hi, just wondering if anyone has done this, putting a GTST/GTS4 steering wheel into a 89 Ti R31 sedan? I already have a steering wheel but am wondering if I need a boss kit fo r it?

I know I could just rip the old one off and try it but would rather do it once and have all the bits I need when I do it.

any help would be great

I had an R32 GTR wheel in my 89 R31 Exec. the indicators didn't cancel themselves - that may have just been because the stupid plastic bits had worn down - I can't remember now. But it never bothered me because the same thing had happened to the standard wheel anyway, so I was used to cancelling the indicators myself.

The indicators never cancel in my r31 which has an aftermarket steering wheel. But my mates r31 with a standard steering wheel never cancelled either so I assumed it was an r31 thing. But anyway you get used to it.

Just try putting it on. It will only take less than 5 mins to find out if its gunna fit or not. If it doesn't then you need a boss kit of some sort.

cause that a gt passage which is high jap quality

the other ones are crappy aussie quality and everything breaks or falls apart of gets damaged really bad by the sun

therefore the indicators dont cancel by themselves

every r31 i have been in has not had the indicators cancel by themselves

Don't blame the cars... blame the owners. :P

We've got 3 R31's in the driveway, 2 of them have aftermarket steering wheels, and the indicators work as they should in all 3.

My memory isn't the greatest but I seem to recall looking at a 32 wheel and deciding it wouldn't work at all with my existing indicator switches. Have you guys used the 32 switches, I thought the wiring plugs didn't go together. What is involved? I'm still usin my standard wheel, still about 1-2 notches on the spline crooked from when I put it back on, damn I'm lazy...

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
