Hey guys i was wondering if anyone has had this problem?

I was driving yesterday and then i started hearing a rattle in the stearing wheel when i turned it.. I took the middle bit off and had a look there to see if there was anything looks, but there wasnt. it almost sounds like its on the thin bit round the outside of the wheel....

Anyone know what i should do ?

yup i had this

theres a peice of plastic that sits between the skin and the horn button, mine had somehow shattered into 1inch shards and they would rattle and clunk around whenever i turned a corner.

I found the cause when i removed my old wheel to put a new momo on. after i removed the front cover and looked inside it i could see all the bits sliding around.

ApleX,

It's no biggie really.

Mine had been making little sounds for ages of the plastic moving around etc, and I didn't bother with it until my Hicas light started coming on.

Took it apart and found that the small plastic bits had been interfering with the optical signal going through the little slots of the sensor shown above.

Just shook the bits out of the sensor etc etc.

All good.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
