hey guys sorry but im a fair n00b to this site, and im also a n00b when it comes to skylines, any ways a couple of days ago i picked up my first car, a 93/94 R33 gts-t

and i'm still learning a fair bit about it, anyways getting to the point.....

the stock steering wheel is extreamly ugly and worn so i decided to take a trip down to autobarn and pick up a new steering wheel, its a nice Autotecnica one, and i asked for a boss kit, the guy behind the counter dicked around for ages looking up codes in his product book unitl he found the code for the boss kit, looked on his computer and saw he had none in stock, however the nearest autobarn from this one did, so i took a trip down there and picked it up

got home and took me ages getting the stock steering wheel off, turns out it doesnt fit my steering wheel, but fits the car fine, well atleast i think it does.... i unpluged this wad of cables going into this little black box the size of a matchbox from my stock steeringwheel because it was in the way of the new boss kit going on... and also had to remove this square thin box with wires such as the horn etc in that had a hole in it and fitted over the spline.... so not only does my boss kit not work, but i have no idea what all thsoe wires were ... can someone help me out?

im lost :P

thanks

Gday,

Welcome to SAU.

I can't help with your boss kit etc as I don't know if it's the right one and I personally don't shop at autobarn :rofl:

Some of those wires however should be your horn. There are 2 of them for that.

The rest may perhaps be an airbag, and I'm not sure but I think HICAS cars also have some wiring there? Although someone more knowledgable may correct me on that.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
