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?

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
