Thanks @soviet_merlin will definitely add that site to my list of places to look for JDM parts, this is the first jdm car I’ve ever had so I’m new to having to search for parts like this and finding parts over here is not easy since we never got any of these cars in the states.

@funkymonkey thanks so much for the links! 🙏🏼 I’m located in the US so I’m a little worried about what shipping would be to get it here but it is what it is, may be cheaper to have someone grab it for me and then ship it themselves.

@soviet_merlin I’ll definitely check with some of the yards , I believe that one linked is a GTST latch but I’ll contact them and see if they have anything available , thanks!

@PranK is what it is but thanks for taking action and helping people prevent it in the future! I’ll be way more careful myself now with buying from individuals 👍🏼 live & learn

Yeah looking back I totally ignored some things I shouldn’t have so I put some blame on myself, I was just overly excited thinking I finally found a latch and somewhat blindly went with it. I did not talk to that user he mentioned directly and I did think it was weird he DM’d me with a direct email contact instead of just replying to this post. The guy did send me pictures of all the supposed latches he has but now I think they were probably just pictures ripped off of previous sales done elsewhere online. Would be cool if someone could look into it , just wanted to bring attention to it cause I don’t want anybody else to get scammed.

yeah exactly what GTSboy said. Good shout though, I could look into that. Also y’all be careful of the people on this attached image . Pretty positive I’ve been scammed by this douche , if you see the message sender or the forum member he mentioned steer clear (not 100% sure if the message sender was in on in it) but definitely seems the person who owns that email is a scammer. Was told I’d get my latch from him in 3-5 days, now it’s been 8 and he won’t reply to any of my emails anymore.

Hey all, I’m looking for a hood latch and the support that it mounts to for an R32 GTR. Im putting a gtr hood on my gtst and ruined my HCR32 latch support in the process of trying to modify it to work. I’ve tried fb marketplace, eBay, japan eBay and various other sites and can find absolutely nothing , any help to steer me in the right direction would be appreciated.

For anybody finding this in the future here’s a fantastic chart that shows which HKB Boss Kit goes to just about any Nissan you may have

Ok after looking at DriftWorks site it appears the ON-110 I tired is for an earlier model year and the ON-115 they have labeled as GTR specific, so I’m going to give ON-112 a try as the description they give says it’s for late model skylines with Hicas. Fingers crossed , had no clue so many different variants of hub existed.

Fair point, maybe it’s not the number of teeth that’s different but the orientation of them? I mean I’m going by the arrow labeled “top” on the hubs when I try to line it up so don’t think it could be going on upside down. I saw a chart someone made a while back that showed what different boss hubs supposedly fit all of the different 32 models and variants but I can’t find the damn thing and it was kind of confusing hence why I probably bought the wrong one. When I have it apart again I can post pictures to help explain.

@Duncan don’t believe it’s alignment or suspension related because my oem wheel sits perfectly straight and my car doesn’t pull one way or the other and with the oem wheel Hicas is indeed happy. What I’m referring to is the hubs I have always want to slide on to the steering column splines either one notch to the left or one notch to the right instead of sliding on straight like the oem wheel. From what info I have found , it seems the early model year 32’s and the later model year’s have a different number of teeth on the spline so I believe that is the problem, I’m just not sure which hub will have the right tooth count to match my steering column.

Hey all , I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction in finding the correct aftermarket steering wheel hub for my car. I have a 93 (so late model) R32 GTST coupe with Hicas. I’ve already tried 2 different HKB hubs which were ON-110 and ON-115 and both are 1 notch off from top dead center so they keep throwing my Hicas light. Does anybody know which HKB hub is the right one for my specific car? Also fine with a different brand hub if anybody knows what will work, just want my wheel to be straight and my light to stay off lol
