hey guys and girls,

just put a new steering wheel with boss kit on the car, and the indicators dont automatically turn off anymore? im not sure if its coindicince or not, because i dont have a license and dont drive it, but i only just noticed it while reversing it into the garage.. i dont see how changing the steering wheel could do anything because isnt the turner off thingo in the steering wheel coloum cover and part of the indicator switch or something? any help appreciated. thanks

im not 100% sure with the skylines but have a look at the back of the wheel that u pulled off and there might b a piece that unscrews and gets put onto the boss kit. i know when i done it on a vl the indicators wouldnt work and found that we needed 2 swap that part over. hope that helps

There is a simple solution! I have found most boss kits to have smaller diameter pins than the factory (the pins cancel the indicators when the steering wheel rotates). The easiest solution is to slide some tubing with some reasonable thickness (1/4" silcon tubing or similar) over the pins and then reassemble. It should now work.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I couldn't agree less with that

the best thing about big local suppliers is they *will* take back something that is wrong. Order the wrong bit from Nengun, wait 8 weeks before you realise, and see how you go returning it.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
