It appears the bosskit I bought is not HICAS compatible and the trial fit yesterday didn't go well at all.

I cannot find a suitable bosskit (justjap only have R33 ones for example, not R32), the two prongs (one has the horn wire attached to it) are directly opposite each other on the little slidey ring bit behind the stock boss, anyone know of a specific boss kit that will fit/work?

Just to muddy the water a bit for you. the r32 gtst boss changed between early and late as the steering angle sensor and indicator switch position changed. I think early has the key at about 45 degrees off vertical and the late has it vertical from memory.

Yeah I noticed that from another thread which is why I said the prongs on mine are directly opposite (i.e. 6 & 12 or whatever). Car is a '90 model if that helps.. really I'm looking for someone who has the same year/model and has bought a bosskit that fits so they can point me in the right direction :ermm:

C'mon, someone must have an aftermarket steering wheel with a HICAS boss kit on their R32?! If you have one with the keys directly opposite (not 45deg off like Dave mentioned), where did you get it? what brand and/or part number? Cheers!

I run an early model specific hkb in a late model gtst. With hicas locked it only effects the indicator stalk. I've been meaning to remove it and mod the boss for a while now as it looks like a pretty simple job, just a bit of sheet aluminium and a couple of self tappers will do it.

My horn stopped working too, so i really should get onto that before rego...

I got a generic boss kit with my wheel from GKTech, as far as I'm aware there's no difference between GTSt and GTR, only series 1 & 2 (not even sure that series 2 is the cutout for when it changed).

R33 one won't work will it?

Got a part number for the boss Dave? sounds like you have the one I need :)

Unfortunately the box for my boss is sitting in storage atm so it is a bit difficult for me to get it. I have to start carting stuff back down there shortly though so i can have a look then and see if there's anything written on the box.

How do you know your hkb kit is early r32gtst specific?

I mean do they have a late r32gtst kit.

The hkb ones on ebay for gtr and gtst are listed seperately.

It shows it on the box.

Yes, there is a late model specific one aswell.

I didn't consider the indicators and my hicas is locked so bought the early model one as it was on the shelf thinking it would make no difference.

I'm 90% sure the last HKB I bought for my GTST had holes for the prongs and 6 and 12 and at 4 and 10 or whatever the other position is. either way it would fit both early and late 32 GTSTs. I will see if I still have the box somewhere.

The hkb part no. for r32gtst on ebay is ON110

Does anyone know if this fits early or late or both?

      Rb25det Belts Change

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au

      Series 2 R33 GTS25T?

      By Skip33 · Posted

      Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5

      I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
