hey all,

basically i need a straight answer, ive been searching for about an hour now over a variety of websites and i cant get a straight answer. im looking at changing my steering wheel, but i want to keep the car legal. what are the rules involving this? ive heard it has to be either momo or isotta with the correct boss kit and paper work to match? is this true? or can it be any steering wheel?

also interested in knowing the rules regarding a pod filter? anyone know what the legal rules are regarding this?

im trying to avoid attention from the men in blue as much as i can (alot harder lately i know).

cheers in advance

Michael

If your car came with srs airbag, then you must retain the srs airbag.

Pod filters must be bolted to engine bay. But better off with std airbox with high flow filter (K&N etc).

Straight enough for you? :rofl:

Stick with the standard airbox and upgrade your panel filter. Maybe look at getting your steering wheel retrimmed instead of buying aftermarket?

keep the airbox as above with a K/N style filter, and dont oil it to death or it will kill the AFM sensor wire .

if your car had a airbag stock on the steering wheel, it cant be changed unless its a airbag replacement model. $$$$$$$

retrim it is cheaper , or buy a furry cover ,,,toilet seat cover conversion

and like cara said ,,,,call them,, and expect 4 different answers on what is legal...lol

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
