Replacing Steering Wheel

[Krono]

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so i'll introduce myself.

I'm Ben, from Vic. I turn 18 July 31st and i'm booked in for my P's!

I have a Nissan Skyline Executive 89-90(?) model. I've just got it back from a roadworthy today and all is well. But i'm interested in replacing the steering wheel.

I've found a second hand one that i want - I can post pictures if that'll help, i'm just wondering what i'll need to replace the wheel?

Thanks

if its an aftermarket wheel you will need to buy a boss kit that will adapt from the spline on the steering column to the bolt pattern for the wheel.

a picture would help confirm if this is needed or not.

Hey Craved, here's a picture of the back of the wheel. How much are boss kits? Can they be purchased instore? Or online?

you'll need a boss kit for that style wheel - most supercheaps autobarns etc have them in stock - around $70

you'll need to find a horn button for the wheel too.

Make sure that you have the allen bolts with the steering wheel / boss kit. Otherwise you'll just have to get them in addition to the boss kit. Check on eBay for boss kits too. Pretty simple piece of equipment.

Also, you may need a steering wheel puller to remove your old one, also available at Supercheap etc. Do you have a torque wrench and sockets? You'll need that to remove the old one and fit the boss kit as well. Also make sure your WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT when you are putting the wheel on! Common noob mistake!
