Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has the contact details of a person able to re-wrap a steering wheel in leather. My standard one is shagged and at over $1200 new from nissan i aint going to be buying a new one.Most places wont touch the job as i understand it is quite fiddly.

Alternatively if someone has a mint 32 GTR steering wheel for sale drop us a pm (or gts-t one for that matter i understand they are the same wheel but with a different horn button)

Cheers.

Possibly Paul but i'm yet to see an aftermarket one for a reasonable price that beats the standard one for looks and ergonomics. The suede sparco racing jobbies and some of the nardi wheels are nice but i think i'd rather a freshened up stock one if the price works out.

I got quoted $250aud to retrim my steering wheel back in Singapore with real leather. So i decided to get an aftermarket one, and paid $300 with boss kit in the end. Currently using the left on on the link, pretty plain and simple, just the way i like it :D . Just a suggestion if it's too costly. Just that the horn is a bit annoying, i prefer standard horns where it's easily reachable with ur thumb while holding the steering wheel.

my car came with one of these when i bought it...

nardi torino classic.

about $600, plus the boss

but it is the best steering wheel i have even driven with, im buying one for my next car, thats how good it is.

horn isnt within thumbs reach, but who needs a horn when you have a 8,000RPM rev limiter with ignition cut? :ban: *b-b-b-b-b-bang!*

mines in pretty good condition, leather is perfect..

does yours have the centre ring on the bolts? alot of them dont..

Mine's got the screws visible (no ring to cover them)...but I think I am going to need a new boss kit and get the torino refitted. It looks like the owner in Japan lost a couple of screws and put some more in but they are not straight, and not the same screws :rofl:

The leather is in pretty good condition, but a bit of the stitching has come loose.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
