^^ 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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
