Anyone!! When installing a momo wheel, what position should the steering sensor be in when installing the Boss? In the standard wheel, the position is at 6.00 o'clock. If the sensor is placed at 2.00 o'clock, will it stuff up the sensor position and bring up the HICAS light?

I need help!:D

Hey i had the exact same problem

I just moved it to suit... i havent noticed any problems, everything seems to work fine.

good luck

Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but I will be installing my new wheel on the weekend and want to know all the things I should know before then...

What do you mean moved to suit? did you just move it, test drive and move to a different position until the HICAS light stopped comming on?

Cheers guys....

Hi guys!

No one seems to have replied to the top post?????

I know this is an oldy but I have installed a momo wheel with a nismo boss kit and I have the same problem. After driving the car for 10 min the Hicas light comes on. There is no change in how the car steers. Can someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I would liek to take the car to the track soon but feel unsafe! Is there a certain way to point the boss kit before fitting??

Thanks in advance.

On a R32 GT-R the HICAS "sensor" prongs are at about 1 and 7 o'clock. If you have the OEM steering wheel, you can align the two dots (one on the steering wheel, one on the shaft) to get the sensor prongs in the right place.

You will need a HICAS-enabled boss kit. If you boss kit forces you to move the prongs from 1 and 7 to some other configuration it is the wrong boss.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
