You're very gifted in what you do Pete, along with your knowledge in plastics :yes:

I've been extremely impressed at how you made up from scratch, these hexagonal caps for my LMGT4 GT500 wheels below! :wub:

In fact, you were meticulous! :wub:

Thanks Terry and guys.

Steering wheel is from a S15, air bag is from a R34 manual as is the clock spring to run the electrics for the crusie control.

Switches on the S/wheel are from a R34 auto.

ARTZ thats a nice piece of work also.

I wanted to keep the aircon vent sensor so I had to move it over to the left from where the boost guage sits now.

The cruise control unit its self is an aftermarket unit but I didnt want to put the extra control arm on my steering column surround as there is no real space for it.

Wiper side you cant see it and if you try and mount it on the blinker side arm the instructions are upside down.

I found a factory unit on a four door auto non Hicas R33 and tried to take it out but the wiring was a total nightmare.

It was wiried through the auto and had its own computer to run it.

As well as this it doesnt have the same clock spring arrangement like a Hicas fitted car but disc under the steering wheel to transfer the signals from the factory cruse switch on the original wheel.

I then striped the after market control arm ran off/on wires from it to the original dash switch and wires to the R34 clock spring wiring.

I reconfigured the auto switches so that left side is the SET/COAST function and the right side is the ACCELERATE/RESUME function.

Thats a shortened version of how I did it and let me say it was all b%$tard to figure out !

RB2600 - Nope wasnt me the Nismo guage ! But I got a spare one if you are interested !

sonicz - The bottons on the right turn the cruise unit off and on and the folding mirror switches are are next to them.

You cant see it because the angle of the photo hides it behind the steering wheel !

And all the R33s Ive seen have had them !

Looks very cool and professional. What are all those buttons on the right? Cruise control, fog lamps? where is your mirror adjustment knobs.

Are electric foldable mirrors a rare option on r33s?

Thought they were standard? Think all the 33's I've seen have had it. They were all turbo so not sure if that made a difference

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
