i bought a boss kit off GKtech, really good service and got hear quick to. but now ive installed it, i got the blinkers clicking back, but the steering wheel isnt.

its asif i have it on to tight or something, when i loosen it up, it starts to go back but not as quick as stock would, plus its on loose for it to do that. when its on tight, its also harder to turn.

anyone know whats it from? i really want to know, its worse then driving without powersteering, really annoying me. should i go get the pricey just jap ones? (dont wana spend another 100$ on useless mods)

cheers, issa.

Yeh, this is a common problem with Skylines and boss kits. Ur boss kit doesnt have HICAS, so the computer shuts it down, which is why it is so hard to turn. You can modify your new one with the old sensors, but its easier to buy a new one. I bought mine from a shop called MALZ, but I think Super Cheap sells it? If not, other shops should have them. The boss kits are made by HTB or something like that. Not sure exactly, but its close enough. Good luck!

i just took it for a drive, seemed much better, i did some of my own modifications. got electric tape under the sensors, enough so i could push down and it would stay up, then taped around them both (note thats why i put tape under so i could do so). taped around them so there stuck to the boss kit lol, im running no back plate on the boss kit, just the tape (acts like the back plate), but i still have the steering wheel not so tight. im thinking if i get the HKB ones, would it feel just like stock, or does it still have the same drama's?

cheers, issa.

*edit* thanks so much for the reply mate, really appreciate it.

yea man, bought a HKB hicas one 2day from justjap for 99, its awesome, powersteering works perfectly, and doesnt seem like the steering wheel is on to tight when i tighten it up. the other one from gktech is hopeless for hicas, got the blinkers to click back but it was still crap. HKB hicas FTW.

now its awesome, just like stock but better wheel.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
