Hi Skyliner's ... 

I have a question, maybe you can help me out here... ? 

I used to be A authorised Nissan workshop and had Fast at the time, but I cant seem to get fast working with Win. 10. Also we are located in Denmark so we have the european disc for Fast. Anyway... 

I have this R32 / chassis nr: BNR32-013497 from 12/1990 , an "early" model. 

It is imported from Malaysia, and came with a nissan GTR steering wheel - I noticed when driving for some time 20 minutes or so, that the steering jumped - no Hicas light came on - but the rear wheel turned slightly when it was supposed to be straight. 

checked the Hicas with a Nissan Consult II tester - No faults but read 153 degres to the left on steering angel sensor when the steering wheel was straight,

I took the steering wheel off, and yes it was the new type with the holes at 12 & 6. 

when I lign the steering angel sensor up with the middle point of the neutral signal it of course lines up at 1 & 6 o'clock. 

So I have the "early" type of steering angel sensor and the new type steering wheel...

I have looked at some parts catalog pages, and seemed to have found that the early steering angel sensor should 

be part number: 28475-01U00 or alternative number: B8475-01U00. (there are no number readable on the sensor equipped)

The Question is I think I have found the later version of steering angel sensor equipped from 09/1991 -  models 

wich should have the number 28475-01U11 or alternative number:  B8475-01U11. 

Do you know if this number are for an sensor with alignment 12/6 o'clock and does it fit on the car with the early version´s ?

Cause Nissan europe cant confirm this for me.

If I could buy the new type sensor that fits the steering wheel, then I can get the Hicas working with the steering wheel at the right position, right now I drive around with the steering wheel turned 153 degrees and the Hicas works superb.   

Hope you have the answer for this - best regards Lars.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
