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

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
