Hi guys, after some help.

My knees are REAL bad, back on morphine so it aint all rosy.

Decided that I need a little more leg room for my right leg (acelerator / brake)

Will get a Boss kit and a basic aftermarket steering wheel - will need an engineers report due to insurance and removal of airbag.

What kind of Boss Kit fits a 97 Stagea? An R33 kit, series 1 or 2 (if such a thing) or a R34 kit?

Have no idea. If anyone can help, with known part numbers, retailers etc thatd be great

I removed my airbag wheel on my R33 series 1.5

It is not legal and insurance will not like it either

You will need to get a boss kit that is airbag compatable

The usual cheaper ones for $70-100 will not work

When I bought mine, I only found 2 places to buy from, but that was a few years ago

UAS $250, Advan $200 at the time

I just checked UAS and they are now $290!

So ring around

I have seen them on Yahoo for around 7500yen, $85 plus the usual shipping fees etc

Greenline list one for 10,505yen approx $115 plus $30-40 delivery, which is way better than $290!

I would get one from greenline, alot less hassle and cost.

You should be able to use a R33 one, but ask the question, because even a r33 series 2 and 3 GTR wheels are different. Not in looks but in the airbag module plug setup. I learnt this from experience, plus as we all know Stagea's are a r33 and r34 mix of parts, esp between series 1 and series 2. Also Stagea auto's do not have hicas, unlike r33 and r34's

Just thought, by the time you buy a boss kit and wheel, you maybe better of getting the factory optional Nissan Momo airbag wheel. I am not sure what OD they are, but they should be smaller, plus you retain the airbag and stay legal

They sell for approx $250-450 on yahoo.

Some people on here have them, so maybe they can confirm what size they are

I have attached 2 pic of momo options, plus a rear pic of a series 2 R33 wheel so you can compare it your Stagea wheel

I have also seen r34 GTR wheels on Stagea's in Japanese cars, not here

Would still need to check thuo, that the airbag will still work, The jap's can do some doggy things sometimes

There was a r34 GTR wheel on ebay this week for $350, or yahoo for $100-300, just need the OD size.

^^ keeping in mind that Tangles is about eleventy billion feet tall....:stupid:

BTW, that MOMO Nissan wheel is HAWT! Do they bolt straight on with no adaptor needed?

thank you all kindly for the information you have provided.

great info Darrin, cheers 'brother

Even tho Id be taking away the airbag (say with a $100 autotechnica steering wheel) Id need a boss kit to suit airbag?

MRO if you could post up the diameter of a 'stnd' Momo airbag wheel that'd be awesome. if they are smaller than my current wheel Id go that way i guess.

Yes, it comes with some additional wiring to keep the air bag system happy. Also do not forget you still have a passenger airbag to keep happy aswell.

Yes they bolt straight on and plug in

Have a close look at the pics. the wheels even have Nissan pressed into them

I had 99 wrx for a few years which has the same wheel, and I loved it.

eh

none of my cars have ever had air bags

i just took out that stupid flashing light

LOL

here in Aus tho your insurance is void if you take out the airbag without an engineers certificate

hence why im definately interested in perhaps a Momo replacement airbag steering wheel, if they are of smaller diameter

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
