Need help in regards to the aftermarket steering wheel law

[Ryan Zhu]

Okay so i made a mistake to remove my srs airbag off my car, and i dont want to put back my old one (really bad condition) i drive a R34 skyline (1998) which comes with a airbag which i believe is illegal, if i act dumb and try to say this car came without a airbag, how much would the fine be if i get caught? kinda dont want to throw away my genuine momo wheel i just bought

 

thanks alot

Hard choice - fancy wheel or potential life saver....having written off a Stagea and walked away with just a scratch because of the seat belts and airbags I would go for something like a GTR (airbag model) wheel.

BTW you can get Momo wheels with airbags.

but i already have made the decision, was asking about the fine behind it.

Well make another decision - sell the wheel and buy a better one. The fine is immaterial - what's your life worth?

Removal of a safety device is a pretty serious offence which will carry points.

It's flat out illegal, you'll fail all Blue and Pink slips and is grounds to be red labeled by police.

You can try the whole "I didn't know" but you'll get done and your car won't be moving, just not worth it.

What do you expect us to know the psyche of all the police in your unknown location? I've been pulled over 3 times this year in a bucket looking Skyline, bucket seat, loudish aftermarket exhaust, fmic, gauges, etc. acted like a reasonable human being and they didn't once even glance at my car. Other people get completely raped. 

Alternatively the fine should be a published number in your states road laws, try doing some research.

Wait i see you're posting in QLD, 1 point $126. The higher costs will be they'll go over your whole car and make a list of defects (which they'll fine you for each non-conformance) then you'll have to have rectified , verified, re-registered, etc.
