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...

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
