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.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
