o.k guys i have a autotechnica steering wheel and its pissing me off cause its so ugly..(came with the car)... bought a mint stock steering wheel for my r32 gtst yesterday and wanna put it on now.

can some one tell me how to take off the autotechnica one and put the stock one on. really dunno where to start. any help appreciated. thanks bru!! i'm parched is bru!!

maybe take a photo of the wheel? sorry if there is as i cant see pics at work

but there should be some allen key bolts/screws which hold the steering wheel onto the boss kit. you undo these bolts/screws and the wheel should come off the boss kit. then the boss kit is usually held in with one massive nut thing. undo the nut and the boss kit comes off

then use that massive nut and use it to bolt the stock steering wheel back on

EDIT: just had a look at some of the autotechnica wheels and saw some that have a cover over the allen key screws. if thats the case, then im guessing you use a flat head screwdriver and pry open the middle part with the autotechnica logo and it should reveal the screws

alright i'm stuck guys....took off the autotechnica wheel along with the bolt in the middle that holds the boss kit on...but the boss won't come off? it full on attached to something. how do u take it off? and how do u attach the stock steering wheel back on? help lol

Edited by jakez88

spray some wd40 on to the thing that the nut was bolted to and lit it sit for a little while, then pull. its not the easiest thing to get off.

for the stock steering wheel, pop the little horn bit out with a flat head screwdriver and then push the steering wheel onto the rod that is sticking out which the nut goes onto. then just tighten

lolz awesome man ur a legend...all done now...though really helped with taking off the boss kit if the steering wheel was on it still...i reattached the steering wheel and it came straight off with a tug of the steering wheel lolz. thanks man.

one more question...i put the steering wheel on and it seems that now the wheel has to be held abit to the right to drive straight. is there away to straghten it up?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
