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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
