Airbag And Hicas Issues 1995 R33

[Alan10]

Just looking for advice from anyone who has changed their steering wheel and had problems.

The shops seem reluctant to change do to the airbag legalities?

Any advice appreciated.

I hear there is a momo wheel designed especially for the Nissan?

Cheers guys and thanks

Well it's illegal to remove a factory fitted airbag system, plus there is some minor danger involved in removing it, been known to cause a few broken noses etc. Luckily mine had already been done before it landed here:D

uummm thanks for that - might be only option to get wheel recovered then?

It can be done, just need to find a workshop willing to do it:D

yeah my mate had an airbag and swapped his steering wheel for another wheel though the new one also had an airbag - this was for an S15, swapped with the JDM model steering wheel..

try Top Racing in Bentley

Hey Alan,

Hope your enjoying the Skyline :burnout:

Personally I like the standard steering wheel that comes with the R33, not as bad as some local cars (cough Commodore cough).

Getting it re trimmed might be a safe option.

Never knew it was illegal to remove airbag steering wheels though?

Dude

Most wheels will be interchangeable with the same manufacturer

I stuck a evo6 wheel on my satria.. airbag to airbag. mistubishi essentially.

It worked fine....same goes for swapping an s15 or a gtr wheel etc..

just make sure that the battery is disconnected etc

no explody

Hi mate - Very cool car, very happy with it. Spoiler Shop has it at present - New Bomex front end had trouble finding anyone with the GTR Front in stock.

Adding in the white dials as well ( I like those :elaugh: )

Back to Cypher next week for some Apexi Pillar Gauges and new sound system fit and off we go again. Must be mid life crisis hahahahaha

Thanks for all the advice guys, all of you.

Seems the wheel change is a no go. It was suggested to me today by the spoiler shop that a good leather guy might be able to add some sparkle to the wheel?

Any thoughts here?
