hey just a question...beofre i change my stock steering wheel...

i got a series2 r33, with dual air-bags...

is it possible for me to swap my stock steering with an aftermarket one and a uses a boss kit??

i heard that coz it has ait-bag on the steering wheel...boss kit/s arn't available or designed for air-bag wheels...

is this so??? :|

or is that just crap, and i can use a series 1 or 2 boss kit...???

and my other question is...

and will the passenger air-bag still work??? hence having the air-bag light on??

or what??

thanks

you should be able to, only problem wit that is your air bag light will be on. they have a kit at just jap but its a bit pricey.

all airbags are set up with a backup power supply incase the battery cable is cut during an accident. It will flash a code 51 or 52.

removing a steering wheel that has an airbag for a wheel that has no airbag is illegal

i would recommend getting someone who knows what they are doing to change it if you must have an aftermarket wheel

+1

Yep, 100% illegal... so becareful on that note

i also have an r33 with 2 airbags but mine have been diploid cause the car was in a crash.

i got new passanger side airbag but i dont have the drivers side yet because ive got a problem. the steering wheel that was on the car is an s14 one and cant seem to find an airbag anywhere.. but i can find plenty of r33 ones.. but then the plastic thing at the back of the wheel that turns. will i have to replce that aswell. and will all the connectors match?

bit hard to explain hope you guys understand what im trying to say..??

agreed with gunmetalgrey... keep the stock steering wheel, it looks nice.

and saves MOMO being stamped into your head if/when you have a crash :banana:

Agree with this too, there is nothing wrong with how the stock wheel looks or feels in my opinion.

bumble_bee you should put some deep thought into keeping it legal. While an officer might not pick it up, he will most probably pick up on a FMIC or an exhaust or a pod. He ticks a box to have your car sent to the pits and then the steering wheel will be picked up. Also, I'm pretty sure that wherever you bought the car from will keep some kind of record of what the car did and didn't have when they imported it and sold it. If I had that job I'd be covering my arse pretty well from people like you :P

So no one's actually removed their standard R33 Series 2 steering wheel for an aftermarket one?

It's pretty hard to believe. But if anyone has and doesn't want to post here plz send me a pm

Ever thought of a different steering wheel that has an airbag? Some of them are nice, the 98 Spec Integra Type R Momo Airbag wheel looks aaite...

i don't think many people change the series 2 steering wheel cuz it doesn't look shit like the series one, but as someone said to my mate your an idiot if you get rid of an airbag. If you are in the right frame of mind you just wouldn't do it.

Just cause another car has a steering wheel with an airbag in it doesn't mean it will fit your car. The momo R33 40th anniversary airbag steering wheel is the only one im aware that will fit without modification. Never seen any other airbag steering wheels fitted.

I know the last thing i would want in an accident is to hit the sterring wheel with your head hard. Leave the standard one mate, it looks good and not worth getting into shit by the cops over it.

Some of the 1998 40th anniversary ones came with a optional Momo steering wheel that came with the airbag (ask dezz for pics). Looks the goods too.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
