Hey guys, so I wanna change my steering wheel and my auto gear knob to something sportier.

Does anyone know of any fitting shops with experience in this department or someone who has done it before?

I know about the legality of changing the wheel.

So please anyone who can help me, I look forward to your replies/pm.

Thanks in advance

Cheers G

P.S I live in SYDNEY EAST

What kind of auto shift knob do u have?

What kind of auto shift knob do u have?

I bought the OBX Racing Sports TOMCAT SK-18 gearshift knob

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-...p4506.m20.l1116

It really looks like a jet-pilot's maneuver shift stick.

Is it just me or are they trying to copy the Type R symbol on the gear knob / shift stick ..

Totally know thats a honda fanboys dream addition lols.

But looks nice :O

As for the steering wheel, dont R33's come with air bags ?

Defect much? Insurance rapage?

can someone tell me if I can cut the wire attached to my standard auto gear knob without damaging the gear shift?

also does anyone know what that wire is supposedly used for?

Cheers

im guessing over drive. cut it and lose 4th gear. run it to a switch if your a/m knob doesnt have one

Halleluja, thank you Benjamin Franklin, mwaa mwaa

My dilemma is solved :(

    • 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.
