Hi Guys as topic states I have a V36 and the steering wheel surround is beginning to look very unattractive with all the peeling over time of the original rubber like paint. Those who own a V36 will know what I am talking about.

Has anyone found a solution or even better got the part number from Nissan??

Help would be appreciated.

I have the same issues! But if you we were to get a new part from Nissan...two years down the track the same thing will happen! So the solution that I am planning to do is either ripping all the rubber off then spray it whatever colour you want or get someone to wrap it with the 3m carbon vinyl...

only way will be to remove the steering wheel & paint it, pain in the ass taking it off.

In the US they sell CF covers but they all have a cutout for steering wheel cruise control buttons :(.

you can wrap it yourself in CF vinyl too but I did this to my chrome door handle covers & they have started to bubble around some parts due to heat when the car is sitting in the sun, It's not really noticeable unless I point it out to people but I don't want this to happen to my steering wheel.

I plan on taking off my steering wheel in the near future when I have time & repaint the trim;

- use methylated spirit with a dishwashing sponge (the kind with the green scourer on the back) to take off the old paint

- 2 coats of primer then 3 coats of black semi-gloss paint

- I need to look into a clear coat that won't be too shiny when the sun reflects on the wheel

^ I used this same method when I repainted my R34GTt interior with great results but can't for the life of me remember the clear coat I used

this guy helped me source a new gear shifter, should be able to help you out: http://www.amayama.com/

probably your best bet, he was very helpful too

alternatively if the dealer has an up to date part system (FAST i think) you can just give them your VIN & it will bring up the whole parts listings

wouldn't surprise me if it cost silly money to get it in though

I'm painting mine because it would cost me $20 max in spray cans & will come up looking sweet :)

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
