R33 Airbag ???

[Unscarred711]

Does anyone know what the deal is with changing the stock steering wheel to an aftermarket wheel in that it has an airbag, do i have to get it disabled and if so how or who can do it??? I have been told that it cant be done but that must be a load of shit coz my last car used to have an airbag before the last owner changed it.

Cheers.

i am pretty sure it is illiegal to change a steering wheel that has an airbag to a non-airbag steering wheel. just what i have heard.

Oh well that sucks there must be a way you can do it but???

Just pull itt off and d/c it mate

I pulled mine off nad d/c the wire to it, just be gentle with the front part with the airbag

What do you mean by d/c the wire?? do you mean bridge it out, like join the wires together?? And be carful with what the steering wheel??

I've seen these removed, only thing to make sure of is that you get a HICAS/Airbag compliant boos kit, or else you'll end up with an annoying airbag light flashing in your face all of the time (but you can take the bulb out). Oh yeah, and disconnect the battery before you start ...

PS: You'll need a special security bit to take off the standard wheel as well !!

Good luck getting any mechanic to actually do the work for you (seeing as though it's illegal). I had enough trouble just replacing my worn Nissan Airbag wheel with a good condition Nissan Airbag wheel.

I'll do it myself, i change the one in my last r33, i was just unsure bout the airbag part as my last car didnt have one thats all
