how hard is it to remove the wheel and airbag? and is it possible, say, to replace the standard wheel for track days them put it back on when you drive off? or would this be too stupid/hard?

Its fine to replace the standard wheel with an aftermarket one.

But you couldnt replace the passenger side airbag with anything, unless you just disconnected the fuses :(

Its not hard to remove the airbag steering wheel... if you really don't like it, just change it to one you want, but keep the orig incase you get defected for it. takes 10-15mins to change the steering wheel

ive seen a supposed series 2 with only drivers side airbag... i dont trust the dealer so i reckon it was a bit of a mock up series 2

btw i have seen late 94's with driver side airbags

my series 2 has both airbags but no abs

if you do remove or disconnect any airbags you will receive an airbag code....u wont be able to extinguish this until the system is operational......to get rid of the code switch the ign on and pump the door pin switch 7 or more times withing 10 seconds of turning the ign on

An airbag code? I've removed my airbag and steering wheel twice, and put it back on twice and never had any problems - the airbag light doesn't come on (except for when starting the car as per normal).... I was told that if you remove the airbag Nissan need to reset something but i've never had any troubles - of course i've never had any reason for my airbag to go off...

Where is this airbag code?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
