I've bought a 2nd hand factory momo steering wheel for my r34. But on the right side of the wheel, the clear coat is worn and the leather started to crackle and sometimes becomes sticky. So I'm just wondering if anyone have a DIY solution to it. Thanks! :D

Yup, they do.

I've been talking about the PPC Co products (http://www.ppcco.com.au/leatherique.htm & http://www.ppcco.com.au/kits6.htm) on the thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/348260-reskin-or-recondition-r32gtr-steering-wheel - you might glean something from that.

The leatherique kit comes with dye, clear-coat, etc - so a straight forward DIY option if you're game.

Good luck with it :)

Thanks Jenna :)

And to others, you don't see cows that's as shiny as a new steering wheel walking around, do you? :P

Edit: I think I'll take a pic of it later and should you. It is nothing like the pics I saw on that thread. It's much worse lol. And because it's got perferated holes in the leather, I think the filler might cover them. But then again, I'm sure it will be better than what it is now.

Really impressed with that company Jenna has mentioned.

I ordered and paid for the kit on Thursday afternoon at about 1pm. It arrived in the mail on Friday.

I'm gonna give it a go now on the momo, will post up results later.

I've sanded back and re-dyed my cracked/cardboard hard factory momo yesterday, and I must say... That kit has done an amazing job, cannot believe how good it has turned out.

Now I just gotta wait a bit more before I can clear coat it. But I'll be posting up photos when it's done :D

Glad to hear Charles89.

I've only got praise for this kit. I've bought two so far from a local paint shop. Done two steering wheels of mine, and a friends, along with gearboot, gearknob, handbrake etc on both my cars. Comes up trumps.

Anyway, let us know how you go :)

After a few of trying to restore my steering wheel with the restoration kit. Here's the result, very happy with it:

This is what it looks like when I first bought it

After cleaning and oiling it, then finished off with a light sand.

Re-dyed and re-clear coated it.

I noted earlier for Charles where to get the kit

If you go to the PPC Co website you'll find a local store, my local paint shop stocked mine; It's really quite inexpensive too ($50):

You can also order through their website if you haven't got a local retailer.

I think after this kit, I might even take your word on GlassyLite :P

Geez, you still haven't tried GlassyLite? ;)

Geez, you still haven't tried GlassyLite? ;)

Lol, I been using cut and polish, but I think I might try a solution that lasts longer. It's $40 per kit posted yeah?

As for the steering wheel kit. I paid $64? It was express posted to my house the next day, very good service.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
