Hey all , I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction in finding the correct aftermarket steering wheel hub for my car. I have a 93 (so late model) R32 GTST coupe with Hicas. I’ve already tried 2 different HKB hubs which were ON-110 and ON-115 and both are 1 notch off from top dead center so they keep throwing my Hicas light. Does anybody know which HKB hub is the right one for my specific car? Also fine with a different brand hub if anybody knows what will work, just want my wheel to be straight and my light to stay off lol

I'm confused by "one notch off from top dead centre". If you rotate it one notch is HICAS happy?

If so, I think the issue is more likely your tie rods have been set unevenly in a previous alignment, so put the boss on straight and get the alignment checked.

It won't be an issue with a nissan style boss being wrong, there are billions of cars running them with no problem

@Duncan don’t believe it’s alignment or suspension related because my oem wheel sits perfectly straight and my car doesn’t pull one way or the other and with the oem wheel Hicas is indeed happy. What I’m referring to is the hubs I have always want to slide on to the steering column splines either one notch to the left or one notch to the right instead of sliding on straight like the oem wheel. From what info I have found , it seems the early model year 32’s and the later model year’s have a different number of teeth on the spline so I believe that is the problem, I’m just not sure which hub will have the right tooth count to match my steering column.

Not possible for the spline count to be different and put the wrong one on.

Is your hub actually capturing the steering angle sensor drive tab? Not putting it on upside down or otherwise clocked wrongly?

Fair point, maybe it’s not the number of teeth that’s different but the orientation of them? I mean I’m going by the arrow labeled “top” on the hubs when I try to line it up so don’t think it could be going on upside down. I saw a chart someone made a while back that showed what different boss hubs supposedly fit all of the different 32 models and variants but I can’t find the damn thing and it was kind of confusing hence why I probably bought the wrong one. When I have it apart again I can post pictures to help explain.

Ok after looking at DriftWorks site it appears the ON-110 I tired is for an earlier model year and the ON-115 they have labeled as GTR specific, so I’m going to give ON-112 a try as the description they give says it’s for late model skylines with Hicas. Fingers crossed , had no clue so many different variants of hub existed.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
