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.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
