New connectors on s1 r33 gtr steering wheel

[Fredrik]

I want to upgrade the steering wheel on my 1995 r33 gtr. I want the airbag, so i want an s2/s3 r33 wheel or an r34 wheel. These have other connectors than mine. My question is if it is possible to modify/swap/add a new connector on top of the old one that lets me fit the newer airbag?

You can't just swap the connector. The architecture of the airbag system is fundamentally different, in the 1995 models they put the airbag control module and the airbag in the steering wheel which is why it's huge. In the S2/S3/R34 models the control module is moved to the center console area so all that's in the steering wheel is the airbag itself. You could do the swap but most of the relevant parts are either huge money or basically impossible to find.
