After replacing my steering wheel r34 gtt, the indicators still stay on after turning. I barely even moved the clock spring, maybe a few degrees up and down. Does anybody know the exact procedure to realign the clock spring? Thanks

I think from memory you gently rotate it one way until it stops, then you rotate it in the opposite direction( taking note of the alignment triangles as they pass each other ) counting the number of rotations until  it stops again. Then divide the number by 2 and rotate it back again that number and line up the two triangles and your done.

I tried that, it didn’t work. It was 5.5 full revolutions from one side to the other. So I spun it 2.75 revolutions and aligned both the arrows. 
does the clock spring have a fuse by any chance?

Bro I went to someone I know and got it sorted for peanuts. Inside the clock spring there is also another green plastic thing you need to align too, and I did not know that.  I was just aligning the black face of the clock spring . I feel like an idiot

How did they fix it? Writing here just incase I need to do this. I thought you're never supposed to rotate the clockspring because it can brake the wires inside or is this relating to the steering angle sensor?

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
