Just wondering if someone can tell me for certain if an R34 GTR airbag steering wheel can be fitted to a R33 GTR series 2. I have been told that it 'should' a series 2/3 R33 GTR but won't fit a series 1. I think they are a better wheel and have found one, but I don't want to fork out the cash until I know for sure it can be fitted successfully. The wheel is located interstate so there is know way of doing a trial fitting. Does anyone know if this can be done, or has anyone done this themselves??

Cheers

they will fit

Do you know this for a fact? And even if the do actually fit, will the airbag still operate? I have heard that the R34 has a separate airbag computer that is not compatible with the R33 even if the wheel physically fits OK. I spent weeks and spoke to several experts (Nissan dealers, importers, performance gurus specialising in imports, and crash repairers) in order to answer this question about a year ago without success.

PS. MAXX, I hope you are right. But please ensure you are positive, and not just offering opinion as it may send someone (like myself) on a very expensive wild goose chase.

Cheers.

Mmmmm, it seems very hard to get a positive answer. Here is a small pic of a R34 steering wheel.

Has anyone actually tried it? Like Garage Menace I am finding it difficult to get a definate answer, and don't want to fork out the money if it won't work. It would be a nice replacement if it works.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
