Just wondering if someone can tell me for certain if an R34 GTR airbag steering wheel can be fitted to a R33 GTR series 2. I have been told that it 'should' a series 2/3 R33 GTR but won't fit a series 1. I think they are a better wheel and have found one, but I don't want to fork out the cash until I know for sure it can be fitted successfully. The wheel is located interstate so there is know way of doing a trial fitting. Does anyone know if this can be done, or has anyone done this themselves??

Cheers

they will fit

Do you know this for a fact? And even if the do actually fit, will the airbag still operate? I have heard that the R34 has a separate airbag computer that is not compatible with the R33 even if the wheel physically fits OK. I spent weeks and spoke to several experts (Nissan dealers, importers, performance gurus specialising in imports, and crash repairers) in order to answer this question about a year ago without success.

PS. MAXX, I hope you are right. But please ensure you are positive, and not just offering opinion as it may send someone (like myself) on a very expensive wild goose chase.

Cheers.

Mmmmm, it seems very hard to get a positive answer. Here is a small pic of a R34 steering wheel.

Has anyone actually tried it? Like Garage Menace I am finding it difficult to get a definate answer, and don't want to fork out the money if it won't work. It would be a nice replacement if it works.

      They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.

      This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
