Steering wheel replacement w/o CELs
 

So I read one of our Sponsor's threads with the NRG steering wheel replacement that is throwing a code or the VDC light..

Has anyone changed their steering wheel w/o any problems and got pics and a How-to?

If these cars are the same as 350Z/G35C, then you should have 2 resistors for the srs.

As for the VDC, don't turn the coil when installing. Just use masking tape to hold it from spinning.

Living in Hawaii....I think that you might not pass safety with an aftermarket steering wheel if you do not replace the airbags and make sure that it is functional.

I dont think that the aftermarket part is illegal....its the part about the fact that since the car came with an airbag....to pass safety, it will still need to have it. You will also need to go through recon unless I am mistaken.

Not to rain on your parade.....but just letting you know.

Used to live in hawaii for years...freaking everything needed recon..suck xxx..atleast here in sin city has no restriction..sweet

Hmm,...
Didnt know that about needing to have air bag in the wheel if it was oem that way..808 rules dont make any sense at all sometimes,...
I guess the same goes with seats then if you car has side air bags in them that you cannot change to aftermarket ones too..

All questions I would have faced with my Subie LGT if I went that way..Selling the car soon though if buyer gots the cash Friday..

the works bell hubs that we carry include the proper plug and play resistors for the airbag lights

as mentioned, the vdc light is all due to the installation - you can't turn the clockspring. The NRG instructions (at least used to) say to remove the clockspring altogether...a bad, bad idea

is there anyway to fix it ? my vdc won't turn on.. the lights on 24/7 after installing my steering wheel
