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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
