be able to clean up that rats nest without just ripping it all out and replacing it.  They wired in all kinds of crap.

     

    I had to remove the entire dash to fix/troubleshoot some AC related issues and when I put it all back together I had to reset the clock. While holding down the H button, the left turn signal started going and I couldn't figure out how to stop it. I pulled fuses and all kinds of nonsense.  Finally I pushed down on the hazard button kind of hard and then released it and all was back to normal. So, I think the electrical gremlins will best be fixed by simply replacing what I've got.

  3. All fixed!  Obviously the wiring harness being cut was a problem. With that repaired, I was able to test it was getting power as previously noted, but still no fan.  Based on research I had ordered a used blower motor from the UK off ebay and a brand new Fan Control Amplifier which a number of posts claimed to be the sneaky issue (ebay link to part below).

    I received the blower motor first and when I plugged it in, still no fan.  The amp arrived a few days later and that was the culprit.  The interesting thing is that this part is the part number for the R32, however one post I read indicated that the R32 part would fit in an R33 and I had all kinds of trouble finding the R33 part number for some reason.  This part fixed the issue immediately and all is well. I also had to repair my actuator motor like so many others have to do.  Now I get to have the fun of putting the dash back together.

  4. Sadly fixing the wire and plugging it back in didn't work. Ordered another blower motor from the UK and a brand new fan controller amp. The motor didn't turn on either, so hoping the fan controller amp does the trick. It arrives tomorrow. The confusing part is that there is definitely power getting to the motor.

  5. Purchased my 95 R33 recently and I bought it knowing the blower motor did not work. Pulled the dash a couple of days ago, which was pretty fun actually, and turns out I didn't have to go that far as the issue was quite clear once I got close.  Some previous owner cut the wire to the harness all together!  Any ideas why someone would do something this dumb? I should be able to rewire it pretty easily, but the fact that it's been cut like this scares me quite a bit.

     

    Included pic of dash removed just for giggles. I'll likely create a separate post for the other scary looking things I've discovered. There are some extra wires around. Some are for what appears to be an aftermarket alarm or key fob setup and maybe aftermarket stereo stuff...?

    Thanks! My only challenge is that I only have the airbag wire coming out of the steering hub area and don't see the horn wire as shown in that post and I'm not sure why. I'll spend some time next week trying to pull the wheel off again and see if I can use a puller.

    Any local parts store will have a steering wheel specific or 3 arm puller.  You may need to buy some longer metric bolts depending on what you have to screw it into on the boss kit.

    Roger that! I'll look into that. I knew there were pulley pullers and I didn't think about steering wheel pullers.

    Are you trying to replace the steering wheel or get the horn working? If only the latter you can just add a momentary switch somewhere to connect the 2 horn wires to the steering wheel. It also looks like you've lost your HICAS steering wheel angle sensor but perhaps HICAS is disonnected

    My primary objective is the horn, however when I removed the steering wheel, the install looked wrong/broken. I may have to default to a momentary switch somewhere, but I also wasn't sure where the horn wire was. I only have the white plug coming out and I thought that was the airbag. Too many videos and posts that make it a bit confusing on which wire/plug is the horn wire.

     

    Not sure about the HICAS. I only acquired this car a little over a week ago. Seeing the yellow part with the arrow pointing in the NW direction seemed wrong.

    You shouldn't need to use a steering wheel puller.

    You only need to undo the middle nut & it should slide off.

    Also, it looks like its been installed incorrectly.

    Nut removed easily... steering wheel doesn't move. Hit the mother trucker hard many many times and didn't budge.  The install looked wrong to me as well, but wasn't certain and was hoping for that kind of feedback which I greatly appreciate.

    Or beat it off. If I wasnt in lockdown I could help you beat it off.

    This... is amazing haha.  I greatly appreciate the "beat off" assistance.  Might be a long flight to the states.  I put the steering wheel on and beat that bad boy with a rubber mallet from behind, but still no luck. I guess I just need to hit it more often and harder :(.  Was hoping some sort of magic trick or pulley puller trick to help get it off.  Thanks!

  9. Recently purchased a 95 R33 GTR Vspec. New to this forum, but quite excited. The horn is not connected, so I was trying to fix that (countless posts on this forum about this), however I cannot seem to remove the hub.  When I pulled everything off and took a look, I feel like this was installed wrong and in the worst way.  Looking for some assistance. Thanks in advance!
