I would like to remove the airbag steering wheel and put a sports steering wheel.

Mine is a 1996 GTst with dual airbags.

Is it possible?

Is there even boss kits for the r33 skyline?

Will the computer flip out with error codes ect.?

Or will ir just be a warning light on the dash?

Any links to boss kits would be great also.

thanks

series 1 no-airbag model FTW!!! (legal to swap out as i am not removing a safety device)

I dont know how you guys do it. Im 6ft n with the stock wheel i cant see above 40km/h or 3000rpm on the dash!!!!

I put on a steeering wheel that wouldnt look out of place on an xbox :whistling:

boss kits are boss kits for skylines from memory.

U just need to make sure you get one that is 'hicas compatible' so it can run the hicas sensor too

thank you, i didnt even know it had to be hicas.

Now a short boss kit to suit a deep dish wheel?

I want to keep controls within reach but i lurve the deep dish wheels.

pull globe ftw! thanks

You can get a plug in resistor that tricks the ecu into thinking the airbag is still in there. I have a yellow plug in my boss kit.If you knew the resistance of the airbag you could put that across the plug and then you will have no warning light.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
