Hmm ok. That does look a lot lighter then the momo steering wheel option.

There was a couple of options for woodgrain. The options catalogue in this post has them:

Ahh cool, I hadn't seen that. And I finally can see my suspension is a Nissan option upgrade. Wish I knew what it said about the suspension. Also it's good to see I literally have every option I would have wanted from that book.

Little bit over two weeks to go. Getting excited but very nervous at the same time.

Gathering the stuff ready in two crates ready. Just have to buy oil and filter and im set.

Big thanks to Travis (one of the few non Vtards) who found me the missing bits of trim for my.option momo that someone on here sold me and has not been helpful at all. I think some of you know who it is.

Also looking for the woodgrain door grab trim strips. Would also be keen on a black leather/woodgrain gear shifter to match but not fussed.

Good to hear you found the pieces for your wheel mate.

In Aaron's defence, he's not actually on this forum; nor has he ever been.

When he stripped the car, his father kicked him out of his home, and had the partially dismantled car removed by Simsmetal and immediately destroyed.

I'm not saying you shouldn't feel hard done by; but I can assure you, he had far more important things to worry about than some covers for your steering wheel.

If he'd had the pieces, I believe he would have given them to you.

He is a stand-up guy, and a good friend of mine.

Glad to hear it's getting toward the end, you must be pumped.

Would have been nice of he told me that the covers were missing to begin with. Otherwise i wouldnt have bought it.

I asked him for the VIN or any form of identification of the car so i could goto nissan and get the parts.

Dont get me wrong hes a nice guy the emanage was a complete steal and im happy but the whole steering wheel thing wasnt right.

But hey whats done is done

Yes there are two different colours of "woodgrain" the lighter and more common tan colour and there is a dark chocolate almost black colour which i am yet to see in the flesh.

I rang nissan for all four trims and shifter ans it came to about 900. Got onto amayama and it was 476.

Getting pretty pumped!

The part numbers might be on the back of the hand grabs...

Also If you get a VIN with the optioned parts and put them into epcdata you might find the option.

*EDIT* I had a quick look could only find http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/03-04-05-Infiniti-G35-door-panel-wood-trim-grip-handle-/230775342365

Which I believe is only half of what you need :(. epcdata showed f**k all.

I asked for the model code and VIN of the car the wheel came off with no luck. But im sure many of you have seen that gold 2004 arx that can not be complied om ebay atm. It has a momo wheel, he put a picture up of the build plate and from that i rang Lake macquarie nissan here in newcastle with unable (or to lazy to use google translate) i rang hornsby NIssan and they gave me a rough quote of 900 for all four trims and shifter posted to aus. Was provided with part numbers and went on amayama and got quoted 476 without postage.

But josh the ones you linked us too i found on import monster which are for 47 so they will be getting watched closely.

Ha looks like there are 3 different colours.

I want that colour! If i find a momo in that id do that. It wont stand out like dogs balls like the one i have will. Ohwell.

Maybe get a set of these; it'll draw peoples attention away from the dogs balls.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
