got 95 r33 with airbag

how do i get the steering wheel off

or get the plastic part that goes around wheel behind front horn cover

got all other covers off around area

just appears to be 2 little screws inside wheel that hold this cover on and there no room in there to unscrew them

does the front horn panel come off??

thanks

I don't know for sure but it looks very similar to what was on my previous VS Commodore with airbag. If that's the case, then the whole front panel should come off with a couple of screws holding it down from behind. After the steering column should be visible, just undo the nut and use a puller to get the wheel off.

Oh, disconnect the airbag wire before you do all this, you don't want it exploding in your face!

You should disconnect the battery before to starting to make sure the airbag doesn't go off in your face!

Also if you're planning on fitting an aftermarket steering wheel and boss (and your car has HICAS /ABS) then you'll need one that is suitable for HICAS equiped cars...

Wish I could take my steering wheel off and take a closer look at it.

Everytime that I turn my wheel more than about 90 degree's its like their is a loose bolt or something inside and it feels from the bottom to the top then as i turn my wheel back it falls from the top back down to the bottom again and it really annoys me.

i got that problem

thats y i want to get the cover off so i can fix it

it just started making that sound some 4months ago

and last weekend i said enough is enough

ive found wat the problem is

seem like a rod that runs across whell that has 2 turning things on each side and its loose or something and that why when u turn it at specific point it making that dong sound

only problem is i cant get cover between steering wheel off to have a proper look

might take it to my mechanics later in week and get them to fix it if no one else can help us with this issue

Im not sure about the air bag wheel but on a non airbag wheel the front horn button cover just pulls off, there may be some screws behind the wheel to remove the airbag mechanisim just look behind

The most common steering wheel rattle is the horn button plastic ring broken caused by bashing on the horn to hard.

Yep, vouch for the horn cover thing...just posted a question in the Vic Forum regarding that.

I have non airbag, took one screw out, phillips head, from behind the steering wheel...then just pulled..as with most Plastic parts on the skyline it just clips out. The screw was really annoying to undo because you can't see behind there, and it's a small screw but a big hole...(no phallic intentions)

I had an annoying rattling in the steering wheel when I turned corners and it was the plastic thingy behind the horn pad, it must be really fragile beacause I hardly use the horn. I removed all five pieces it had broken into and now all is well, but I can't find a new one...

hey guys,

i replaced mine at autosport (i think thats what it was called, in kirrawee). the one thats affiliated with just jap. the guy there took the wheel off, replaced with my after market one and re-wired the horn at a very good rate.

the main issue with the one i had (series 1 with air bag) was that there are 2 little screws on the column itself (you have to pop the cap things off it before you can see the screws, use a little key or something). the screw was a weird star shape (apparently common for skylines) but mine was worse coz it had another little hole thing as well (very hard to describe).

but all the guy at autosport did was get some tool he had and removed the wheel... etc etc. i dont think you can use any std type of screw driver.

hope this helps,

i know wat to do as i did this just a few weeks ago....there are star shape style allen keys thing right...they are gold in colour....go to a tool shop and get a T50 size key or adaptor.....remeber its a star shape and u need it to have a hole in the middle for the bit that sticks out.......i didnt need to worry about airbag going off cos it already did in accident :)....if u need anymore help just let me know

fixed

i was going about it the wrong way

all u need to do is

get t50 screw, i tryed few shops like bursons etc

i wouldnt reccommend wasting ur time as they only sell them in a set and there like from $40

i went to my mechanics and borrowed theres

all u do is take 2 rubber panel covers of side of wheel

unbolt 2 gold screwa with t50

cover will come off

look and find problem

should be big block of metal with little rubber handles holding it

if u can fix it do that or just break it off like i did and problem solved

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
