Hey ppl,

I just removed the factory steering wheel and fit a MOMO wheel in its place.

Question is the momo comes with one black earth wire with a clip, and has two terminals on the back of the horn. There are about 5 horn wires that I clipped from the 'line... anyone got any ideas which are what? The wires I'm talking about are the ones from the clip towards the bottom of the steering wheel that goes from the column to original horn.

Also... since I removed the original horn clip/plug my quiktrak seems to be playing up. Were any of those wires used for something else? It seems to play up whenever I leave the Turbo Timer on.?

puzzled....

I am not sure how different the 33 is but...

I just fitted a new momo wheel to my 32 on Christmas day. The stock wheel had the two wires running from the horn button - one went to ground in the steering wheel and the other went to the power supply behind where the wheel goes on.

The momo button has 2 connections - one for power and one for ground. The power one goes in the centre of the button and the ground is the one near the side, with that symbol printed on it. I was in a bit of a dilema on where to put the ground because there was no connections for it like the stock wheel had. I just stripped the wire and wrapped it around (under) the main bolt which fixes the boss kit on. Then fastened the bolt on. It works fine. I HAD to get it to work because I fitted airhorns about 2 months ago :D

Do you have airbag? not sure why there is five wires there...

dun noe about the 33 but when i fit the momo on my 32, i took extra precaution to ensure it does not affect the hicas... also made sure that one of the clip on the horn is in contact with the metal part of the steering column so that my horn still works.

my advise is to get it to a specialist and get the car realigned again.... any disturbance to the steering wheel may or may not affect the hicas.

my 2 cents.

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
