I forgot to post this a few weeks ago.

My car was the volunteer car for JDM Accessories parts including their new wheels.

They're a fair but chunkier than stock but deffs worth the upgrade. Been running for over a month now and it's way nicer to use than stock.

 

Would recommend for the price. 

This isn't a sale post. Just a recommendation incase you get the usual trash quality v36 wheel.

Mention  me when you purchase and he may even give you a discount :)

Do they have a better button bezel such that the paint doesn't scratch off the plastic so damn easily?

Also, does it feel weird at all with the flat bottom when doing full turns? I just can't help but think the discontinuity in the shape would feel a bit odd.

I've had  steering wheels and my friend has also has 2 and none of them have ever had this scratching issue.. i find it weird that its so "common" yet we've been through 4 and never once had the issue.

 

It doesn't come with those, you transplant those from the old wheel. Only takes 15 mins to do (super simple DIY)

You actually dont really notice it. It was weird the first 3 or 4 times but you easily adjust.

So I'll have to get mine wrapped then.

I haven't scratched mine but it did have a couple of scratches on it already. Maybe the previous owner didn't clip their fingernails regularly? :)

Care to message me the link to the supplier? I'm keen to know how much it'll cost me. Would be nice to have a fatter wheel.

The button Bezel on my 370 was pretty well scratched when I purchased the car. Purchased a new Bezel using Amayama. Better quality, will not scratch. Let me know if you want the part number.

I'm all ears, as I've been dubious about replacing it with another OEM one in case if it's the same materials/coatings. I was going to get mine wrapped.

Just checking, this is the bezel with cutouts for just the buttons on the left side for the stereo control, phone, back button and voice control, yeah?

Edited by The Max

Yeah the part you will get is definitely an upgrade in quality. In fact its nearly impossible to scratch I reckon.

Part Number ; COVER,PLASTIC Nissan 48463JK00A is without the buttons. A bit of google or put that part number into Amayama or Partsouq and you will find yours.

If you youtube steering wheel removal G37 or similar you will find a DYI on how to remove the steering wheel. IT takes about 15 mins with the right tools.

From memory you will need a 1/4 Socket and a T20H torx driver.

Good Luck.

If 48463JK00A is without the buttons, that will not be suitable for me, as I have buttons on the left side of the wheel and so the bezel needs to have the cutouts to accommodate them.

I think I'll just remove my wheel one day, disassemble it and look for the part number imprinted on it.

Lol i think he means its just the shroud without the buttons

 

As in you dont get the literal buttons. Cutout will still be there.

 

Also super easy to take off. Would be alot easier to take apart and Repaint/Wrap it yourself compared to buying a new one.

That's what I was hoping he meant, despite the fact I explicitly asked about the cutouts and not the actual (not literal) buttons themselves. Yes, I know I'm a grammar nazi but I just hate the overly misused word, "literal".

Anyway, the reason why I'm a little concerned is that when I looked up the data for that part number in two different drawings from Nissan's EPC sheets, the same part number appeared with the cutouts in one drawing (possibly hinting at cruise control on the right side) and no cutouts at all in another drawing (as well as no button cluster).

Given all that, you can see why with so much ambiguity from user and manufacturer alike, I'm a little dubious.

I have a spare one at home. when i get home ill get you the part number from it.

Legend. Thanks dude.

For anyone else who may be curious, Amayama seem to be the only guys carrying that particular part number. That being said, when I search based on my VIN, it claims to be a 48463-JK01A instead of 48463-JK00A. Luckily Amayama carries that one too. I already checked with Partsouq and they carry neither.

    • 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.
