Car currently has HKB boss and knackered Italvolanti wooden wheel.

Looking to replace with leather trimmed wheel close to original size, (370mm)? to lighten steering effort at parking speeds for wifey.

Not interested in wank factor of $$$$ wheel. Just something decent. Any suggestions? Shops, websites etc?

thanks,

Max.

If your power steering/HICAS is working correctly, the low speed steering is light enough to park with one hand.

Look for second hand, good condition MOMO, Nardi, or standard wheel. I have a Nardi that needs retrimming for cheap, PM me if interested.

I just bought a Omp one off ebay for 95 dollars looks good and is pretty strong and feels good it's like a fuzzy material

You mean suede?

What do people do about padding in the center of their wheel? I always knew it it was illegal to have a non padded center.

I got pulled over on Friday and got told off for it.

Thanks. I suspect that the steering is heavier than it should be but I do not know enough to verify this. Mechanic who tuned the car says HICAS is locked out. I am thinking of finding a a specialist steering / suspension shop to have a look at it. Can anyone recommend somewhere within striking distance of St. George / Sutherland area of Sydney?

Better off taking it to someone that knows Nissan cars. Unigroup sound to be good. You also have CRD. I never used a workshop so I can't recommend. Check under your parcel shelf in the boot, driver's side. If there's a computer still there, plug in the bigger plug on the right. That keeps the power steering thing active but doesn't activate the HICAS crap. Assuming you have everything else in place besides the lock bar.

I reckon 330mm is a good size. Wouldn't go bigger than 350mm, you're not driving a bus :P.

My dilemma too. I have a retrimmed stocky but it's 370mm in size. Same thing as gtr jet - got told off by the cops about my Sparco suede one.

May just "put up" with the re-trimmed stocky?

I'd keep my stock wheel if it wasn't rooted but I can buy 3 after market wheels for the price it will cost to get re trimmed.

Do you like the look of my stocky?

I'll let you into a little secret - my one just has a $15 eBay leather cover sewn onto it. I'll find the link for you if you're interested. Get your GF/Mum to sew it on and you're done.

It's not really to my taste but if it comes to the point where I'd have to run it on the street then I'll buy one.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
