Hi All,
I recently imported an R33 GTR V-Spec (1995.) I was aware when i purchased the car from the broker that it had the standard airbag wheel replaced with an aftermarket Nismo one.
During compliance it was all good, borrowed a wheel and got over the pits fine. But now i have to return the airbag wheel and go back to the nismo one. This raises a couple of issues for me:
a) It is a yellow if and when the police pull me over for my "routine licence check" -and -
b) My wife drives the car so i would prefer it to be safe.
This means that i want to convert BACK to an airbag wheel. I have done heaps of searches but have found no firm answers on this topic.
Does anybody know if you can put any other car's airbag wheel on? For example i like S15 steering wheels a whole lot more than R33 GTR stock steering wheels or even R34 steering wheels, so i would love to know if they can be substituted? Any steering wheel that has an airbag and is going to work on a 33 GTR would be worth knowing about.
Does anyone know if the airbag warning light has to work to do the airbag computer check that i found in another thread? I think mine may have been disconnected as it has never worked (as in light up, even when it had the airbag wheel on.) I would like to run a diagnostic on it before i buy a new steering wheel just incase the car has been in a bingle and the sensor needs to be replaced too.
This is an excerpt from the thread that i am referring to:
THIS IS HOW TO RESET THE AIRBAG COMPUTER
First you have to put the system into the diagnostic mode. Here's how to do this:
From User Mode To Diagnosis Mode:
Diagnosis Mode activates only when a malfunction is detected, by pressing the driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds after turning the ignition "ON". SRS will not enter Diagnosis Mode if no malfunction is detected.
From Diagnosis Mode to User Mode:
After a malfunction is repaired, switch the ignition "OFF" for at least 1 second , then back "ON". Diagnosis Mode returns to User Mode. If switching Diagnosis Mode to User Mode is required while malfunction is being detected, switch the ignition "OFF", then back "ON" and press the driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds.
After a malfunction is repaired, return to User Mode from Diagnosis Mode by switching the ignition "OFF" for at least 1 second, then back "ON". At that time, the problem code is cleared
Any help or advice will be gratefully accepted
PS sorry if there is a thread that covers this, i searched heaps of times but was unabelt o find one!!!
