I have done a search, but it seemed to give almost every thread a result for my search, so i came up with nothing after searching through like 30 pages of threads

Has anyone removed their steering wheel before on an R32?

Can someone give me some idea as to where to start and what to do?

cheers,

Warren

Pop the horn button, remove the nut (about ~18mm I think it was) and pull the steering wheel off. If you are having trouble with pulling it directly off, knock around the outside of the wheel with the palm of your hand ro loosen the grip from the spline.

USE FORCE!!

Then you see the see the horn/ground adapter for the horn, unplug that and.....I guess, attach your new wheel :D. I put a MOMO wheel on my 32 and theres no way you can attach the horn power/ground to the power/ground on the wheel. I just wound the ground wire around inside the BOSS Kit and made a contact with ground. Dodgy but it has always word since.

Theres 2 levers under the steering wheel column that allow you to adjust it. One enables the wheel to move forwards and backwards and the other enables up and down. Or have you adjusted them as far as they'll go already?!

ok i did it today, and the steering wheel came off easily :)

My problem now is that the rod that the steering wheel bolts onto was shorter than i was expecting.

Has anyone been able to modify their steering wheel to enable it to stick out further? A couple of cm difference would be all that i need...

cheers,

That could prove a tricky process.. You'd have to pull the whole steering out, and get it rewelded. Which would not only be tricky, it could invalidate the structural engineering of the car if inspected.

You have no arms?

picture T-rex - big but with tiny arms...

no seriously, it would just make it more comfortable for steering. obviously i have been fine for hte last 3 years i have had the car, but am always thinking of how i can make it that little bit better :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
