Steering Wheels.

[Nee-san]

for the ultimate jap racing bling check out the KEY!S wheels. http://www.cardome.com/keys/op03.shtml

I'm rocking one in the 33 GTR atm. it sure is 'out there' but feels great and I am a massive wanker anyway so the little stars stitched into the rim don't bother me...

yeah baby.

they do have the pedigree. mines one like this. not suede though.

Damnit Baron ! your making this hard I really like that Keys Wheel now, the flat non suede one Thanks for the Link I don't know what I want now, seriously it's like clothes shopping with a woman lol

[Marlin]

^^^ Bloody hell!

That Keys wheel could be the best thing in the world and suck you off for all I care, but no way could I look at it all day!

I'd want them to come to the party with a serious sponsorship package to warrant a bloody logo of that size inside my car!

[msports180]

Hmmm do want a Keys wheel for my 34... Dished with a quick release so i can sit further back as im a tall lanky kent.

[Beer Baron]

lol, sorry neesan... well if you were in sydney I'd say come and try the personal grinta and the KEY!S. both feel great. marlin is pretty jealous of the appearance of my keys wheel I can tell..

mine is the semi-cone or flat type I forget which (I think flat type which does still have a small amount of dish), plain black leather, in your face white stitching! yeah baby. the one thing to bear in mind is the white stitching does get a bit dirty/dull with use. not bad but I can notice it a bit.

they are all expensive but the nardis, personals, and KEY!S all feel very nice. it's a pretty tactile part of the car and a shit wheel definitely dampens the enjoyment. spending $400 or so for a good one is worth it imo.

Agreed, never skimp on the wheel, seat or gearknob. It will always come back to haunt you...

[Beer Baron]

word. anything you need to look at or touch a lot needs the $$, gauges, wheel, seat, knob, belts etc all make you happy when they are nice.

and the fact is the cheap shit just wears out. the cheap fake leather $100 wheels last bugger all. as above my first personal grinta has been going for at least 8 years in my possession and a few more before that I'd say and still in good enough shape. $100 wheel lucky to last 1 or 2 years tops, so I'd have gone through maybe 5 or 6 of them in that time.

Thanks for the Offer Unfortunately I'm a banana bender

Do you mind if I ask where you look at wheels and that sort of interior stuff as Ebaby and some of the other places are a little hit and miss.

As for my Car I plan on doing the wheel, leave the standard GT-R seat in it, throw a harness in probably a gt500 gearknob and I only use Apexi gauges as I agree with the interior being super important to the feel and enjoyment of the car.

lol personal. I've got one of those in the navara ute. got it for $10.

for race use, a suede wheel with no/little dish + a just jap quick release is the way to go. for street driving any leather 330mm wheel is good.

I think 350 is too large and 300 is too small (although mark swears by the small wheels).

330 suede for me from OMP or sparco.

I have a deep dish OMP wheel which I like because it gets the wheel off my knees. I find that for my best seating position on the peddles, I need to reach for the wheel just a bit and my knees are too close to the wheel.

I have been looking at wheels a bit lately and found these on Just Jap. I haven't tried them but the look good for the $$$. I have heard there pretty good but like I said, I haven't seen or tried, yet.

believe it or not i finf these wheels fantastic dude i have one in my garage and i prefer it over my $1000 sparco carbon fibre steering wheel.

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

my favourite wheels of all though is the top secret personal steering wheel. i had one in my gtr before i sold it and i forgot to swap it over with everything else i removed

I just had a really poor experience with them. Tip rats.

Details? PM if necessary, waiting on quite an expensive order from them and was about to place another soon.

I have an OMP WRC in suede which I love - they do come in smooth leather.

It has a slight dish to it which is fine normally, but now I am looking at a quick release hopefully it isn't going to sit too close.

See http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pa...ui-t328473.html

I have the same in leather.

I found i needed the dish to get the wheel in a better position for me in the r32. It works well in my s13 too.

S13 has no power steering so 350 helps for leverage.

I'm not particularly comfortable with smaller wheels either for some reason. I swapped the 330 momo out of my other car for a horrible autotechnica as i just didn't like it.

most of my gear I buy direct in japan. in a pinch I'd say nengun etc could do it. or contact one of the traders who buys and ships parts from japan. it does seem a bit dumb though as most of the wheels are actually italian made but popular on japanese cars.

you interior set-up sounds great except for one thing. for use with a harness I would go to a fixed back fibreglass bucket seat. the stock GTR seats don't work too well with hanresses. in any big accident they will just snap in half and if you go into a wall backwards you'll end up in the backseat or out through the rear windscreen at worst! plus they don't have proper guides for either the shoulder or lap belts and certainly can't use with a 5 or 6 point belt with nut buster strap.

something like a velo GP 90 is excellent and can be had pretty cheap if you buy a lightly used one. I'd say $400 would be a fair budget for one. much safer and much better feel too.

What seat are you running? Any other pictures? I have a pair of matching MOmo seats that I am now having to sell as one of them has a damaged lower left corner from where a friend installed it in his car and it was rubbing on where he mounted his harness eyelet. So the drivers seat probably is only good for a playstation setup but the passenger seat is still good. Sux because the damaged seat is Jason Brights old HRT seat, its even signed by him

[badhairdave]

This is the best one i have available to me atm. It's nothing special, got it for $250 off a mate who got it off a guy who'd had a pair under the house for 10 years.

You'll probably be fine, but PM sent.

that story is enough to make me cry. I remember the day we got Jason Bright to sign the seat for you too... It was nearly enough for you to stop calling me cnt about me having got glen seton to sign his old seat in my car the year before. nearly enough.....

dead set you can have the seton seat if you want it mate. It was only my seat cause you already had a kick arse seat with pedigree... now that yours is fked you rightfully have rights on mine but be prepared for me to call you cnt for months and months if you take it...

or even better let's get you a ex skaife seat or dig up some ex mark webber merc CLK seat....
