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

dont care about the illegal crap..

cops in Australia are idiots!!

i'll say came like that wen i bought it from japan..and get got complianced that way..lol

but yeah..anyone got a series2 with dual bags wit an aftermarket steeering wheel fitted????

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

Cheers

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...

Is it possible? What about a GTR one or are they the same?

Edited by gotRICE?

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.

hey,, thought i would pop into this.. ive been trying to get my wheel of for a while. i have removed air bag and all the bolts, the main to with the star key and the main bolt on the wheel. but it will not pull off?.. any one got any tips? or and special way to get these off..

im putting on a aftermarket airbad wheel that i scored from japan.. so much nicer then my s2 wheel :down:

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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
