^^ pretty sure you'll find that the S1 had drivers side airbags most likely as factory option.. most have them, however the S2 had dual airbags in every car..

Makes it an issue for compliancing as you need to fit an airbag to the car if it came with it factory I do believe..

If it doesn't have one now.. not much you can do short of paying a couple of $'000 to get one installed.. that is if you want it.. personally i wouldn't get a car without dual airbags.. but that's just me.

Have you tried just looking at a number of '95 cars forsale on websites, would be a good idea of knowing what came with what.. if all of them have an Airbag, than yeah, could be a problem.. if a fair few don't than i'd say it was still a factory option than.

However - all SII definately have dual airbags.

can you explain what the issue is? if it has been complianced without an Airbag and has a compliance plate than you should be fine to get it registered unless the RTA do an inspection and find something wrong. In which case, take it back to the compliancers and get them to fix it for you.

or

are you worried about your safety and after a car with an Airbag? very valid..

Mate, my car is a 1995 series 1.5 its ment to have an airbag. It had an aftermarket wheel which was taken off before i purchased it, so i replaced it with just a series 1 steering wheel. It has been over the RTA, and nothing was said about it.

I've seen 96+ skylines with sports steering wheels, and it didnt matter either.

To tell you the truth, the RTA doesnt really know if theyre ment to have them or not, they didnt have a check sheet there to tick off, so if it was rego'd like that, as far as your concerned, it never had one to begin with, nor am i.

Hope this helps.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
