hey guys would like to ask for anyone that knows or current and past 32 owners about 32 steering wheels.

i know series 1 and 2 (89-91 and 92-93) r32s have different steering wheels but i need to know if they actually fit properly on each other for example a series 1 32 steering wheel on a series 2 r32.

reason i ask is because i have been looking for a mint 32 steering wheel for my 93 32 and 32 owners know how hard they are to come by in awesome condition so i was looking at getting one from japan. there seems to be a lot of series 1 and gtr steering wheels. Most likely i will be going with a series 1 32 wheel.

so just wondering if the series 1 and gtr steering wheels will fit. if i end up getting a gtr steering wheel and i know it fits, i might just change the button over to a gtst one.

also i know about the hicas light problem but doesn't bother me since i have the light taken out and running a lock bar.

any help appreciated!

i know about the inserts, the series 1 has a round boss behind the wheel where the series 2 has a type of 3 spoked boss which follows the spokes of the wheel.

will the series 1 fit on my 93 model 32 then in saying that?

does it matter? i have been told by a past 32 owner that r31-r34 steering wheels as well as all s13 180sx wheels are interchangeable? but would like to confirm with the skyline community.

pretty confident they are interchangeable, the only difference is the offset for the steering wheel sensor, which will give you HICAS dramas, if your HICAS is still active. (but it sounds like you know about this all ready)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
