ok as stated... when i go over bumps on roads the sterring wheel rattles., now i checked to make sure its not the keys in the ignition jingling, or the ignition hole iteslf. when i adjust the steering hieght up and down it makes the noise...(when i bang it down) it kinda sounds like and allen key tapping against metal (best sounding example) and it is definetly comming from the steering colum. anyone else had this prob or know what it might be.. ??? also is it easy to take the colum casing off.

so annoying!

cheers

my horn pressure plate went brittle and fell to pieces and that started rattling inside my steering wheel whenever I hit a bump or turned corners. Had to remove the plastic pressure plate because there was not much left of it. replaced it with the bottom of a coke tin and some zippy ties :nyaanyaa: did wonders.

I don't know about the non airbag version, but the airbag version of the R33 wheel is pretty straight forward, just take the airbag out (you don't need to disconnect the airbag so no need to worry)... and you'll see the weight right there, big phillips head screw driver on 2 screws and its out, fix it and put it back or leave it out.

yeah well undone all the screws (about 7 of em) took it all off to reveal a lot of wires, metal crap n shit still couldnt feel or find it it. have no idea what it even looks like. it seems its in the top half of the steering wheel (meaning right behind the wheel itself). when i turn the wheel side to side quickly i can here it rattling around... so litlle and minor but yet it get me so cut.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
