Just Fitted A S1 R33 Steering Wheel To My R32... Now Im Pissed Off,

[blackprincegts]

Ok, i bought what i think isa s1 r33 steering wheel, looks quite similar to an r32 m spec one..

Anyway, it bolts up ok and looks wicked compared to my completely torn type s steering piece ov crap i had b4.. The way in which the horn operates in the new wheel is different from how it operates in the old wheel.. The standard setup used like a little brass button that brushed up against a metal plate connected to the steering wheel. This brass button has 12volts goen through it obviously.

I know its pretty damn hard to give me any good answers without photos and if i get no replies ill try and get some photos posted up here to explain better.

Bassically i ran a 12volt from the column into the steering wheel, the horn then worked so i putit back 2gether and went for a drive.. Stupid me didnt think that as soon as i turned the wheel the wire would snap.

Does anyone know how im supposed to get 12v's accros to the horn button now?? going by the photos iv seen on the net of gtr steering wheels it seems they are designed the same way as this 33 one iv got..

Thanks for any help.. Believe me it would be appreciated cos i need my horn to work...

oh and indicator doenst turn off after exiting corners now but i know thats a normal problem to have when switching wheels and i might be able to fix that..

They usually have a circular strip of metal that is constantly in contact with the button as you turn the wheel.

You could always get a R32 GTR wheel which is also similar to the ones you speak of and at a guess would fit up easier than an R33 one does...

yeah that circular strip of metal you mentioned is what my old one has. The only reason i got this steering wheel was because i gotit for really cheap and i thought i would be able to make it work..Im low on cash but wanted something that looks good 2. All i gotta do is get the horn to work and ill be happy with it..

I find it strange that the r33 one doesnt have that circular strip ov metal because i cant figure out any other way of them getting contant power accross to the wheel... Wierd.
