Hi guys, after some help.

My knees are REAL bad, back on morphine so it aint all rosy.

Decided that I need a little more leg room for my right leg (acelerator / brake)

Will get a Boss kit and a basic aftermarket steering wheel - will need an engineers report due to insurance and removal of airbag.

What kind of Boss Kit fits a 97 Stagea? An R33 kit, series 1 or 2 (if such a thing) or a R34 kit?

Have no idea. If anyone can help, with known part numbers, retailers etc thatd be great

I removed my airbag wheel on my R33 series 1.5

It is not legal and insurance will not like it either

You will need to get a boss kit that is airbag compatable

The usual cheaper ones for $70-100 will not work

When I bought mine, I only found 2 places to buy from, but that was a few years ago

UAS $250, Advan $200 at the time

I just checked UAS and they are now $290!

So ring around

I have seen them on Yahoo for around 7500yen, $85 plus the usual shipping fees etc

Greenline list one for 10,505yen approx $115 plus $30-40 delivery, which is way better than $290!

I would get one from greenline, alot less hassle and cost.

You should be able to use a R33 one, but ask the question, because even a r33 series 2 and 3 GTR wheels are different. Not in looks but in the airbag module plug setup. I learnt this from experience, plus as we all know Stagea's are a r33 and r34 mix of parts, esp between series 1 and series 2. Also Stagea auto's do not have hicas, unlike r33 and r34's

Just thought, by the time you buy a boss kit and wheel, you maybe better of getting the factory optional Nissan Momo airbag wheel. I am not sure what OD they are, but they should be smaller, plus you retain the airbag and stay legal

They sell for approx $250-450 on yahoo.

Some people on here have them, so maybe they can confirm what size they are

I have attached 2 pic of momo options, plus a rear pic of a series 2 R33 wheel so you can compare it your Stagea wheel

I have also seen r34 GTR wheels on Stagea's in Japanese cars, not here

Would still need to check thuo, that the airbag will still work, The jap's can do some doggy things sometimes

There was a r34 GTR wheel on ebay this week for $350, or yahoo for $100-300, just need the OD size.

^^ keeping in mind that Tangles is about eleventy billion feet tall....:stupid:

BTW, that MOMO Nissan wheel is HAWT! Do they bolt straight on with no adaptor needed?

thank you all kindly for the information you have provided.

great info Darrin, cheers 'brother

Even tho Id be taking away the airbag (say with a $100 autotechnica steering wheel) Id need a boss kit to suit airbag?

MRO if you could post up the diameter of a 'stnd' Momo airbag wheel that'd be awesome. if they are smaller than my current wheel Id go that way i guess.

Yes, it comes with some additional wiring to keep the air bag system happy. Also do not forget you still have a passenger airbag to keep happy aswell.

Yes they bolt straight on and plug in

Have a close look at the pics. the wheels even have Nissan pressed into them

I had 99 wrx for a few years which has the same wheel, and I loved it.

eh

none of my cars have ever had air bags

i just took out that stupid flashing light

LOL

here in Aus tho your insurance is void if you take out the airbag without an engineers certificate

hence why im definately interested in perhaps a Momo replacement airbag steering wheel, if they are of smaller diameter

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
