i got my car about a month ago and it has an aftermarket SAAS wheel

the middle part of the horn pulls out and it has two mettal prongs sticking out from the removable part

and then a wire on the inside of the hole in the wheel where the horn is ... with a spade like connector... but there is only one

so yeh. i dont have a horn and i hate it.

does anyone know how to fix this?

or should i just buy a new wheel?

Checked the fuse? Did the horn work when you got it? I don't know whether the skyline horns are negatively switched or not.. I think if they are negatively switched there will only be one wire.. ugh someone else may be able to help you :blink:

i know my horn only has 1 wire going to it, pretty sure the steering wheel only has the one wire coming off it to.

try swapping the wire to the other terminal and see if that works.. if not, try the fuse as suggested before, or even try another horn!

or... get your bf to do it for you :blink:

I had the same problem with my r32, check all of the above as well as look at the horn itself (usually in front of the radiator) The wire may have fallen off there or check the front of the horn is not touching anything, this will stop it working too. If none of the above work let me know and ill see what i can do. Also you can see if the button is stuffed by touching the wire on a ground (the bolt that holds the wheel on should do) if the horn sound this way and not with the button you can just get a new button.

Check the fuse first. Change it out (even if it looks ok). If that doesnt solve it then :

The one wire on your boss kit is a positive wire that links up to your horn. There is no negative wire, because your car is negative earthed, and so doesnt need it. To be honest it doesnt sound like an issue at the steering wheel end. Just get a test pen and check that the single wire has power going to it.

If the single wire has power going to it, then you'd check the horn side of things. Pull the wire off the horn and check it isnt corroded etc. Then get a test pen / multimeter and bridge between that wire and the body of the car. Get someone to press the horn inside the car and check that the wire is getting 12 volts. If it isnt theres a wiring / fuse issue. If it is, but you connect the wire back up to the horn and no go, then the horn is stuffed.

Hope that helps a bit.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
