hey guys sorry but im a fair n00b to this site, and im also a n00b when it comes to skylines, any ways a couple of days ago i picked up my first car, a 93/94 R33 gts-t

and i'm still learning a fair bit about it, anyways getting to the point.....

the stock steering wheel is extreamly ugly and worn so i decided to take a trip down to autobarn and pick up a new steering wheel, its a nice Autotecnica one, and i asked for a boss kit, the guy behind the counter dicked around for ages looking up codes in his product book unitl he found the code for the boss kit, looked on his computer and saw he had none in stock, however the nearest autobarn from this one did, so i took a trip down there and picked it up

got home and took me ages getting the stock steering wheel off, turns out it doesnt fit my steering wheel, but fits the car fine, well atleast i think it does.... i unpluged this wad of cables going into this little black box the size of a matchbox from my stock steeringwheel because it was in the way of the new boss kit going on... and also had to remove this square thin box with wires such as the horn etc in that had a hole in it and fitted over the spline.... so not only does my boss kit not work, but i have no idea what all thsoe wires were ... can someone help me out?

im lost :P

thanks

Gday,

Welcome to SAU.

I can't help with your boss kit etc as I don't know if it's the right one and I personally don't shop at autobarn :rofl:

Some of those wires however should be your horn. There are 2 of them for that.

The rest may perhaps be an airbag, and I'm not sure but I think HICAS cars also have some wiring there? Although someone more knowledgable may correct me on that.

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
