Quick release steering wheel with short hub Question

[xcye]

The info I got from Works bell says "They do not have a short version BOSS that is compatible with a 92 BNR32 (without modification)."

I'm using a Daikei hicas with a short Ebay quick release. The short quick release looks like the NRG 400 hub but cost me $80 less, but your problem is that you won't be able to use the lock with this short release.

It looks like Work bell do make a short hub for the Skyline with Hicas (629S) and they also make quick releases and locks too.

I gotcha chris. One day Ill go with a works bell setup, but for now an NRG will do fine. the car im helping my friend build will be daily driven through north GTA (miss/bramp/etc) and leaving it out for long periods of time with a steering wheel on and no ignition cutoff kinda scares me.

Just got a works bell rapfix II complete kit with 618S BOSS installed on my 92 GTR. The 618S was not compatible with HICAS. But, I deleted HICAS already, so HICAS is not my concern. However to make horn and turn signal auto return work, I had to modify the HICAS sensor holder and the BOSS. In the end, everything turned out good. I chose 618S instead of the regular BOSS is because I 618S is CNC billet aluminum which is much stronger than the regular cast one, and the 618S is a way shorter hub (only about 40mm depth), which is great for quick release. I think it would be easier to modify a 629S BOSS to work on R32 even with HICAS. However, 629S is 20mm longer than 618S.

One side note: the quality of 618S BOSS and the Rapfix II is second to none.

Oakville, it was free. Came with one of the cars I owned. But since that car is long gone by now I have it in my good car

Just like Daryl recommends, I am using the 616 hub with my works bell quick release and have no problems!
The only thing that may bother you is that the signal stalk gets a bit far away if you use a deep cone steering with your whole quick release set up, it personally doesn't bother me but when my friends drove my car they said it was a little annoying

[cschepp]

A little off topic but whaa... The r32 had a optional airbag? Was this 93 and up Daryl?

Daryl I will contact you soon!

[Oakville]

how much was your works bell QR chris?

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

ASCD is cruise control. If you have a non-airbag, non-cruise control, HICAS equipped R32, then 616 is the hub you need.
You may be able to use the 629, but I can't confirm. You'd have to try it out and see first.

The 629S is for airbag equipped GT-Rs! Be careful when ordering, many shops don't know the proper application for R32s...

Here are the applicable part numbers from Works Bell Japan:

ASCD only R32: 612
Super HICAS R32: 616
ASCD & Super HICAS R32: 617
Optional airbag equipped R32: 629 (requires horn coupler modification, some wheels may require 625 depending on the shape of the wheel, please check pictures, also some airbag couplers may require a "u-turn" harness)

We are a retailer for Works Bell, so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Oh well that's not good at all! FRsport called me asking me if I was sure the 629S was the right hub. I wasn't entirely sure since my car has hicas, not super hicas, and no airbag. I figured I could use the 629 and just delete the airbag connection. Which is actually the right hub for me Daryl? HICAS, no airbag, and I have no idea if I have ASCD.

Listen I have a works bell and also a nrg quick release. I really like the quality of the works bell but the nrg is more along the lines of eBay crap to me. Not worth te money

does your works bell work with hicas? RHD Japan told me it wont? I will remove my hicas but was not going o till next year... maybe more sooner than later if I cant get it to work with a a/m setup.

And yeah the NRG wheel I have is sick... as for the q/r I have never had another one before to compare so will take your word on that one lol

I also am using the HKB hub with NRG 2.5QR, it's a bit of a reach between the wheel and the turn signal, but I actually enjoy the extra room. Both my horn and HICAS both function perfectly with that combo.

I just bought a Nardi Deep Corn wheel ($295) and Works Bell 629S short hub ($157) from FRsport.com. I also ordered a NRG v2.5 quick release from TopSpeed Autosport for $140 shipped ($150 msrp before shipping). I looked around for a long time and these are the cheapest prices I could find. Great service and items were shipped out the next day from both vendors.

Should all be coming in next week, can't wait to install it and replace my old worn oem steering wheel.

Sounds pretty awesome dude! yeah no better feeling than a new wheel! good luck!!
