dont know if id really trust my 15yr old airbag......Can these things be tested? would be good to know since its there anyway

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.

14 seconds on ebay. Even found it with the type of steering wheel ur after..

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?

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...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer
