Okay so i made a mistake to remove my srs airbag off my car, and i dont want to put back my old one (really bad condition) i drive a R34 skyline (1998) which comes with a airbag which i believe is illegal, if i act dumb and try to say this car came without a airbag, how much would the fine be if i get caught? kinda dont want to throw away my genuine momo wheel i just bought

 

thanks alot

Hard choice - fancy wheel or potential life saver....having written off a Stagea and walked away with just a scratch because of the seat belts and airbags I would go for something like a GTR (airbag model) wheel.

BTW you can get Momo wheels with airbags.

Removal of a safety device is a pretty serious offence which will carry points.

It's flat out illegal, you'll fail all Blue and Pink slips and is grounds to be red labeled by police.

You can try the whole "I didn't know" but you'll get done and your car won't be moving, just not worth it.

What do you expect us to know the psyche of all the police in your unknown location? I've been pulled over 3 times this year in a bucket looking Skyline, bucket seat, loudish aftermarket exhaust, fmic, gauges, etc. acted like a reasonable human being and they didn't once even glance at my car. Other people get completely raped. 

Alternatively the fine should be a published number in your states road laws, try doing some research.

Wait i see you're posting in QLD, 1 point $126. The higher costs will be they'll go over your whole car and make a list of defects (which they'll fine you for each non-conformance) then you'll have to have rectified , verified, re-registered, etc.

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
