Hi,

I'm trying to remove the steering wheel on my R32 GTR to fit my new sparco number, but have fallen at the first hurdle of getting the horn-button out :huh:.

I've searched and read the factory manual. The pics in the manual tell me to "Press horn button notch from hole under steering wheel

with screwdriver and remove horn button as shown in figure." But either I'm retarded (possible) or there is no such "horn button notch" (much more likely). The diagram of the steering wheel in the manual does look different to mine so maybe refers to a different model?

Can someone please give me a detailed description? Once I've figured it out I'll post some pics to the tutorial section.

Cheers

if its like the r33 series 1 3-spoke wheel (and i think they are quite similar), then you just pull the horn pad off, towards you, away from the wheel. there's 3 or 4 metal clips that hold it in place.

just give it a good yank. it feels like it's not going to budge, and then it pops off.

from your description, that may be what is in the diagram, but here's pics of mine which sounds different - the horn assembly is a cylindrical assembly in the centre of a solid formed wheel:

Mate. The button comes straight out. Just lever it with a little screwdriver from all sides and it will come off. Then undo the nut (don't take it all the way off) and then pull really hard and wiggle it till it comes off. the idea of leaving the nut on a few turns is that you don't hit yourself in the nose. It's tapered so takes a bit of effort.

edit: forget the manual. it's just a steering wheel!

ok cheers :thumbsup: I admit I am ashamed to have to resort to the forum & the manual but have smashed & ruined stuff in the past trying to guess at how to pull stuff apart.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
