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!!

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
