gday guys,

done some quick searching and havent found a definate answer.

i was wondering, does the r34 airbag (gtt or gtr) fit on the r33? and if it does, will the airbag hook up properly?

my reason for this is change is that the s1 r33 gtr steering wheel is hideous, and i cant stand to look at it another day.

thanks

stef

Hey mate,

Ive also looked into this for the same reason as you.. the 33 GTR steering wheel looks terriable.

No one could give me a defiante answer. But they said it may be possiable but they couldnt see the air bag working...

If you hear anything else plz let me know

Yer it will fit right on only problem is the airbag wont connect up as the R33 has an extra "unit" behind the airbag which then connects into the loom. R34 doesnt have that extra piece and connects directly in. But yer as for the steering wheel itself it will bolt directly on.

anyone looking at a s2 wheel for an s1 may also want to look at a steering wheel from a n15 SSS pulsar as they look identical to the r33 s2 wheel. and i would guess that the spindle size would be the same too, but can't confirm this.

hey guys, dont wanna be a party pooper, but changing steering wheels that have air bags, whether hooked up or not is a huge ADR (australian design rules) complience no-no, and if the cops in your state are smart enough, they can permanently defect your car. Have seen supra drivers buy air bagged steering wheels to instal into earlier models not having airbags as standard including all compulsory units and very few engineering workshops in perth (i can only speak for perth) will touch the case. So chase this up with your transport authority departments or risk having massive fines and also having insurances on your vehicles revoked. well, sorry again

I'm no electronic genious but wouldn't fitting a different model airbag to car only require that the deployment modules from your car be connected to the new airbag?

I mean the modules are what actually deploy the airbags not the airbag itself, as long as the resistance (i think that's what it is) from the 2 airbags are the same then this would work and if they weren't it would only be matter of fitting resistor or something to wires of airbag to give same resistance

Meh i could be totally wrong though but will be something i delve into with my electronics guru when i see him next

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
