    Aye, just force it over the top of the original button. A bit of soapy water might help it slip on.

    I fitted one to my old S13, and have fitted one on my Skyline.

    I just pushed it over the original button.

    Just found this website that gives full instructions - http://www.ka24e.com/tech/spinturn/

    Ive seen one from around mid 1995 and they did around 90m's that time on the handbrake too, IIRC. Was cool!

    hehehe.........I'm quite sure you have to unscrew the old button and screw the Cusco one in place and meanwhile having removed the spring from behind the button !

    Cheers
