He has a point, at what age do these things become disfunctional? or worse actually dangerous?

Give it another ten years and I could imagine a explosive device after 25 years being a issue.

Having issues with trying to find hicas boss kits.

yeah i seen that great buy, but pimp red! really? lol

[Hadouken]

im sure you can get it in skank pink

[cosworth1971]

skank pink!! sold.

no one has answered me yet, can i reverse it all and put the std one back on after without error code issues, or would i have to visit a tuner to clear the computer.

Just in case i have to put it back to standard one day.

of coourse you could put it back to standard.

N computer issues etc would have been discussed somewhere. Do a search n see if that offers any suggestions.

thanks ,thats the answer i needed.

wheel and boss brought.

this resistor sold on ebay goes onto the ecu board? or soldered on the back of the dash?

[jjman]

resistor? not heard of that before but if i can offer any advice- dont be f**king around with circuit boards n soldering- much less of the ecu. these are old vehicles and alot of these old components are easy to damage...

honestly, id just unplug the globe for the airbags in the dash (n convert the rest to awesome looking LED's at the same time) n be done with it. If you ever put the airbag wheel back in then put the globe back in.

Dont worry about the error code as either easily explainable- "i put in a sik pimp-red deep dish wheel for a while n now the stock airbag wheel is back in"

or easy enough to wipe error codes.

FTW

No offense, but airbags & abs are god sent. Why on earth would you disable it?

And yes, Airbag module will throw a fault code and yes your passenger airbag will not deploy.

not sure about OP's case but stock steering wheel for me meant i couldnt see any of the dash gauges, also i think that if i had an accident that wheel would have broken both my legs (i think im a bit bigger than ur average jap that this car was designed for...)

otherwise i dont see any mention of disabling ABS here.

Nonetheless, after all these years of age skylines have its just another thing that could develop a fault.

I threw the ABS thing to complete the sentence, you often see plenty of people removing their ABS systems and Airbags for more "street credit".

yeah i hear you on that.

kinda like the superstretched tyres on rims sticking out to hell + dumped to ground n wheel alignment all over the shop...

for the street ABS is ur best friend. For track or driving purists then ABS is not such a good aquaintance...
