it may be stuck on a fair bit unfortunately.. try and lube it with WD40 in there.. and try jiggling back and forth with small motions.

Otherwise what I would be doing (and I often take the dodgy brutal approach) is to drop the steering column as far as possible, get a bar behind it to sit facing the front (this is for my last one, it had a sort of frame structure).. and bash behind using a hammer.. small taps might be enough.

Yes, there is a sticker in there usually that says "do not use force", it may damage your steering, etc. But it never has on the last car.

once u unscrew the centre bolt (dont unscrew completely, leave it sitting there, just wind back a few times), then re-attach your momo steering wheel.

then start yanking. leaving the centre bolt on will ensure that when you finally yank it off the steering wheel won't hit you in the face.

also spraying WD40 at the centre nut may help a bit. when yanking back the whole steering wheel just becareful not to hurt your back, i hurt my back a bit due to pulling back too hard, but maybe i'm just getting old...

Never met a steering wheel I couldn't remove by anything other than gentle side-to-side jiggling of the wheel.

The R32s have reach, as well as height, adjustment of the steering column - are the R33s the same?

Take off steering wheel..

Now, undo center bolt, or as suggested undo it until its nearly at the end of its thread so it prevents you knocking yourself out (unless that sounds fun to you).

Now put the steering wheel *back* onto the boss, putting back the screws that attach it so its as it was (just with the center nut loose)

Now using the wheel as a kind of puller itself just keep yanking it forward, jiggling it, etc - and eventually it should pop off.. once you've got it loose, take off the steering wheel again, remove center nut, remove boss, and away you go.

It went on, it has to come off!!

Have you put the wheel back onto the boss?

Grab the wheel at "quarter to three", now jiggle back and forth while pulling towards you. Otherwise, PM me where you are, I'll try and get around to help you.

Just had a thought - how are you "jiggling" the wheel? If it's like you're steering the car, then the wheel is never going to come off. You need to jiggle back and forth along the axis of the steering column, ie pull up on one edge and push down on the other, then reverse that, all the while generally pulling the wheel towards you.

Clear as mud? Good!

You need to undo the nut, but as the others said, leave the nut on a tad. Leave the steering wheel on with all hex bolts still connected to the boss kit.

Ball you hands up into fists and bash with the outer part of the steering wheel really quickly with both hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock, making it vibrate. You need to loosen the bond between the spline of the column shaft and the boss kit.

Then go ahead and try and reef/wiggle the steering wheel off. This is an assured way of removing the steering wheel!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
