G'day Guys,

Anyone know if they're direct fit? I've got the series 1 dash cluster and steering wheel. Reason for changin is simple because of airbag. If the airbag doesnt work if you swap them, I wouldnt be doing it. Thanks in advance.

This probably doesn't help, but I'd just point out that series 2 and series 3 dash are identical, the steering wheel only has different stitching on it in series 3, oh, there is a light switch under the dash (LHS under steering wheel) for the fog light switch on the rear in a series 3....but its tucked away :cool:

They're are a lot more series 2 owners than series 3...

If what you're asking is "can I fit a later series wheel to an S1 R33 GT-R?" then the answer is yes. The S1 wheel (single airbag model) has the airbag computer behind the airbag, in the steering wheel. This computer needs to be removed from the S1 wheel and attached to the S2/S3 wheel, after which the wheel will go on the car and the airbag will plug in. The airbag light will not be on, which seems to indicate that the system is working OK, but the only way to know for sure is to crash the car or trigger the sensor. I'm not ready to do this yet, so I can't guarantee you that the airbag "works". You will also need to fiddle with the horn wires a little, but it's a piece of cake.

The dash clusters (with the dials in them) are the same between models, no reason to change.

If you want to fit a twin-airbag dash to a single-airbag car, it can be done, but there is a LOT of work involved. Some guy in Germany did it and wrote it up on GTROC.co.uk, but it's quite involved - you need to buy a new computer, the airbags, dash, under-dash bracing, etc etc the list goes on.

f**k that shit. Too much mucking about for the 2 airbag and since I've found the solution to the other problem I have, I think I'll stick with my fat steering wheel for now.

Thanks for all the reply guys.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

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

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
