Hey ladz,

just a question,

when everyone else has put on an aftermarket wheel and boss kit, does your stearing go a little stiffer? or not?

if not what would cause mine to go a little harder to stear?

it almost feels like the power stearing isnt working as much anymore..

Cheers

it could be to do with the boss kit.

i wish i could put an aftermarket wheel on but i have an airbag.

also if you are in qld, make sure that the diemeter of the wheel is bigger than 350mm, and not less then 25mm smaller than the stock. they are the legal requirements in qld. not sure about other states though.

I have just put on a new steering wheel and boss kit today but now after about 8-9km driving this dash light comes on... i dont know what it means because there is a little piece missing from my gauges so all i can see is a bulb... but obviously there is meant to be some sign there..

please look at the pics and let me know.. oh and its a 1994 R33 GTS-t

which light you mean? the one on the speedo or the one above the fuel guage?

the one on the speedo is HICAS. as youve said you didnt get a hicas boss for the wheel, so that would be your prob... if its the other light id have to go take a look at mine... if its hand brake light the switch on it might be shagged, not sure if it warns for other probs tho...

oh sorry, yes the red one is my park brake... becuase i stopped and took the photo... but the light im asking about is the big bright yellow one...

how can you tell the difference between the hicas boss kit and a normal one??

after i took the wheel off there was a black thing that span around with 2 legs on it, but i couldnt fit the boss kit on over these legs so i took it off, pics are below, i had to remove this piece to get the boss kit on properly...

what is this piece.. should it have stayed on?? should the boss kit fit over these 2 legs on this black thing?

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
