Soooo, I hit my signal to turn either way and it doesn't click off itself when I straighten the wheel.. Just keeps going till I manually turn it off.Could something; IE: a wire; be loose or am I just cool?

The actual click you hear when turning the wheel around is from a thin metal disc with slots in it behind the steering wheel for the s13's. Could be the disc bent or the little plastic piece in the turn signal arm broke. Its an easy fix to just replace the entire turn signal arm and disc with a junkyard one. I had the same problem. Just replaced it with the metal disc from my r33 front clip.

You have to take the steering column cover off and remove the steering wheel that all that I can think of at the moment. Its simple!

by switching to an aftermarket wheel, i was reading something about a turn signal sensor in the wheel. If i had switched my wheel. They wont work without modification. correct?

Awesome, I was going to order in a grant steering wheel but apparently they've stopped business for a bit. Thanks for all the help, I'll check and see what's missing/broken!
