Hey guys, searched through these forums, could come up with much to help me....

I bought a new steering wheel... no issues, looked fine. I looked around for a boss kit to suit the s1 33 gts4 (that was an n/a but has turbo bits bolted on) and I could only find stuff for gtst's... so I assume the parts were the same... bought a works bell 622 boss kit to suit an ecr33 gtst with no airbag but with hicas.... as recommended by just jap... and the link is: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...at=0&page=1

and I am really stumped! the box came with the boss adapter, screws and Allan key, and one black wire(shown below) - I assume the horn wire button....

but nothing is fitting right, working right, or anything... please advise!

this is my steering wheel...

and this is the black wire to the horn...

I take off the wheel to find this:(notice the arrow pointing to a small metal point, that I could push on and If I contacted it with my old horn button I could make the horn of the car go off...

now it appears that that this little metal point always used to touch this: (off the original wheel)..so that when u push the horn button it was always contacting waiting for the circuit to be joined...

and the back of this circular thing 1 pic above: the wire is the one the horn button used to attach to...

so now how the HELL am I meant to make this work?! the white plug on the end of this does not appear to fit into anything....

and I cannot attach the boss adapter to the thing above that used to always touch that metal point...

also... where is the stuff to enable hicas?? is it these 3 holes??? (on the bottom of the boss adapter)

and all the instructions are in japanese and there is not much help out there! please someone point me in the right direction??? is this the right boss kit??

Thanks heaps in advance.

      This isn't for lotsa powers, and time and effort isn't even a thing I'm concerned about The whole reason is "Just because fun", and "Just because fun" is what I do And whilst there are other kits, with better and more modern turbos (Rev9 use the same Kraken manifold I believe.....EDIT... nope, the Kraken is a cast jobbie, the REv9 uses welded up stainless, plus $8000 AUD before shipping, installation and tuning) Where else in Sydney can I do a drive in drive out with the after sales support that MX5 Mania give My Turbo 86 made around 200kwatw on a AVO turbo kit that Pulse fitted, and it was over 100kg heavier than the MX5, but it was a blast to drive around the streets, until I crashed it.....DOOH, so somewhere around 200 ish level and some whooshy noises and I'll be happy driving to work, the shops, or heading into the country with Jackie for Devonshire tea So, thanks Dose for your info, it sounds like a 0.64 will be fine for what I'm after👍 The only real racing I do nowadays is to the toilet

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
