I don't know for sure but it looks very similar to what was on my previous VS Commodore with airbag. If that's the case, then the whole front panel should come off with a couple of screws holding it down from behind. After the steering column should be visible, just undo the nut and use a puller to get the wheel off.

Oh, disconnect the airbag wire before you do all this, you don't want it exploding in your face!

You should disconnect the battery before to starting to make sure the airbag doesn't go off in your face!

Also if you're planning on fitting an aftermarket steering wheel and boss (and your car has HICAS /ABS) then you'll need one that is suitable for HICAS equiped cars...

Wish I could take my steering wheel off and take a closer look at it.

Everytime that I turn my wheel more than about 90 degree's its like their is a loose bolt or something inside and it feels from the bottom to the top then as i turn my wheel back it falls from the top back down to the bottom again and it really annoys me.

i got that problem

thats y i want to get the cover off so i can fix it

it just started making that sound some 4months ago

and last weekend i said enough is enough

ive found wat the problem is

seem like a rod that runs across whell that has 2 turning things on each side and its loose or something and that why when u turn it at specific point it making that dong sound

only problem is i cant get cover between steering wheel off to have a proper look

might take it to my mechanics later in week and get them to fix it if no one else can help us with this issue

Im not sure about the air bag wheel but on a non airbag wheel the front horn button cover just pulls off, there may be some screws behind the wheel to remove the airbag mechanisim just look behind

The most common steering wheel rattle is the horn button plastic ring broken caused by bashing on the horn to hard.

Yep, vouch for the horn cover thing...just posted a question in the Vic Forum regarding that.

I have non airbag, took one screw out, phillips head, from behind the steering wheel...then just pulled..as with most Plastic parts on the skyline it just clips out. The screw was really annoying to undo because you can't see behind there, and it's a small screw but a big hole...(no phallic intentions)

I had an annoying rattling in the steering wheel when I turned corners and it was the plastic thingy behind the horn pad, it must be really fragile beacause I hardly use the horn. I removed all five pieces it had broken into and now all is well, but I can't find a new one...

hey guys,

i replaced mine at autosport (i think thats what it was called, in kirrawee). the one thats affiliated with just jap. the guy there took the wheel off, replaced with my after market one and re-wired the horn at a very good rate.

the main issue with the one i had (series 1 with air bag) was that there are 2 little screws on the column itself (you have to pop the cap things off it before you can see the screws, use a little key or something). the screw was a weird star shape (apparently common for skylines) but mine was worse coz it had another little hole thing as well (very hard to describe).

but all the guy at autosport did was get some tool he had and removed the wheel... etc etc. i dont think you can use any std type of screw driver.

hope this helps,

i know wat to do as i did this just a few weeks ago....there are star shape style allen keys thing right...they are gold in colour....go to a tool shop and get a T50 size key or adaptor.....remeber its a star shape and u need it to have a hole in the middle for the bit that sticks out.......i didnt need to worry about airbag going off cos it already did in accident :)....if u need anymore help just let me know

fixed

i was going about it the wrong way

all u need to do is

get t50 screw, i tryed few shops like bursons etc

i wouldnt reccommend wasting ur time as they only sell them in a set and there like from $40

i went to my mechanics and borrowed theres

all u do is take 2 rubber panel covers of side of wheel

unbolt 2 gold screwa with t50

cover will come off

look and find problem

should be big block of metal with little rubber handles holding it

if u can fix it do that or just break it off like i did and problem solved

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
