Hey guys, this is my first post here, so i'll introduce myself.

I'm Ben, from Vic. I turn 18 July 31st and i'm booked in for my P's!

I have a Nissan Skyline Executive 89-90(?) model. I've just got it back from a roadworthy today and all is well. But i'm interested in replacing the steering wheel.

I've found a second hand one that i want - I can post pictures if that'll help, i'm just wondering what i'll need to replace the wheel?

Thanks :D

if its an aftermarket wheel you will need to buy a boss kit that will adapt from the spline on the steering column to the bolt pattern for the wheel.

a picture would help confirm if this is needed or not.

Hey Craved, here's a picture of the back of the wheel. How much are boss kits? Can they be purchased instore? Or online?

Also, you may need a steering wheel puller to remove your old one, also available at Supercheap etc. Do you have a torque wrench and sockets? You'll need that to remove the old one and fit the boss kit as well. Also make sure your WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT when you are putting the wheel on! Common noob mistake!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
