Does an R34 GTR steering wheel fit an R33 GTR?

[jlnewton]

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

Seeings a series 2 wheel will fit a series 1 I don't see how if a 34 wheel fits a series 2 it wouldn't fit a series 1.

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.

i wanna put one on my s2 r33 gtst, but havent got the $$ for one yet, instead bought r34 vspec seats to go in

but yeah id imagine it would work at it would just have a plug and a motor or whateva inside the wheel

the ecu would do the rest of the work then

who wants to crash one n find out? j/k

it should work, the airbag only need a signal to ign it. if the plug the same, u could just direct plug in..if not, re-wire it.
