Steering Wheel Swap

[importnut]

I finally got a chance to work up a solution to the problem with horn wiring on S14's.  My original plan was a complete mess and was not reliable.

For anyone that wants to swap out their steering wheel and have a functioning horn and cruise control check this out:

I agree- another vote for this to go into the FAQ section.
Also, those two turbocharged hondas (Integra GSR and civic SI) on your page look *nice*. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;Do something about the FC, too!

VERY NICE! &nbsp;I really appreciate someone doing this. &nbsp;I am looking to get an aftermarket steering wheel soon, and I'm sure this will be invaluable.

THANK YOU!

Also- How do you like the Momo Fighter Wheel? &nbsp;What size did you get? &nbsp;thats the exact wheel I want.

Whyle we on the topic, is it hard to swap an s15 steering wheel in the s14b and still have airbag and other future function perfectly? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

As per your requests, I have posted this info in the archives.

Thanks for the compliments on the rides on my site. &nbsp;I did the turbo installs for both. &nbsp;As for the FC, it's time will come. &nbsp;Gotta make my S14 scream first!

I love the fighter. &nbsp;If had to pick one gripe, I wish it was just a tad thicker. &nbsp;The Fighter only comes in a 350mm size.

I may be newbie to Zilvia.net, but I'm no where near a newbie when it comes to tinkering <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;Quite honestly, I'd rather turn some wrenches then sit behind my computer and post &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

When you see wheels, like sparco, momo, etc...they are universal. &nbsp;They have a six screw hub so to speak. &nbsp;The part that varies from car to car is the hub. &nbsp;The hub for my civic will be different for the civic as it will be for my FC3S. &nbsp;

As I pointed out in my writeup, there is no hub for an S14. &nbsp;S14 owners have to use S13 hubs. &nbsp;This isn't a problem and is also the reason why my page exists <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;

I believe that the lack of S14 hubs comes from the fact that it is not recommended to remove the airbags....wussies...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it should wire up without any problems. &nbsp;The airbag has a whopping two wires coming out of it. &nbsp;The only problem that may arise, is that the cruise control may not work. &nbsp;I know that nissan went with a different cruise setup in later models. &nbsp;Rather than have 3 wires, there is one. &nbsp;The buttons have different resistance values and the cruise computer deciphers which buttons is pressed by the voltage drop.

So, it may not be straightforward, but it should work.

Again, thanks for all of the compliments. &nbsp;Keep your eyes peeled, I have a complete front and rear 300ZX brake swap in the works. &nbsp;My writeup is almost done except for the MC info and e-brake pics
