R32 Boss Kit Help - Pics

[DjeMz]

hey all

im trying to install a gk tech boss kit and i cant seem to figure out what to do next..

i took the factory steering wheel off, dissconected the wire to the horn, now if i try and put the boss kit on, it hits the 2 peices of plastic sticking out.. (picture 1)

if i take that whole section out ( picture 2) what are all them electrics for?

I have a hicas lock bar.

Cheers

They look like the indicator cancellers. The boss kit usually has its own horn wiring. Make sure you have the correct kit for your exact car with the same factory additions. I have a BNR32 and i didnt have any problem with the cancellers, infact i dont even remember seeing them.

Maybe search for the instructions online if you dont have any.

do i really need the whole indicator click back thing? apart for a roady (which ill put the standard wheel on) im not to fussed..

i just want to make sure its just that and not something else...

i thought maybe it was something to do with hicas, but i have locked mine already so i dont think it will matter if i remove that thing or not

[Jmaac]

Aside that black box for your indicator stalk, the rest im pretty sure is the HICAS steering position sensor. If you remove it you'll just get the HICAS light on the dash which wont matter if you've put a lock bar in anyway

[Duncan]

yeah its the hicas sensor.

only problem is if you remove it, you will loose your horn as well - it passes through the current from the horn switch as well

[DjeMz]

hrmmm

as long as i dont loose power steering (as some ppl said they did with some boss kits)

what are my options? give the boss kit back n get one that will fit this?

or just dissconnect it all and re-wire the horn somehow?

[Mark_McQ]

You can get Hicas bosses. They have two gaps on the back that the Hicas sensor and horn connector sit inside.

[Jmaac]

yeah just exchange it for a hicas boss if you plan to take the lock bar out at some stage. Not much in the price difference i would assume

[Jmaac]

oh yeah wont affect your power steering

[noone]

Wow just found this does this mean if I remove hicas IE. lock bar and pull the control box I will loose my horn

dont be rude now

Removed all the hicas a while back and have now found my horn wont work, fairly sure it did before.

Will have to try plugging the hicas computer beck in an see if my horn works????

[Jmaac]

Wont help, you'll have to modify the s/wheel to make it work

[noone]

okay just refound this thread an am at home so can try mucking around with this this arvo

what you mean by modify the s/wheel to make it work

pretty sure the relay for the horn still clicks when the horn button is pushed

an am still using the stock wheel

[noone]

yep can confirm plugging the HICAS computer back in just brings up the fault light

Anyone know how to modify to get the horn to work feeling like I have missed something obvious

[BHDave]

so thats why my horn isn't working?

I installed the wheel before ripping out all the redundant hicas crap (i think) and my horn worked. Surely that isn't the reason for no horn now that it's all gone???

I still have the hicas box in the back, just nothing else.

Admittedly i haven't actually tried to find the fault, just pulled the button off to make sure it's connected still.

[noone]

Sounds about the level of my investigations thus far, that an plugging the HICAS back in an that dont seem to work

strangely dont remember it ever being mentioned in an HICAS discussion before?

will let u know what I find need the damn thing for rego!!!!

[dori34]

no need to rip out the hicas sensor on the back.

you can still manage to get the indicators & horn working perfectly normal.

pretty straight forward and i had no problems fitting the GK tech boss kit to a r32 gtst!

refer to my tutorial

i wrote one on sau.com but that has to be approved first before anyone can see it so here is the link i poted on ns.com

maybe i got the wrong boss kit? coz i cant physically fit the boss kit on the steering wheel collum thingy...

maybe im tripping, ill have a look tomorrow..

whyte do u have a picture of the boss kit (front and back)

[dori34]

thanks djemz lol

pics of the boss kit (front & back) can be seen in my tutorial.

step #5 shows the back of the boss kit (well sorta) but you can see how it would look.

step #7 shows the front

i think its best if you post up a pic of your boss kit dj and ill tell you if its wrong or not.

cheers
