but i love little wheels.

i dunno, maybe its coz im a small guy, i find the wheel really large... and the fact that my stock wheel has peeling vinyl, i've wrapped it in a huge fat wheel cover...

cool to hear that people love the stockie, coz thats what i got :)

any recommendations on aftermarket examples?

p.s. chef, check for a reply in about 2 seconds :)

SKYLINEGTR - the GTR shop in NZ has them... u could order one from there... they are identical to the stock GTST one but obviously have GTR instead of the skyline S like the GTSTs.

i only replaced mine cause the stock one was rooted... i just got a cheapo autotechnia one cause i cant justify spending 500 on a steering wheel... maybe later when there isnt anything else worth doing on the car i will get something like this...

they dont have them on their site just email them cause i remember them having them a while back... the shipping is stuff all and its in NZ dollar prices so when you convert it over you save a fair bit :wave:

ive used them before to get my GTR indicators and front bonnet latch assembly.

hey dan, i had a momo corse wheel on my old car - the best 300 bucks i ever spent. If you like your current wheel i would suggest that you take it to an auto trimmer (gary blackmann in richmond is very good - but not cheap) and get your wheel retrimmed. They can make it fatter/slimmer and in what ever colour leather you want ;)

My car came with a momo commander. I reckon its awesome.. an aftermarket craps over any other factory steering wheel and while i would never have been convinced b4 to spend that money on just a wheel i would spend it now.

Just the way you can grip it just for cruising, just the weight of the thing, or just how u can really wrench it when hooking into a turn.

Mine is the type with the slightly squared off bottom end.. like this

I reckon that is pretty nice too - gives you a bit of extra leg room when driving.

i think every car i own after now is going to have to have one.. i'm a convert!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
