By the way, I have a Works Bell Short hub and didn't have any issues with needing to remove any clock spring.

My Hub kit came with 2 fuses which attaches to the orange and yellow plug and it does plug and play and does not trip on the VDC or Traction control.

However, I'm still having issue getting the horn to work because i think the wiring harness provided (wire location) is incorrect.

Also my air bag light is not turning off due to my aftermarket seat. even with a 4.7 ohm 1/2Watt resistor 5% error and reset procedure, i'm still stuck with a flashing Airbag light. I even tried 2 different brand ones too....frustrated.

Hope this helps everyone, any help back with the horn or seat airbag would be appreciated. I've followed the other thread but still no luck.

Which wheel do you have? I have the works bell short hub too (for the Z34), and it works great. The Personal horn that I have grounds directly to the inside of the quick release/hub, so I never got that to work. Not sure why yours doesn't work though.
For the seat, are you using a 4.7ohm or 4.7K ohm resistor? I couldn't find the right one at Radioshack, so I picked up a group of 10ohm 1/2watt resistors and wired 3 of them in parallel which gives me 3.3ohms. You should be able to find these at any local radioshack. I cut the plug off the airbag side and soldered them on there, no problems.
