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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
