dont take the nut all the way off when i changed my wheel . i tryed beating the back of the old wheel but it didnt budge so with a mate i sat in the drivers seat and jiggled on the wheel while my mate tapped the shaft with a hammer and a bit of timber

thanks jay, I'll give that a shot right now....

the steering wheel is on there pretty stuckly, hope it doesn't bend or damage any parts while trying to force the wheel off though...:-(

if anyone has some first hand experience taking the wheel off without tools (steering wheel puller), let me know how you did it!

cheers

i didn't do my r33 one.. but in the r31 i remember it was a real bitch..

WD40 helped a fair bit.. then just got a big hammer and bashed from the other side a stack. Light taps and then big bashes. Took nearly 40 mins of bashing and swearing. I didn't really like what it was doing to the steering column either but seems to be fine.

Tends to mangle the old wheel though.

i had a bitch of a time trying to take my standard wheel off as well.... you just gotta give it a knock here and there to loosen and break the old glue.... keep giviing it hard yanks till you get it off.

but its all worth it when you get the MOMO on.... trust me :P

that guys for all your imput!

I finally got the wheel off today, after trying everything i/we could think of, I just started pulling really hard and pulled the wheel left then right and after a minute or so....wham, off it came. what a relief!

and yeah, the momo looks awesome. a little bit wierd driving with a smaller wheel, but better! :-)

cheers

I used a gear puller and it took me about 10 minutes to take my wheel off, turn my boss kit around so the wheel would be straight, and then put my wheel back on.

Having the right tools make it so easy. :P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
