Steering weel, Turbo timer, Gearbox


Recommended Posts

Hey Fellas.

Hopefully some 1 here will b able to help me out with these minor annoyances.

(you know this little things that annoy the hell out of u but u cant b bothered to look in to them to much)

i own a 1995 r33 with 72 000kms

First off tonight i was driving home and my stering weel started making a clicking noise when i turned it, it also made slight rattles when i went over bumps. The car still handles fine but its getting really annoying, could this be a loose skrew it sounds like something inside under the horn pusher thingo its hard to explain sorry, i would get a new steering weel but its got an air bag. any suggestions what this might be, and how to fix it ?

Secondly my turbo timer decides sometimes not to run for the full 60 secs or not to run at all this dosnt happen too often but it been happening more lately, also sometimes it turns off when i push my alarm button to lock the car... wtf ??

Finnaly: i think this is a sincro mesh problem but my gear box crunches when i go into 2nd, as the oil warms up it dosnt do it as much and if you are gentle with it sometimes it dosnt do it at all. Does this sound like sincro or a totaly ****ed gearbox ?

Any feedback on these problems would be sweet, i cant sleep at night :cheers: knowing my friggin steering weel ***en clicks when i turn it. Sorry im obcessed

Mate their was a clicky streering wheel thread a while ago and they said all it was was a couple of loose screws that you can get to behind the steering wheel.

As for the gearbox - everyones got their crunches.... they just hide it really good with Redline Lightweight Shockprook g/box oil. Thats about all you can do.

    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
