Hey all , I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction in finding the correct aftermarket steering wheel hub for my car. I have a 93 (so late model) R32 GTST coupe with Hicas. I’ve already tried 2 different HKB hubs which were ON-110 and ON-115 and both are 1 notch off from top dead center so they keep throwing my Hicas light. Does anybody know which HKB hub is the right one for my specific car? Also fine with a different brand hub if anybody knows what will work, just want my wheel to be straight and my light to stay off lol

I'm confused by "one notch off from top dead centre". If you rotate it one notch is HICAS happy?

If so, I think the issue is more likely your tie rods have been set unevenly in a previous alignment, so put the boss on straight and get the alignment checked.

It won't be an issue with a nissan style boss being wrong, there are billions of cars running them with no problem

@Duncan don’t believe it’s alignment or suspension related because my oem wheel sits perfectly straight and my car doesn’t pull one way or the other and with the oem wheel Hicas is indeed happy. What I’m referring to is the hubs I have always want to slide on to the steering column splines either one notch to the left or one notch to the right instead of sliding on straight like the oem wheel. From what info I have found , it seems the early model year 32’s and the later model year’s have a different number of teeth on the spline so I believe that is the problem, I’m just not sure which hub will have the right tooth count to match my steering column.

Not possible for the spline count to be different and put the wrong one on.

Is your hub actually capturing the steering angle sensor drive tab? Not putting it on upside down or otherwise clocked wrongly?

Fair point, maybe it’s not the number of teeth that’s different but the orientation of them? I mean I’m going by the arrow labeled “top” on the hubs when I try to line it up so don’t think it could be going on upside down. I saw a chart someone made a while back that showed what different boss hubs supposedly fit all of the different 32 models and variants but I can’t find the damn thing and it was kind of confusing hence why I probably bought the wrong one. When I have it apart again I can post pictures to help explain.

Ok after looking at DriftWorks site it appears the ON-110 I tired is for an earlier model year and the ON-115 they have labeled as GTR specific, so I’m going to give ON-112 a try as the description they give says it’s for late model skylines with Hicas. Fingers crossed , had no clue so many different variants of hub existed.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
