R32 Gtst Steering Wheel Question

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)

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
