Steering boss V4 w/Airbag?

[DacerX]

So i need to get rid of the airbag in my v4, i have taken all of the srs system out but i can out it back in, i know that hkb have a bosskit with airbag delete but no one in NZ seems to sell it. I am talking to Fortyone at the moment to get one, but has anyone used one?

[loner]

I\'ve used one... got it from rhdjapan.

NRG do a good Boss as well, they are listed as v7+ but work for GC/GF just fine

[DacerX]

but does it come with the airbag delete and work with the v4 clock wheel?

[funkytown]

not quite sure about airbag delete and what that entails, but it works v7 on either, so assume it works gc pre or post airbag.

there is space in my NRG boss for clockpspring and horn bits and peices.

[loner]

fuck knows what a clock wheel is, but something like this is designed to fit a car that WAS fitted with air bags.

yeah thats the one that i need and the airbag delete module and if any one has tried it, but mite people that have a v4- seem to just keep all the factory airbags in

[funkytown]

ah yes right. so NRG one is identical to that. in fact i had one of those i just chucked out. lol

I used one just like that in a v6 STi, no issues... what do you want to know exactly???

[DacerX]

whats the kit no that you used, and were you able to buy a airbag delete? or did you have to make some up with some resistors

The kits comes with the resistors... it is designed for people to fit aftermarket steering wheels, to cars that had airbags.

I don\'t know the exact model number as it was a few years ago.

Why not get a multimeter and measure the resistance of the airbag wheel , then go to jaycar and buy a suitable resistor and wire it in.

That or remove the bulb from the dash.

[Roo]

Because doing that puts a current through the air bag, which I tend to avoid since you can get seriously injured by air bags.

Get something with a resistance of 2k ohm +/- 0.2k

Also it\'s possible there will be a shorting bar in the plug which you may have to remove
