The only place to buy a new one is order it from Nissan, or get one from Japan.

Your best bet is to look in the for sale section (car parts & accessories) of this forum:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...hp?showforum=12

There are always people selling various parts, or wrecking cars. A lot of people change the steering wheel in their GTR so you might be able to buy the original one from them if they selling...

Also there is the wanted to buy section, post up what you want, and if someone has what you are after they might let you know how much they want for it, and its condition. Some second hand ones are very much that "second hand" but ive seen good examples.

By Japan do you mean the usual suspects (Greenline, Nengun etc) or is there someone who does Nissan bits in particular.

It's just that I wanted a new one & like you said second hand ones can sometimes be very second hand.

Sorry, I should have clarified, I was in Japan recently and you can order parts for R32's from nissan. I was suprised, any part i enquired about they had there, i got brand new interior panels for the surround of the 2 small side whindows in the r32 coupes. Every 32 ive been in they are warped, but i can replace mine with brand new ones now

The prices over there are less than what Nissan Australian charge you... but essentially if you have to have a brand new one, the only place i know that could get it is Nissan (and it would come from japan) but if you order through Nissan Australia im sure it will not be cheap! Depends how badly you have to have a new one!

surely it would be cheaper to take your steering wheel to an auto trimmer and have it re-trimmed in black leather?

then it looks 100% new and you can choose the colour and quality of materials...

Yes, but you need one to start with. Which I don't have.

You can try www.japanparts.com for new Nissan parts

Best if you can provide them with a part number

I have used them before with most parts at approx 70-80% of Nissan Aust prices

recent quote was for a R34 GTR Vspec front diffuser

Approx $850 delivered compared to over $1200 trade from Nissan here.
