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.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
