Hi guys, I have searched and googleed and asked around the various car/electronics people I know and I cant realy get a deffinative answer so I'm hoping someone on here can help me.

I've swaped and M35 steering wheel into my C34. the plugs and wire colours are different.

I have swaped the plug over and have been assured by a very sucessfull auto electrician that the polarity of the wiring to the airbag is not important. This makes sense to me as all the car is looking for is the correct resistance?

HOWEVER it has been suggested that the C34 computer may not like the new airbag and BANG!!! as soon as i plug the battery in. As i would rather not waste several hundred dollars worth of airbag I'd like to have a better idea of what might go wrong before i plug the airbag in.

Thanks for any help.

Tom

if the airbag deploys youll have to clean up the mess too.

from memory people have pt S15 steering wheels into S14s without problems, but they are almost the same car.

i rekon just try it. thats the only way youll find out.

Is it worth checking the resistance of the two airbag modules and seeing if there's a difference?

If the NM35 airbag presents the same elecrtrical values as the C34 one; I can't see the Airbag module knowing the difference.

Either that; or put in the earplugs and pinch.gif!

As an aside; it's easily the nicest factory wheel I've laid hands on in quite a while, not quite as nice as my MOMO Tuner, but very close. Man I love that wheel...

Yeah i have considered trying the bang test but i'm not keen on 1. the waste of money 2. the mess all through my car.

Considering making up an extension lead of sorts so i can plug it in outside the car. Also now that i have thought about it a bit more testing the resistance matches an older air bag will probably do.

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.

      For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.

      WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
