Parker Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has the contact details of a person able to re-wrap a steering wheel in leather. My standard one is shagged and at over $1200 new from nissan i aint going to be buying a new one.Most places wont touch the job as i understand it is quite fiddly. Alternatively if someone has a mint 32 GTR steering wheel for sale drop us a pm (or gts-t one for that matter i understand they are the same wheel but with a different horn button) Cheers.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Rhino, Would it not be cheaper to buy an aftermarket one eg. Momo, Sparco etc ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118942-motor-re-trimmers/#findComment-2190288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Possibly Paul but i'm yet to see an aftermarket one for a reasonable price that beats the standard one for looks and ergonomics. The suede sparco racing jobbies and some of the nardi wheels are nice but i think i'd rather a freshened up stock one if the price works out.

PHATR32 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 keeping it original is the way to go! post up a price when you get one as im sure quite a few people have stuffed wheels. steve Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118942-motor-re-trimmers/#findComment-2194329 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeFy Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I got quoted $250aud to retrim my steering wheel back in Singapore with real leather. So i decided to get an aftermarket one, and paid $300 with boss kit in the end. Currently using the left on on the link, pretty plain and simple, just the way i like it . Just a suggestion if it's too costly. Just that the horn is a bit annoying, i prefer standard horns where it's easily reachable with ur thumb while holding the steering wheel. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/l...t_1899_13086526 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118942-motor-re-trimmers/#findComment-2195987 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HypeR33 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 mines in pretty good condition, leather is perfect..does yours have the centre ring on the bolts? alot of them dont.. Mine's got the screws visible (no ring to cover them)...but I think I am going to need a new boss kit and get the torino refitted. It looks like the owner in Japan lost a couple of screws and put some more in but they are not straight, and not the same screws The leather is in pretty good condition, but a bit of the stitching has come loose.
