I thought the only rule was, that if your steering wheel had an airbag standard, then if you changed it to an aftermarket steering wheel that would have to have an airbag as well.

It would make sense for the steering wheel to be padded too, but I'm not sure on that law. Think of it this way, do you want to be driving around the streets with a wooden or metal steering kinda wheel? I wouldn't.

I know how you feel though, the s1 steering wheel is ugly... I'm assuming thats why you want to change it?

i've had an aftermarket one on for almost 6 years, but recently learned it was illegal. with the strict police in victoria i've been doing my best to make my car legal in the past few months. i had my original steering wheel that was still in the garage upholstered with new leather to match the colors of my door trims and seats, and the middle padded non airbag series 1 horn section i took to Daniel Power powerstudios.com.au to have airbrushed to match it all together with the dash and car too..

it's going to look great, but i dont have it back yet. when i do i'll post a pic. it's relatively cheap if you compare it to aftermarket wheels, plus boss kits etc, works out similar. the leather before i dropped it off to daniel looked amazing! that's probably the best suggestion i have for ya, cheers

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
