I thought the only rule was, that if your steering wheel had an airbag standard, then if you changed it to an aftermarket steering wheel that would have to have an airbag as well.

It would make sense for the steering wheel to be padded too, but I'm not sure on that law. Think of it this way, do you want to be driving around the streets with a wooden or metal steering kinda wheel? I wouldn't.

I know how you feel though, the s1 steering wheel is ugly... I'm assuming thats why you want to change it?

i've had an aftermarket one on for almost 6 years, but recently learned it was illegal. with the strict police in victoria i've been doing my best to make my car legal in the past few months. i had my original steering wheel that was still in the garage upholstered with new leather to match the colors of my door trims and seats, and the middle padded non airbag series 1 horn section i took to Daniel Power powerstudios.com.au to have airbrushed to match it all together with the dash and car too..

it's going to look great, but i dont have it back yet. when i do i'll post a pic. it's relatively cheap if you compare it to aftermarket wheels, plus boss kits etc, works out similar. the leather before i dropped it off to daniel looked amazing! that's probably the best suggestion i have for ya, cheers

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
