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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
