how big is the standard m35 steering wheel

in reference to a cover

Size: S (steering wheel major diameter 36 - 37.5cm)

M (steering wheel major diameter 37.5 - 39cm)

L (steering wheel major diameter 39.5 - 41cm

which one would it be?

It's leather, why cover it up? Or do you mean for when it's parked?

Why on the subject of M35 steering wheels, has anyone had one recovered in leather in the sydney region? I've got on to a mob called The Leather Doctor that I will get a quote from when I'm ready, I was just going to get the wheel redyed and protected but I discovered some damage to the centre area where it meets the airbag module. It's obviously been rubbing against it and it's broken the leather in a small area. So looks like a complete recover for me :D Maybe I get it in wine red leather with black stitching.

surely someone can answer this?

Diameter is 365mm, but the std leather wrap is a pretty good look, those wheel covers are big step backwards if you ask me...

Still if we all liked the same thing, everybody would be driving Stageas, and who wants that?

I was going to say something similar but was afraid I would offend :P

So I refrained, but walked away wondering why you would cover such an item of beauty with a cover that belongs on a nasty factory wheel!

BTW, I believe Black Needle Upholstery, out in Penrith will also recover a steering wheel for a fairly reasonable price. I only say this because most trimmers refuse to do steering wheels.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
