Let me know too - mine's worn, and like you, I find it Waaaaaaay too big: kinda like:'avast there mates! Hard to port!'.... like steering the fairstar, without the whole breaking down and sinking issues...

I was thinking N15 Pulsar SSS wheel: same design, but smaller diameter from memory.

Even thuo some of the nissan wheels look the same, the airbag module/plugs are different and some have different black boxes built into the wheel behind the airbag module.

I had a pair of R33 GTR steering wheels. They turned out one was from a series 2 GTR and the other was from a series 3 GTR.

I have seen a few stagea's in Japan with r34 GTR wheels, but not sure if they have the airbag plug in.

Could maybe use a r34 GT or S15 wheel?

Best chance is to try and get something from the same year as your car

I have been looking for a Momo factory option wheel for a while, but most for sale are for other model cars.

My car is in at the moment getting gearbox converted to manual, so I do not want to keep the tripronic steering wheel. but the buttons on the wheel could come on handy for NOS :laugh:

a very long time ago.. i was looking at a photo worklog from someone in japan doing a swap with a s15 steering wheel...

the work log seemed to indicate it was a straight swap....

wouldnt have a clue where it was i was reading from tho.. sorry

i couldnt find a s15 wheel.... cheap enough to warrant the swap...

Does the 33 or 34 gtst wheel swap straight in with airbag fittings? the stagea wheel is too bloody big for track work

Bah... Duncan's stealing all my ideas! Next he'll be putting a lift kit and mags originally designed for a Nissan Patrol on it!

'sif I'd really do that. :(

Yeah I'd go for the S15 wheel, they are much nicer,

just make sure you disconnect the positive terminal and discharge it before removing it, or it could hurt you, and definitely don't sit on a bucket with one in it

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
