hi guys and gals,

I need some input from you'll. Could someone recommend me to a auto technician preferbly in the SE suburbs who knows their skylines. I need some wiring done on my steering wheel. Seems like the wiring to my horn is stuffed or sumfin. I tried to do a search but turned up nufin or i'm just retarded. Also I did msg Danny aka Autotrust but unfortunately he is quite bz at the moment so all the help is appreciated guys & gals. :(

do they actually do auto electrical stuff tho??

Are they qualified auto electricians? or do they sub contract that stuff to other people?

i personally wouldnt have a clue who to take it to around here for that sort of thing.

I actually have no idea what they do for electrical stuff. If it's just a horn playing up, i'd be inclined to get the multimeter out and screw drivers and start pulling things apart. It's amazing how much you learn by braking things then TRYING to repair them! hahaha

Did you check the fuse?? hehe. that'd suck if you took it in and it was just a fuse or something...

sorry guys for the late reply, been bz moving house. Well the wiring to the horn is some how too long or too short, every time i turn the steering full circle it gets disconnected from the socket. Obviously the guy the installed my MOMO steering is clueless, so i am not taking it back to him. And i already took out the wheel, i found that he had cut all wires in there! WTF??? including the ones to my airbag.. what a tosser, so pissed right now!

so guys any recommendations? i need to get it done ASAP, driving in the city without a horn is murder.

call up Autlec in clayton just off wellington road near scorptec computer store.

i've used them before and was happy with the service. My mechanic also uses them for auto electrical issues.

If you have your steering changed over to an aftermarket one, don't you need to have some sort of boss kit or something, so it doesn't mess up your airbags and other stuff? I know you can get adaptors for aftermarket steering wheels... Maybe you just need one of them installed.

skypy12: thanks a lot bro, will give them a call soon.

moomoo: hhhmmm... yes i have a boss kit, but the wiring has all been cut off inside the console connecting the steering n boss kit. and what are these adapters r u talking about? never heard of them... got a pic?

I think the boss kit and adaptor might be the same thing. I don't really know coz my steering wheel is stock. Maybe give autobarn a call, coz if you needed anything else they'd know coz they sell the steering wheels etc.

If the wiring is all cut up, then that's obviously going to stop it from working. If you get someone to fix the wiring, I'm sure they'd know if you need anything else to get it working properly.

cheers!

your airbag has to be removed to fit the aftermarket steering wheel. I believe the reason why the installer cut your airbag wires becos your airbag has been removed. Thats the disadvantage of having an aftermarket wheel.

If you have some spare wires lying around, to extend the horn cable, all you have to do is cut it and attach spare wire to it.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
