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

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

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.

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      TBH it's almost always due to inaccurate/misinterpreted use case, but this is not just brakes, it's everything. Dose's above post would be unacceptably shit, in my experience. When I say "track day performance" I mean 30 minutes of continuous hot lap braking with no cooldowns, no fade, no letting up. Your use case is paramount when selecting... well... anything.

      Really comes down to user requirements, I have found my 324mm 350Z Brembo front set up more than sufficient for track use, especially for Wakefield Park with good brake pads. At Sydney Motorsport Park the GP Circuit can be a bit taxing on the braking system, I find by the 3rd hot lap there's rapid degradation in braking performance but at that point non semi slick tyres are about to give up anyway. And yes, the brakes are effective, slowing me down from 230km/h+ each time going into turn 1. Street use, it's more than enough for street activities. Most of the time people complain their brakes aren't sufficient, it's due to incorrect bleeding, poor choice of friction material, or faulty master cylinders.

      I'm about to sell my Attakd kit actually, so if you want a budget 2nd hand kit they definitely do work, though make sure you update your BMC when/if you do. Just keep in mind that buying pads (for any aftermarket kit) can be a bit more complicated when you have an aftermarket caliper. Not all brands make pads in the shapes and sizes you may want, no matter what you end up with.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      By deuceforty2 · Posted

      Hey guys, I had an R32 M/T RB20DET in my S13 quite a while ago, however I have replaced the chassis harness on the S13 and picked up a new motor (A31 A/T RB20DET according to the ECU) and I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out the dash wiring (specifically the black/pink wire for the fuel pump).  It seems this A31 loom is quite different at the dash connector and there is not even a black/pink wire anywhere on the engine loom (on one of the 5 dash plugs that are there), or on the ECU for that matter.  Every pinout I have seen is totally different from the actual wires on my ECU and i'm at a loss on how to wire this thing into my S13....     Any ideas?   In summary : A31 A/T engine loom/ecu pinouts are different than any pinouts i have seen online (specifically around pin 18 Fuel Pump Relay)

      What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.
