hey guys..

the previous owner decided to take the steering wheel off and put a boss kit, only to realise theres a different one for air bagged equiped cars (?)

anywayz he didnt end up doing it and just put the stock one back, which is a good idea lol but he said ever since his put it back, the horn doesnt work, and the airbag light is always on in the dash.

i think maybe his done somthing wrong with the wiring, so i wanna give it ago and try sort it out this afternoon.

any advice? whats the best way to remove it? also is there a seperate clip that connects to the horn and a different one for the airbag...obviously his mis matched the cables.

thanks

Haha, I did this just last night :(

apparently, once you disconnect the airbag, you need to reset the abs or computer or some junk*... try that first... I'm up to having the airbag light on also, haven't tested the horns...

As for getting it off, you are going to need a special piece of equipment... You need a T10 anti tamper torx screw... Took me ages to find one after asking mates and a few shops I go to...

Hopefully when I change the battery and reset the ecu, it will fix the error code comping up for the airbag...

*This is only if you have power on... I was listening to the radio while doing it, not super smart now that I think about it...

Well that's the whole reason I was going to swap mine... the weight at the top had broken off and was jiggling around and sometimes connecting the horn and setting it off...

I pissed that weight off, but I don't know how much fun it will be driving an even more uneven steering wheel...

Where abouts in Sydney are you?

Yeah there sorta is, but I don't know what it is exactly... it's some code, like you have to turn your key to ACC, then press the door button in the door sill 10 times in 10 seconds or something like that...

Do a search, it's probably here somewhere :(

THIS IS HOW TO RESET THE AIRBAG COMPUTER

First you have to put the system into the diagnostic mode. Here's how to do this:

From User Mode To Diagnosis Mode:

Diagnosis Mode activates only when a malfunction is detected, by pressing the driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds after turning the ignition "ON". SRS will not enter Diagnosis Mode if no malfunction is detected.

From Diagnosis Mode to User Mode:

After a malfunction is repaired, switch the ignition "OFF" for at least 1 second , then back "ON". Diagnosis Mode returns to User Mode. If switching Diagnosis Mode to User Mode is required while malfunction is being detected, switch the ignition "OFF", then back "ON" and press the driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds.

After a malfunction is repaired, return to User Mode from Diagnosis Mode by switching the ignition "OFF" for at least 1 second, then back "ON". At that time, the problem code is cleared

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
