G'day Guys,

Anyone know if they're direct fit? I've got the series 1 dash cluster and steering wheel. Reason for changin is simple because of airbag. If the airbag doesnt work if you swap them, I wouldnt be doing it. Thanks in advance.

This probably doesn't help, but I'd just point out that series 2 and series 3 dash are identical, the steering wheel only has different stitching on it in series 3, oh, there is a light switch under the dash (LHS under steering wheel) for the fog light switch on the rear in a series 3....but its tucked away :cool:

They're are a lot more series 2 owners than series 3...

If what you're asking is "can I fit a later series wheel to an S1 R33 GT-R?" then the answer is yes. The S1 wheel (single airbag model) has the airbag computer behind the airbag, in the steering wheel. This computer needs to be removed from the S1 wheel and attached to the S2/S3 wheel, after which the wheel will go on the car and the airbag will plug in. The airbag light will not be on, which seems to indicate that the system is working OK, but the only way to know for sure is to crash the car or trigger the sensor. I'm not ready to do this yet, so I can't guarantee you that the airbag "works". You will also need to fiddle with the horn wires a little, but it's a piece of cake.

The dash clusters (with the dials in them) are the same between models, no reason to change.

If you want to fit a twin-airbag dash to a single-airbag car, it can be done, but there is a LOT of work involved. Some guy in Germany did it and wrote it up on GTROC.co.uk, but it's quite involved - you need to buy a new computer, the airbags, dash, under-dash bracing, etc etc the list goes on.

f**k that shit. Too much mucking about for the 2 airbag and since I've found the solution to the other problem I have, I think I'll stick with my fat steering wheel for now.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
