The Sa Wasteland

Its annoying when your lunch break finishes and THEN you need to take a shit

Not really cause then you hang a shit after and are getting paid for it

[Weezy]

I'm on a dialler system, going on break after having a break means ass tannage for me...

When I was in the factory it was a different story

watching a doco on future weapons. The USS Dwight J Eisenhower (Aircraft Carrier) was recently overhauled, now has 2 nuclear reactors and can stay at sea for 25 years. The Super Hornets can go for 40% longer, and the weapons are connected to the pilots helmet. They have a heads up display, and it aims the missile wherever they turn their head, and fires with a nod of the head!

*nods head

And aircraft carriers now sport anti UAV/missile laser systems. Cool stuff

And they have a 'heat weapon' getting deployed to iraq at some stage for crowd control - basically a big microwave oven mounted on an APC

or a humvee. theres also a version small enough to loosely be described as squad portable. its called an 'active denial system' or some such.

All I know is get 25 kills in a row and you get a nuke.

Have you considered re-conditioning it? Leather, being what it is, can quite often be brought back from quite hideous states to near-new.

I recently did this on both of my cars, and the 12 and 17-year old steering wheels now look near-factory.

My old man's work car - a 1994 Delica, has a Nardi Torino steering wheel in it lol tempted to swap it into the GTR but I like the standard GTR steering wheel...

[dark.sky]

Ive still got the standard Type M steering wheel (same as GTR, but Skyline logo horn button). The leather on that is way gone aswell, will get it re trimmed soon - add it to the ever growing list of things to do haha.

[J - Rad]

I'm loving the KEY!S racing wheels!

[jrm]

I wish I had some before-after to show you guys how far gone you can still 'fix' a leather steering wheel. My N14 wheel I had written off and been wanting to get re-covered. I figured I was gonna re-condition/re-dye the R34 wheel, and so I'd give the N14 a go for a laugh, and I'm honestly stunned at how well it's come up.

I used the product from PPCCO - http://www.ppcco.com.au/kits6.htm

Damn cheap really, though lots of prep work with various treatments, sanding, filler, etc depending how far it's gone. I figured for $50 it was a cheap chance to have a go and see if it would work rather than forking out $250+ on the two wheels on my cars .. Eh, hey - each to their own. I don't mind trying a bit of DIY - figured I couldn't be in a worse position if I messed it up.

[Weezy]

Nardi Torino's suit the R32 dash's perfectly, had one in my GT-R

[skwiz]

Dave, if your Torino steering wheel looks the same as that, and is in as good condition..ill straight swap ya.
