as the topic says i want to get my stock steering wheel re-leathered aswell as my gearknob as i like the stock items and keeps the police away.

I've got prices from cartoys - $200 and Wilshire's - $260. (for the steering wheel alone)

Just wondering if any of you out there knew of anywhere else i could get a price from as i thought $150 was more around the mark.

cheers!

I was quoted $200 to releather the stock steering wheel a couple of years back.

From some place in the city that sells all the top line race seats and steering wheels.

Not sure if u could get the stock knob releathered as it needs the shift pattern. Maybe an R33 knob? Are they a similiar look?

R34 maybe?

I remembered an old Autospeed article on this, here it is:

I remember doing some design work for these guys, Think the ownser name is John, he used to own Global Car Audio back in the day too!

yeah I had CarToys do mine - $300 including removing and reinstalling the steering wheel (requires battery to be disconnected overnight so the airbag doesn'tt go off, hence why I paid someone else to do it).

once again guys thanks for all your help, knew i could count on SAU. Will give them a call on monday!

Just installed my gear and hand brake boot for the group buy on this forum and thats now looking top notch. Now i just have to get the steering wheel done and work out what to do with the gear knob and the interior will actually look half decent for SCS!

ended up getting it done here

as oosh suggested, they do the wheels for cartoys anyway as it turns out and i'm happy with their work! Cost me $200 and they said they can do my gearknob also for $40 which i thought was pretty good but of course there's no 'h' pattern but thats no biggie!

Looks tidy..

Whats the colour of the leather? The photo looks almost grey or is that just the flash?

Any chance of a bigger 640x480 or 800x600 photo and upload it to sau via their attachment?

I need my steering wheel done so I think I will most definitely follow your steps. :(

haha, better not do a group buy now that i've had mine done, or maybe i can get my gearknob done cheaper with the group buy, hehe!

If you guys are serious though i can ask the bloke as he was a top guy and took a lot of pride in his work.

Joel - Its not grey, definitely black, think it was just the flash of the camera that makes it look like that! I'll probably pop up on the sunday and let you have a squiz @ the wheel and maybe play with my power fc if you have time. Thats if i get that oil hose on, i got the old one off but the new bit of hose i got from you is too stiff and won't go on cause of the stupid angle i have my oil drain on! argh:(

Yep its definitely difficult to slide on especially if the attachment has a lip of any sort.

Grab a rag and smear on some rp7/wd40. Works quite well.

Just don't go overboard as wd40 i'd imagine isn't too good for the oil. :wave:

Connecting it to the motor is difficult and you will end up feeling like your going to break your forearm pushing it on.

Cut the oil drain off so that its straight, thats what i ended up having to do as mine too was on an angle or does it angle from the start of the attachment? :S

That bit of hose I gave you was the softest stuff I found in that size. The gear I got from pirtek was very very solid.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
