I am sure if you have SRS then it is illegal to fit a aftermarket steering wheel.

I wouldn't want to be tampering with the airbag trying to pull the wheel off anyhow.

Might end up with a broken nose :D Probably wont though.

I remember a mate of mine years back tried pulling off his steering wheel and removed the center nut.

There he was bashing the steering wheel, pulling at it then all of a sudden it came off and gave him a big bloody fat nose.

The main thing you have to worry about with the boss kit in the Skylines is the HICAS compatibility so that the HICAS light doesn't stay on all the time.

Always wondered about the airbag issue. I think however if the car was standard with an airbag its illegal to remove it - but of course the question is how are they ever going to know on an import?

Apparently on the earlier R33 and R32 the airbag was like an option. But seeing as its from Japan the actual knowledge by anybody here (outside us types) as to the standard equipment levels is going to pretty skant. Mine passed through a RWC no worries.

On the JustJap website (www.justjap.com) I've found some boss kits .. they list R33, R32, S13, Supra boss kits, then below that they have 'R33 Airbag boss kits'. (doesnt give any more info)

I'll shoot them an email asking if this lets me fit a aftermarket wheel (what else would it be fore?) and if it sits nice and friendly with the steering angle sensor.

My car is S1 so the airbag was an option, I dont particularly want one though anyway.

u can buy from Autospeed the boss kit so that the hicas still operates properly!

I sent a mate of mine in America with a GTR a boss kit for his momo steering wheel that replaced his airbag wheel!

its the first 1 but the import version which costs about $200

But your mates GTR has no troubles??

the import 1 from japan works with drivers side airbag, and hicas, u just have to take the airbag bulb out of the dash coz it will light up, but the hicas will work fine!!

      Thanks mate 👍 The car was brought into the UK by a USAF mechanic until he was stationed back to the US, one owner later I bought her back in 2009. Luckily the only corrosion was on the sill seams, so once taken back to metal and treated and sealed all ok, I then undersealed the car myself and check yearly and treat any corrosion which to be honest is zero. She's garaged most of the time and hardly ever driven in the rain, but as you say most are rotten unfortunately, I was lucky in finding her as she was and still is in excellent condition.

      Stunning car.  Looks amazing!  You're in the UK?  How the hell do you stop your car rotting away beneath you?  British cars are the WORST I've ever seen in regards to rust.  Some of the cars SR Autobody have done are borderbeyond saving.

      RB20 and 25 NEO differences

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      I have up to date pics of the engine build and turbo conversion over on my instagram @skpro_jects if you want to take a deeper look.   Basically the exhaust manifold is straight bolt on and the ports match (they arent any smaller than a 25 or 26 head).    the intake ports are different shape so the 20/25det manifold will bolt up but wont match properly or seal. You will need to port match using the 25det gasket as a stencil. Personally i ran the entire stock 20neo intake setup and have configured the swirl valves and torque valve to work based on my custom parameters to help with off boost response and spool. But this is using a standalone aem v2 ecu. The stock 20det ecu wont be able to control them.

      Hi. a little later but if the topic is here. So...the exhaust is the same and you can use 25/Turbo or any aftermarket? What about intake side? Is it too "plug n play" or? (i do not remember for 100% but i think that one intake to head gasket was little bit different than on the RB25 - i bought gasket kit way back) I know that even if it "plug" those butterfly swirls would cause ECU to be confused or?   Just asking for the info 🙂 and of course the RB25 things are easier to come by
