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

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

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.

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?

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
