Well put the OEM steering wheel on using this DIY last week. Worked a treat, Thanks.

Just need to straighten up the horn button, the clip musn't be in properly on that side.

Note: Although it looked straight the first time I put it on I had to take it off again and move one groove to the left.

Pics from phone, so not good.

Feels realy good and it looks so much better.

I went for a spirited run earlier today and it felt better than the aftermarket sports wheel I had.

I dont understand how but appeared more turning response through the corners. (Lighter)

probably feels lighter if the diameter is slightly larger than your aftermarket?

the other determining factor could be the physical weight of the wheel as it is relatively heavy so u have the weight of wheel carrying some of the load

My GTR didn't come with the original steering wheel and I'm looking for an early model wheel. If I'm understanding correctly, the late model steering wheel is lighter. Is that by kilos or just grams? How much lighter is it?

Hi Marko - cost me $570 off a good friend on here. I am certain it cost a lot more.

He bought it new from Nissan Japan.

I am not sure what happened in his life. He sold his GTR after having replaced nearly everything with new (around $40ks worth anyway)

and it was sold very cheap ($25k) within a day or two.

He also assisted me in getting a new dash :) and a few other new OEM parts. He had a great parts guy who works for Nissan.

Now I have found my own local Nissan parts guy :thumbsup:

I've bought 3 to date.

One for $400 which is almost as good as the new one and one for $250 which was good but an earlier model.

Will send you Pics of the newie via PM later today.P

Yes - it's the trim cleaners that change this.

Happens with Dash also. I thought the dash was the wrong shade of grey to the rest.

Cleaned with Meguairs Interior Trim detailer prior to fitting and now same/same.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
