but i love little wheels.

i dunno, maybe its coz im a small guy, i find the wheel really large... and the fact that my stock wheel has peeling vinyl, i've wrapped it in a huge fat wheel cover...

cool to hear that people love the stockie, coz thats what i got :)

any recommendations on aftermarket examples?

p.s. chef, check for a reply in about 2 seconds :)

SKYLINEGTR - the GTR shop in NZ has them... u could order one from there... they are identical to the stock GTST one but obviously have GTR instead of the skyline S like the GTSTs.

i only replaced mine cause the stock one was rooted... i just got a cheapo autotechnia one cause i cant justify spending 500 on a steering wheel... maybe later when there isnt anything else worth doing on the car i will get something like this...

they dont have them on their site just email them cause i remember them having them a while back... the shipping is stuff all and its in NZ dollar prices so when you convert it over you save a fair bit :wave:

ive used them before to get my GTR indicators and front bonnet latch assembly.

hey dan, i had a momo corse wheel on my old car - the best 300 bucks i ever spent. If you like your current wheel i would suggest that you take it to an auto trimmer (gary blackmann in richmond is very good - but not cheap) and get your wheel retrimmed. They can make it fatter/slimmer and in what ever colour leather you want ;)

My car came with a momo commander. I reckon its awesome.. an aftermarket craps over any other factory steering wheel and while i would never have been convinced b4 to spend that money on just a wheel i would spend it now.

Just the way you can grip it just for cruising, just the weight of the thing, or just how u can really wrench it when hooking into a turn.

Mine is the type with the slightly squared off bottom end.. like this

I reckon that is pretty nice too - gives you a bit of extra leg room when driving.

i think every car i own after now is going to have to have one.. i'm a convert!

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
