Can I Put A Sport Steering Wheel Into A Series 2 R33 With Airbags

[cosworth1971]

I would like to remove the airbag steering wheel and put a sports steering wheel.

Mine is a 1996 GTst with dual airbags.

Is it possible?

Is there even boss kits for the r33 skyline?

Will the computer flip out with error codes ect.?

Or will ir just be a warning light on the dash?

Any links to boss kits would be great also.

thanks

If i go on ebay right now i can guarantee you there are boss kits for a "unpopular" 33

[cosworth1971]

yeah found them thanks but what about the computer, do i need a tuner to clear fault codes if i want to change back?

will passenger airbag not work then?

Swap you my momo race wheel and boss kit for your stocky.

you could do it quite easily but unless the sports steering wheel has an airbag you are breaking the law

Yer not worth the hassles, though i do admit, the steering wheels is quite big and bulky.

will they know a r33 from a r32?.

and is it a common defect?.

the airbag is not like im hurting anyone but myself hey.

no going to keep standard one incase sorry but i need to know if i change it all back will the dash light go off and all be ok with computer again.

or do i have to get some error codes removed by nissan or something.?

They will know because you have that little airbag warning on your visor

series 1 no-airbag model FTW!!! (legal to swap out as i am not removing a safety device)

I dont know how you guys do it. Im 6ft n with the stock wheel i cant see above 40km/h or 3000rpm on the dash!!!!

I put on a steeering wheel that wouldnt look out of place on an xbox

can see all the gauges now tho!

Im reading now if i want a deep dish steering wheel i need a short boss kit.

has anyone been thru the whole boss kt/steering wheel combo before?

boss kits are boss kits for skylines from memory.

U just need to make sure you get one that is 'hicas compatible' so it can run the hicas sensor too

Remove dash and pull globe for warning light.

And, S1R33RWDFTWBBQ

[jjman]

on both counts

thank you, i didnt even know it had to be hicas.

Now a short boss kit to suit a deep dish wheel?

I want to keep controls within reach but i lurve the deep dish wheels.

pull globe ftw! thanks

You can get a plug in resistor that tricks the ecu into thinking the airbag is still in there. I have a yellow plug in my boss kit.If you knew the resistance of the airbag you could put that across the plug and then you will have no warning light.

If you ever hit something, you may regret removing the airbag...

That's like saying you will regret hitting something if your car never had an air bag.
