Porsche 959 - It only took Nissan 20 years to catch up.

Best Performance Engine '08

Porsche 3.6-litre turbo (911 Turbo, 911 GT2)

Hey 200, not related to the topic, but interested in your little blurb about Porsche's at the bottom of your posts. Now I am new to this forum so I suppose you've spoken about this before. I'm actually a bit of a Porsche afficianado (have many copies of British publications, GT-Purely Porsche and 911 & Porsche World in my study), but I was wondering in what context is Nissan 20 years behind the 959? Don't get me wrong i love the 959 (although the running costs I've read are simply staggering- provided you can find someone willing to lay their spanners on it), but I assume that this this is in the context of a 4wd twin-turbo sports car? or have I missed something?

I thought the 959 made production in 1985 and R32 GT-R made an appearance in 1989, that if I'm not mistaken is only four years not 20. Another really interesting bit of trivia, when Jeremy Clarkson drove the first R32 Skyline GT-R he made direct reference to the 959, something about "making the 959 look like it came out for the design studio of Freddy Flinstone". I was taken aback a little bit and I know JC embelishes a bit but there must be some truth to it. At the end of the day you could probably BUY an R32 GT-R for the cost of a major service on a 959, is it really that much better than the Nissan?.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
