bluethermal Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Morning All, so after changing my steering wheel for a Royal it's down to the right by about 1/2"or more. I lined up the notches on re fitting so what's happened? Do I take it off again and move it back central or get the front aligned? Very annoying. Thanks for any pointers guys.

Jack94 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) If it was definitely straight before the swap then you must have put it back on a spline or so out, just take it back off and adjust.

davey_83 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Did you receive the same steering wheel back or an exchange? I found DE and RevUp steering bosses to be different in terms of teeth placement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethermal Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Exchange. Took it off again and moved it back one spline but now Slip light and ESP off light are on. WTF? Update, took it off again and turned back so that notches line up as before, lights no longer on but brakes apply themselves if I drive over 5 mph, what to do?

davey_83 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 That's a new one on me the matter of the brakes sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethermal Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Just been out and had another look, with engine running, when i turn wheel full lock to right lights come on again but not when I turn full lock to left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Possibly your clock spring needs resetting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack94 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Never heard of these kind of problems when just changing a steering wheel, unless yeah your clockspring is knackered Any thoughts @ZMANALEX?

pintopete58 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I Own a de 350 and I bought a flat bottomed steering wheel from a guy in Ireland. Bought a cheap part ex off ebay then a HR 350 steering wheel and swapped all buttons over . All 350z steering wheels are the same a part from hr buttons. Sounds like you've not put it back together correctly hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing to do is reset the SAS. You should not have to do this however if you moved the clockspring then this will be your issue Out 1 spline will throw the SAS out by 10 degrees and give you all the issues that you mention. If you have rotated the clockspring excessively then you may have damaged it. Try the SAS reset first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethermal Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Quote Thanks All, I take it resetting the SAS is a main dealer job? Will I have to trailer it or can it be driven there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 have a read at this, it is fairly accurate and a DIY: http://www.foxwellsupport.com/how-to-reset-nissan-350z-srs-light-on/ Also, this actually does work pretty well: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=Foxwell+NT650&_sacat=0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethermal Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 All sorted, took a run up to Scott at Abbey on Thursday, SAS was 360 degrees out! still baffled as to how I managed that. Along with a four wheel align they sorted a broken eccentric washer on the nearside rear toe arm and pumped up the tyres all while I waited. Sterling work guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
