hey all,

basically i need a straight answer, ive been searching for about an hour now over a variety of websites and i cant get a straight answer. im looking at changing my steering wheel, but i want to keep the car legal. what are the rules involving this? ive heard it has to be either momo or isotta with the correct boss kit and paper work to match? is this true? or can it be any steering wheel?

also interested in knowing the rules regarding a pod filter? anyone know what the legal rules are regarding this?

im trying to avoid attention from the men in blue as much as i can (alot harder lately i know).

cheers in advance

Michael

If your car came with srs airbag, then you must retain the srs airbag.

Pod filters must be bolted to engine bay. But better off with std airbox with high flow filter (K&N etc).

Straight enough for you? :rofl:

Stick with the standard airbox and upgrade your panel filter. Maybe look at getting your steering wheel retrimmed instead of buying aftermarket?

keep the airbox as above with a K/N style filter, and dont oil it to death or it will kill the AFM sensor wire .

if your car had a airbag stock on the steering wheel, it cant be changed unless its a airbag replacement model. $$$$$$$

retrim it is cheaper , or buy a furry cover ,,,toilet seat cover conversion

and like cara said ,,,,call them,, and expect 4 different answers on what is legal...lol

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
