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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
