HKB boss kit (what is this part?)

Hi! I Just recieved my new Personal Neo Grinta steering wheel today and a HKB Hicas sports III non airbag hub (ON-177) to my Skyline r33 gtst series1. I think I have figured out were everything goes except for one thing. Can someone here tell me what this part is and where it goes? im referring to the small silver ring to the right in the picture. The bigger one to the left I believe is a horn adapter? I have googled for hours but didn't find anything about this smaller ring.

So If anyone here have a indentical Boss kit or can tell me what it is i'll be happy.

Thanks.

It might be a washer, but in other hkb boss kits it's not included. This ring only seems to come with the non airbag boss kit?

This is were im at currently. Is it not suposed to have a connection somewhere for the horn? Guess it dosen't matter though because I have my hornbutton on the dash.

Also haven't seen anyone changed their non airbag skyline r33 steering wheel so can't really tell if somethings missing?

But should the clock spring even look like that on an r33? :O There is nothing to it, How will the hicas know my steering input?

I may ad that my steering goes randomly Heavy sometimes, even before i changed my steering Wheel. When this happens if I turn the car off and on again usually the steering goes light again.

It looks like you are missing half of the steering angle sensor assembly. When you take the wheel off, there should be a plastic hub that rotates on the part in your photo. The plastic hub has a part that protrudes and engages the boss kit, when the steering wheel turns, the plastic hub turns (obviously there are contacts etc inside it that rotate on the rings that are shown in your photo).

Is it possible that a previous owner or someone that has worked on the car has broken the hub and just thrown it back together? It will definitely not work how it is. Unless the other half is still on the steering wheel?

Here's the part diagram out of FAST, it shows what I'm talking about. It has a plug in it for the horn and the bit that spins with the boss kit

Thank you! 

Yes it must be a previous owner, because I definitely dosen't have that part! So can I just buy a new steering angle sensor and replace it? What suprises me though is that my steering has been fine for the most part. My hicas bulb has also been removed so can't see if the light stays on or not.

I changed my steering wheel to a MOMO one years ago from a factory one and while I was away at tafe it used to play up on the highway after 5 mins of driving. The light came on but I don't think anything really happened to the way it drove.

I had put the right boss kit on but it had a few different slots etc cut into it and hadn't put it on the right way, So all I had to do was move it to the right spot and it was fine. I would go to an import wrecker or phone one and get a second hand part, I bet a new one would cost heaps lol. I can look how much it is when I'm home

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
