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 :)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
