Hey guys, just bought a R34 GT-T. Previous owner had some issues with the steering wheel horn, which I believe he said comes down to the wiring in the steering wheel? He added a small push button on the dash as a horn. I have the “AIR BAG” light constantly flashing on the dash, but he says the airbag was checked and is still functional, just to fix the horn in the steering wheel it would require alot of work or replacing the steering wheel as new which can be pricey. Has anyone else had a similar issue and fixed it?

I guess they were trying to say the "clock spring" failed, it is the electronic part that let you have wiring in a wheel that turns connected to a steering column that doesn't. The steering wheel airbag won't be working (there will be a procedure you can check with the flashing light to confirm)

You can get the specific part number for your car from one of the parts sites like amayama using your VIN#, it will vary depending on model, air bag system, cruise control or not etc. The part lives between the steering wheel and the column. Repair isn't difficult but brand new part is pricey if you can't find second hand

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
