hi all, i have been trying to remove my old gtr steering wheel to replace it with the new one. i have got the horn button off. and and also the locking nut. from previous experiences with other cars, pull it towards you, and it should slide straight off right? well, this one won't budge at all! do i have to apply brute force? whats wrong?

You should be able to get one from supercheap, autobahn et etc.

It's got like 3 or 4 big claw fingers that hook around the back of the wheel and a big bolt that goes through the guts of it that you screw down on and it sits on the bolt of the steering wheel and as you screw down on it the claws bring the wheel towards you untill it comes off.

Hope that helps and I havn't confused you.

They are not hard to get off, they just get stuck some time. But if you are going to pull it off with your hands make sure you leave the nut on the end of the bolt a good couple of terns or else it could come hard and fast and smack you in the head.

wow! thanks craz0! you sound like a man who has had a lot of experience removing steering wheels. i hope the last paragraph is not something that has happened to you! oh... by the way, how much does one of these things cost? i dont remove steering wheels that often nor do i intend on doing it for a living, so i dont want to invest big! oh, where bouts in cq are you from?

what I do is apply brute force, which smacked me on the head hard and I was probably knocked out for a min

but just slowly use your palm to hammer it out from the back, and it'll come off eventually, well the 2nd time that I've done it was much easier, probably the first time was a virgin and was too tight

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
