Changing Steering Wheel On R33

I've got an R33 4 Door and I've bought a new steering wheel to replace the old one (it's worn out pretty badly). It doesn't have an airbag and doesn't have cruise control so I figured it should be an easy swap over.

Anyway, I've never changed one before so I thought I should ask a few questions before trying. First of all, what do I have to do to get the old one off? The new wheel has 6 small holes in a circle on the back. I'm assuming thats how it bolts on? The horn pad itself doesn't seem to come off, so I guess there's a way to do it all from behind?

Thanks

Thanks. I thought as much so I'll get onto that.

In regards to taking the old wheel off, can anyone guide me through it?

u prolly need to pull the horn cover off the old one and under there somewhere will be a nut which fastenes it to the steering shaft. u will most likely need a power drill or similar to take it off u can get ones that plug into ur cig lighter and do the job pretty well. then its basically bolt ur boss kit up n mount the wheels u will also prolly need to run for the horn one wire to ur new center buttin tab and then another to a ground somewhere but im sure u will work it out.

Not to flame but I still have nfi why people replace a steering with with an airbag to the one without? :angry:

He also said that it doesnt have one so that may be a reason...

You can pick up a steering wheel puller from supercheap auto or some place like that for like $20. Also make sure!!! that your wheels are super super straight otherwise when you drive of your wheel will be wonky and no one likes a wonky wheel

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
