I think it's very very good condition looking at that pic and the others on the site.

No lift on the joins and no marks I can see.

Well put the OEM steering wheel on using this DIY last week. Worked a treat, Thanks.

Just need to straighten up the horn button, the clip musn't be in properly on that side.

Note: Although it looked straight the first time I put it on I had to take it off again and move one groove to the left.

Pics from phone, so not good.

how does feel richard i comparision to your aftermarket wheel?

imo, it is a perfect diameter wheel but i am biased

[Sinista32]

Feels realy good and it looks so much better.

I went for a spirited run earlier today and it felt better than the aftermarket sports wheel I had.

I dont understand how but appeared more turning response through the corners. (Lighter)

[Marko R1]

probably feels lighter if the diameter is slightly larger than your aftermarket?

the other determining factor could be the physical weight of the wheel as it is relatively heavy so u have the weight of wheel carrying some of the load

Looks good Richard

My GTR didn't come with the original steering wheel and I'm looking for an early model wheel. If I'm understanding correctly, the late model steering wheel is lighter. Is that by kilos or just grams? How much lighter is it?

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

grams not kilos

U still have hicas?

[CrimsonLey]

I still have HICAS but I'm going to remove it this year and keep the components in the garage.

[Sinista32]

was lucky enough recently to get a brand new in box OEM GTR32 steering wheel.

just had to share my good fortune ...

[Marko R1]

That's awesome Richard! What did u pay for it?

U gotta post pics

[CrimsonLey]

Fyi, I encounter lots of OEM wheels on YAJ. I can help get them if interested.

Hi Marko - cost me $570 off a good friend on here. I am certain it cost a lot more.

He bought it new from Nissan Japan.

I am not sure what happened in his life. He sold his GTR after having replaced nearly everything with new (around $40ks worth anyway)

and it was sold very cheap ($25k) within a day or two.

He also assisted me in getting a new dash and a few other new OEM parts. He had a great parts guy who works for Nissan.

Now I have found my own local Nissan parts guy

I've bought 3 to date.

One for $400 which is almost as good as the new one and one for $250 which was good but an earlier model.

Will send you Pics of the newie via PM later today.P

[Marko R1]

Cool:)

[Sinista32]

Here we go Marko. Not good pics

and a dash

[Marko R1]

That is nice. So its actually a matte finish?

[Sinista32]

Yes - it's the trim cleaners that change this.

Happens with Dash also. I thought the dash was the wrong shade of grey to the rest.

Cleaned with Meguairs Interior Trim detailer prior to fitting and now same/same.
