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.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
