I am going to try relocating my horn to a button on my dash, since after installing my quick release kit I cant get the damn horn wires and the actual horn to fit in its hole. Just wondering where I would find the wires so I can hook them up to a momentary button???

Ummm aren't you basically answering your own question?

You said you can't get the horn wires to fit in the hole for your steering wheel. Then use that wire? Trace it back to it's postion in the loom and join into that

Well I cant use the ones in the steering wheel cause i cant loop them to the dash obviously. In the hub adapter this is one wire, is this a power wire? I guess i am going to have to take the whole boss kit off to get to the wire then.

Yeah easiest way to do it. Pull the steering column surround and steering wheel/boss kit off and try and locate the wire on the loom.

Run that wire to button. Earth the other side to chassis.

Do you have a photo of what the actual problem is? Not sure what the problem is that's causing it not to fit in the first place. Or is the horn button to loose?

EDIT: Ahhh never mind. Re-read the first post and it makes sense now. Hopefully won't be to hard to locate the horn power wire when you can see everything

Yeah thanks. The button just pushes on but there is so little room behind, the wires just spring back and push the button back out. Stupid quick release kit needs more room. I thought about not having a horn, but out of the 2 days of driving without a horn I dont think I could live without it since there are so many bad drivers out there!

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
