Does anyone on here know of a D.I.Y. for the drivers side airbag removal on an S1 R33 ?? Im thinking of changing the steering wheel, and i heard its a decent weight reduction of around 40-50kg ?

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

mmm i dont think steering wheels weigh 40 - 50kg even with the airbag

you want weight reduction, take out the back seats, remove spare wheel/jack etc from boot, remove stereo, change wheels to forged racing wheels.

and maybe go on a diet and shed a few kilos yourself, every little bit helps

Not that i'm aware of. Last time we had the airbag out on my friend's car, i thought it woldn't have weighed more than 10 kg.

maybe if you got all the wiring and sensors out, it would be close to 20?

did you have to unplug/disconnect anything before taking out the airbag box?

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
