Aftermarket Steering Wheels

[Beef]

Hey ladz,

just a question,

when everyone else has put on an aftermarket wheel and boss kit, does your stearing go a little stiffer? or not?

if not what would cause mine to go a little harder to stear?

it almost feels like the power stearing isnt working as much anymore..

Cheers

[midnight]

is it a different size? ie smaller? a smaller wheel will make it harder to turn

[Beef]

only slightly...

so i take it no one else has had this problem??

[mad082]

it could be to do with the boss kit.

i wish i could put an aftermarket wheel on but i have an airbag.

also if you are in qld, make sure that the diemeter of the wheel is bigger than 350mm, and not less then 25mm smaller than the stock. they are the legal requirements in qld. not sure about other states though.

I have just put on a new steering wheel and boss kit today but now after about 8-9km driving this dash light comes on... i dont know what it means because there is a little piece missing from my gauges so all i can see is a bulb... but obviously there is meant to be some sign there..

please look at the pics and let me know.. oh and its a 1994 R33 GTS-t

please help

abs light?

might be going off cause you removed the airbag

Thats the handbrake engaged light. Might be used by low brake fluid, or other brake problem to, other then that, the switch for the handbrake might be a tad broken.

Cheers mate!

HICAS light, looks like you havent lined up the sensors when you changed the bosse's over. Did you get the correct Hicas boss kit for your car?

Thats where your problem lies.

Is you HICAS light on now?

Oh too slow...what Atreyu said

i have a momo steering wheel in mine, and it's pretty stiff, feels like the power steering isnt working.. i dunno why.

[Atreyu]

TRUBLSM, same thing as what I said earlier, do a search and you find out all you need to know.

no i didnt get a hicas boss kit.... where can i get one of them from?? do Nissan have Genuine ones? i know i guy in spare parts at Nissan..

no its not the handbrake light, thats up further...

so where can i get a hicas boss kit from?

[Freddy Kruger]

which light you mean? the one on the speedo or the one above the fuel guage?

the one on the speedo is HICAS. as youve said you didnt get a hicas boss for the wheel, so that would be your prob... if its the other light id have to go take a look at mine... if its hand brake light the switch on it might be shagged, not sure if it warns for other probs tho...

oh sorry, yes the red one is my park brake... becuase i stopped and took the photo... but the light im asking about is the big bright yellow one...

how can you tell the difference between the hicas boss kit and a normal one??

after i took the wheel off there was a black thing that span around with 2 legs on it, but i couldnt fit the boss kit on over these legs so i took it off, pics are below, i had to remove this piece to get the boss kit on properly...

what is this piece.. should it have stayed on?? should the boss kit fit over these 2 legs on this black thing?
