No. Just unplug the battery and let it sit for 10 minutes. Just a safe practice

Any update on this guys?

I just bought a Bell Works short hub and it came with 2 bypass for harness and a horn harness. NONE of it works.

The horn harness isn't plug and play, i'm sure the wiring is wrong.
And also the airbag, VDC, traction control light is on.

Sounds like you might have tripped something while installing the hub.. or some other issue. Try resetting the ECU to clear those lights? I have the same setup and didn't have any issues.

thanks turns out I had the clockspring & the hub mis-aligned with the actual steering axle. My marks didn't line up b/c I accidentally used the wrong tick mark for alignment.

By the way, I have a Works Bell Short hub and didn't have any issues with needing to remove any clock spring.

My Hub kit came with 2 fuses which attaches to the orange and yellow plug and it does plug and play and does not trip on the VDC or Traction control.

However, I'm still having issue getting the horn to work because i think the wiring harness provided (wire location) is incorrect.

Also my air bag light is not turning off due to my aftermarket seat. even with a 4.7 ohm 1/2Watt resistor 5% error and reset procedure, i'm still stuck with a flashing Airbag light. I even tried 2 different brand ones too....frustrated.

Hope this helps everyone, any help back with the horn or seat airbag would be appreciated. I've followed the other thread but still no luck.

Which wheel do you have? I have the works bell short hub too (for the Z34), and it works great. The Personal horn that I have grounds directly to the inside of the quick release/hub, so I never got that to work. Not sure why yours doesn't work though.
For the seat, are you using a 4.7ohm or 4.7K ohm resistor? I couldn't find the right one at Radioshack, so I picked up a group of 10ohm 1/2watt resistors and wired 3 of them in parallel which gives me 3.3ohms. You should be able to find these at any local radioshack. I cut the plug off the airbag side and soldered them on there, no problems.

If the abs, airbag, VDC, traction control ect all the lights where on, what does that mean for everything?

You no longer in an accident could set off ANY air bag?

The traction controlled is disabled, the same as if you pushed the button off?

You no longer have VDC as if you unplugged the yaw sensor?

And what about abs? Your brakes are 50/50 I know if you pull the abs fuse. Is this the same thing?

So how are those black connectors removed? I really didn't understand because the pictures showing the illustrations are broken.

While removing the clockspring, there are two clips on each side of the unit... once you get them out, wiggle it free. Place the hub on top then screw it down. Replace the bottom plastic for the housing and you are ready to install the aftermarket steering wheel.

WARNING the air bag, VDC OFF, and the slip light (all three) will be on. I forgot to mention having to plug in the horn adapter but i didnt do that because i could not find instructions/directions on what holes i had to plug them in. ill post some pics when i get home.

Any pictures for this process? I'm confused.....

I'm thinking of changing mine.. Any advice on which works best? I'm new at this and don't want to mess it up.

i currently use a WorksBell on my G with a MOMO steering wheel. very nice.

i'd get that or a Daikei if they are available for our cars. they come with the two resistors and easy to install.

i lol'ed at that nissan takata airbag recall. my G might be included but the steering wheel is in my storage ready for self combustion. :rofl2:
i guess i will aim it at my dumbarse neighbor's house.

it can be done but there is some cutting of the hub required.
I have a post here on the forum showing how it should be done.
find it and if you still dont understand feel free to ask me.
Btw i have Nrg hub + Nrg Quick release + momo steering installed.
Vdc, Abs, Airbag everything is working normal.
The only downside is you cant use the cruise control.

Its one wire for the horn on urs right? Wat I do is make a pigtail wire and sandwich it between the hub and steering wheel to make ground. GL
