R34 Gtr Steering Wheel On A R33 Gtr

[Adz2332]

I hate the standered GTR 33 steering wheel. Why it didnt have GTR on it like the 32 or 34 steering wheel is beyond me.

Any way. i have a couple users offering me GTR R34 steering wheels.

Has any one put a 34 GTR wheel on a 33 GTR before??

Can it be done?

Are the air bag sensors the same??

Is the boss the same??

etc etc??

cheers

No one tried this??

Haven't done it. I'm pretty sure it will fit on, but don't think the airbag will work. Try it, and let us know

What do you see them problem in airbags will be??

Hey mate i've been replacing my steering wheel just as of late.

For one, I'd be unsure whether the wheel would actually fit on..

What I do know is the airbag actuator will be different and I can guarantee your airbag module itself will be different rendering it extremely hard/impossible to try and modify successfully. I've also been told all 3 series of steering wheels are all different to each other on the R33 GTRs.

I have heard of somebody fitting the Series 2 wheel onto the Series one, I believe a couple of holes had to be drilled and the Series 1 Airbag module and Actuator were used. The Airbag plugs were swapped and yeah.. Big job.

These Airbag systems were designed to save lives with their original design, I reckon just leave them - or get your wheel re trimmed

Don't risk your safety mate for the looks mate - leave that to Holden drivers.

Best of luck

I've put a S3 wheel on a S1 GTR. And i had to transplant the airbag module. Worked fine. For about 12 months then the airbag went off for no reason on the skid pan at DECA Could be related, but don't see how exactly.

I've seen an R34 GTR wheel on an R33 GTR, so thats why i'm pretty sure it will fit, but as Mitch said, i'd be guessing the airbag modules are different.
