Changing Steering Wheel On R33

I've got an R33 4 Door and I've bought a new steering wheel to replace the old one (it's worn out pretty badly). It doesn't have an airbag and doesn't have cruise control so I figured it should be an easy swap over.

Anyway, I've never changed one before so I thought I should ask a few questions before trying. First of all, what do I have to do to get the old one off? The new wheel has 6 small holes in a circle on the back. I'm assuming thats how it bolts on? The horn pad itself doesn't seem to come off, so I guess there's a way to do it all from behind?

Thanks

Thanks. I thought as much so I'll get onto that.

In regards to taking the old wheel off, can anyone guide me through it?

u prolly need to pull the horn cover off the old one and under there somewhere will be a nut which fastenes it to the steering shaft. u will most likely need a power drill or similar to take it off u can get ones that plug into ur cig lighter and do the job pretty well. then its basically bolt ur boss kit up n mount the wheels u will also prolly need to run for the horn one wire to ur new center buttin tab and then another to a ground somewhere but im sure u will work it out.

Not to flame but I still have nfi why people replace a steering with with an airbag to the one without? :angry:

He also said that it doesnt have one so that may be a reason...

You can pick up a steering wheel puller from supercheap auto or some place like that for like $20. Also make sure!!! that your wheels are super super straight otherwise when you drive of your wheel will be wonky and no one likes a wonky wheel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
