Welcome to the forums Maalik, but you need to note a few things:

- your thread title is stupid and mentions nothing regarding what your post is actually about, and what you need to find out.

- this topic has been covered dozens of times before - and you would surely realise your best bet is going to a Skyline inclined mechanic who will quickly tell you what is/isn't ok on your car.

- ALWAYS think VERY carefully about if you really need to start a new topic, or whether it has been covered before - ALWAYS use the search function - you will find most answers you need.

Most importantly, there are a list of topics at the top of the SA forums which will help you with most questions. If you need to borrow a part, post in the 'wanted to borrow' thread. If you want to know about where to buy parts of what workshops to go to, consult the appropriate thread ....

buy a new one for that

Welcome Maalik

A new, nissan branded, regency approved steering wheel? cops arse steve.

A cheap jap wheel, yep. But I suppose that you've missed the point of the post, again.

-D

Edit - a fair price, esp when the same wheel is $80 USD overseas - http://www.japandirectjapanese.com/product...t=17&page=1

Just remember that the steering wheels are different between the S1 and S2 R32 despite looking the same. One has the hicas lugs 10-4 the other is 12-6.

This is correct, my wheel is for a zenki GTS-T/GTR... the steering wheels are the same between the gts-t/gtr except the horn button has a R for a GTR and an S for a GTS

Condition of wheel is good. Not great but not crap either.

PS Dion - I wish I knew that 2 years ago before I spent ages doing research and getting nowhere lol

When did S1 and S2 change over?

Dont know what month, but generally speaking 89-90-91 is S1 and 92-93 is S2.

For some useless trivia: S1 and S2 have different headlights, front bumper (GTS), instrument cluster, gear/radio surround, hoodlining material, carpet, seat trim, different cam cover (RB20), different size bolts here and there. Apparantly tail lights are different too, but I cant confirm.

Dohmar, the "S" on the GTSt steering wheel is the Skyline logo.

Thats exactly what I wanted to know - I have a 92 GT-R and need a drivers side headlight, knowing there are different projector types is a great bit of information, cheers :)

GTSt/GTR Have the same headlights EXCEPT, the GTR's have holes for the grille to clip into, so just watch that. Alot of GTSt's already have it anyway such as mine, but something to watch.

Yeah I knew that ;P have seen it before after all

instrument cluster is a bitch of a thing as I bought a carbon backing plate for the gauge cluster only to find the indicator and high beam lights are in different locations, still got that for sale actually if anyone with an s2 is keen ;P

Radio surround has a textured/bumpy feel on the s2's, gloss black on the s1's...

would be good to maybe put a thread together in one of the forums listing any known changes between the zenki and kouki 32's...

zenki and kouki

converted to english please? lol whats that mean

zenki = early era (89-91)

kouki = late era (92-93)

-D

Edit - fyi they use this zenki/kouki terminology with all jap cars, not just nissans - places like RHD japan use zenki/kouki for their product listings (aka boss kits - like dion said, they have hicas sensors in different places so it makes a difference when you're buying aftermarket gear)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
