Hey guys, this is my first post here, so i'll introduce myself.

I'm Ben, from Vic. I turn 18 July 31st and i'm booked in for my P's!

I have a Nissan Skyline Executive 89-90(?) model. I've just got it back from a roadworthy today and all is well. But i'm interested in replacing the steering wheel.

I've found a second hand one that i want - I can post pictures if that'll help, i'm just wondering what i'll need to replace the wheel?

Thanks :D

if its an aftermarket wheel you will need to buy a boss kit that will adapt from the spline on the steering column to the bolt pattern for the wheel.

a picture would help confirm if this is needed or not.

Hey Craved, here's a picture of the back of the wheel. How much are boss kits? Can they be purchased instore? Or online?

Also, you may need a steering wheel puller to remove your old one, also available at Supercheap etc. Do you have a torque wrench and sockets? You'll need that to remove the old one and fit the boss kit as well. Also make sure your WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT when you are putting the wheel on! Common noob mistake!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
