If you know someone who would be willing to spend hours modifying an aftermarket steering wheel to adapt the airbag then you'll be in luck.

I have yet to see an aftermarket wheel with the provision for an airbag, but that's not to say that it hasn't been done. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Other than that, eliminating the airbag is a both a safety and a defect issue and it's your call to go down that path if you wish, but in the unfortunate event that you may be involved in an accident, the airbag would be a handy thing to have on your side.

Good luck with it though, but if you know someone who is a competent fabricator, anything can be accomplished.

Momo steering wheels vary in price, its like ice cream. There are heaps of models etc.

Unfortunately due to your car coming stock with an air bag the only way you replacement you can make is another wheel with an airbag.

You would be lucky to find one with an airbag on it.

So pretty much, only cars that come standard without airbag may change their wheels within the legal size (330mm).

Google MOMO. Look at their steering wheels..

You can put any steering wheel on u just need to get a boss kit for it :P

But the law wont let you :)

Lol yeh, make sure you get a boss kit, its illegal for your indicators not to self cancel... Wouldn't want your illegal steering wheel to be twice as illegal :O

Not having the airbag is illegal but you could still be safety minded by wearing a full face helmet all the time whilst driving. :cool:

....your choice....

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
