Put the nut back on a few threads, cos when it comes off, your going to have two black eyes. Grab a mallet and hit the wheel around the edge to knock it out. You'll know when it comes off cos the nut will stop it from flying off. Do a search to find a more detailed decription. Just make sure you wheels are straight, otherwise you'll have a crooked wheel, and thats not good. Trust me, I know :P. And make sure ur new boss kit has HICAS, otherwise you'll have no steering. Good luck!

+1 on the hicas part, i bought two, one non hicas (i thought it would work perfectly) then i bought a hicas one. so much better with the hicas one.

Whyte has an awesome write up on NS.com give it a try, its not that hard.

goodluck champ.

oh well i've taken it out, but the new one doesn't looks straight while i was driving. is that the alignment problem?

thats the fun part, doing 200000000milion happy laps to get it straight, what you do is put the steering wheel on the boss kit, and then put it to where you think will be straight (leave the horn button off) and then just put the main nut back on just so its not loose (not tight) then try and drive straight, take it off and adjust accordingly, took me a few goes to get it right. once its right tighten the boss kit on, then take just the wheel off put your horn button in and put it all back together. done.

goodluck, issa.

Mate, why didnt u tell me this BEFORE I put it on!! My boss kit is stuck on, and I cant take it off! And I'm not going to hit my new MOMO steering wheel with a hammer!!

Try getting a bearing puller. Thats what I'm going to try and do. Hopefully it works!

lol, i posted as soon as i saw it. glue on the boss kit??? its just on there tight, i doubt its glued. if its good quality it wont get wrecked if you whack it a few times :thumbsup: lol. just wrap a towel around a clublock or something and hit it a few good times to loosen up the boss kit, butt it off (with the wheel still attached, guesstimate it then put it back on and just so nut is on there and you cant pull it off, not tight untill you get it right.

the main thing is not about damaging the steering wheel, but its about not stuffing the teeth on the boss kit or the steering coloumn.

Who said glue? :thumbsup:

I got it off today, I loosened off the nut, but kept the wheel on, and just started to pull it from side to side, took about 5 mins and it came off. Now its on straight, the horn works, and everything is fine!! So glad I've fixed it, the unstraight wheel was embarrising, and the lack of a horn was just annoying!!

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
