Automatic vs Manual Steering wheel

hey, i own a R34 skyline and it seemed to be swapped to manual (i bought it like this). I dont like how the steering wheel looks, the tiptronic buttons are just ugly in my opinion and i would like to swap them out for a manual one. I wanted to buy an aftermarket steering wheel, however, because my car was built in 1998, i need a ADR69 aproved steering wheel which is extremely hard to find and cannnot use cool drift steering wheels (live in the QLD and will get a defect notice) 

My question is. Can i do this without the check airbags light going off? what parts will i need to swap out? will the ECU accept it? 

i bought a manual nismo cluster which DID NOT work with my car, maybe because my ECU is still automatic. i dont know. so i was wondering how much and what parts will i have to buy to swap the steering will to a clean manual wheel and no silver tiptronic  buttons on each side. 

 

thanks in advance !

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
