hey guys,

quick question... I was considering getting a new steering wheel as my current one is pretty worn... just checking my options of fixing up my current one with retrimming or getting an aftermarket one... which rests on whether my car currently has an airbag or not...cuz I don't want the cops to nab me...

this is my current steering wheel - from an r33 s1 gts4, apparently I have heard these are the factory sport option wheels. I have checked in the engine bay fuse box and cabin fuse box but have not found any airbag fuses.. anywhere I can tell?

Thanks,

Adam

Just had another read of my cabin fuse cover and manual.... turns out I was reading the cover the wrong way round! :ninja:

so the car supports airbags.... but does this steering wheel have one?

Thanks,

Adam

The one pictured doesn't have the airbags, it was an option on series 1, standard on series 1.5 and 2.

The fuse slot is for whoever has optioned the airbag on theirs when new.

Thanks mate,

so then it would be acceptable to change it with an aftermarket one and not get nibbed yeh?

Adam

Adam,

It's fine as long it's no less than 330mm (vicroad VS21 or something) as required by law, but I've never know someone got nabbed for the steering wheel that doesn't have the airbag equipped to start with.

Cheers

Grant

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
