Hmm ok. That does look a lot lighter then the momo steering wheel option.

There was a couple of options for woodgrain. The options catalogue in this post has them:

Ahh cool, I hadn't seen that. And I finally can see my suspension is a Nissan option upgrade. Wish I knew what it said about the suspension. Also it's good to see I literally have every option I would have wanted from that book.

Little bit over two weeks to go. Getting excited but very nervous at the same time.

Gathering the stuff ready in two crates ready. Just have to buy oil and filter and im set.

Big thanks to Travis (one of the few non Vtards) who found me the missing bits of trim for my.option momo that someone on here sold me and has not been helpful at all. I think some of you know who it is.

Also looking for the woodgrain door grab trim strips. Would also be keen on a black leather/woodgrain gear shifter to match but not fussed.

Good to hear you found the pieces for your wheel mate.

In Aaron's defence, he's not actually on this forum; nor has he ever been.

When he stripped the car, his father kicked him out of his home, and had the partially dismantled car removed by Simsmetal and immediately destroyed.

I'm not saying you shouldn't feel hard done by; but I can assure you, he had far more important things to worry about than some covers for your steering wheel.

If he'd had the pieces, I believe he would have given them to you.

He is a stand-up guy, and a good friend of mine.

Glad to hear it's getting toward the end, you must be pumped.

Would have been nice of he told me that the covers were missing to begin with. Otherwise i wouldnt have bought it.

I asked him for the VIN or any form of identification of the car so i could goto nissan and get the parts.

Dont get me wrong hes a nice guy the emanage was a complete steal and im happy but the whole steering wheel thing wasnt right.

But hey whats done is done

Yes there are two different colours of "woodgrain" the lighter and more common tan colour and there is a dark chocolate almost black colour which i am yet to see in the flesh.

I rang nissan for all four trims and shifter ans it came to about 900. Got onto amayama and it was 476.

Getting pretty pumped!

The part numbers might be on the back of the hand grabs...

Also If you get a VIN with the optioned parts and put them into epcdata you might find the option.

*EDIT* I had a quick look could only find http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/03-04-05-Infiniti-G35-door-panel-wood-trim-grip-handle-/230775342365

Which I believe is only half of what you need :(. epcdata showed f**k all.

I asked for the model code and VIN of the car the wheel came off with no luck. But im sure many of you have seen that gold 2004 arx that can not be complied om ebay atm. It has a momo wheel, he put a picture up of the build plate and from that i rang Lake macquarie nissan here in newcastle with unable (or to lazy to use google translate) i rang hornsby NIssan and they gave me a rough quote of 900 for all four trims and shifter posted to aus. Was provided with part numbers and went on amayama and got quoted 476 without postage.

But josh the ones you linked us too i found on import monster which are for 47 so they will be getting watched closely.

Ha looks like there are 3 different colours.

I want that colour! If i find a momo in that id do that. It wont stand out like dogs balls like the one i have will. Ohwell.

Maybe get a set of these; it'll draw peoples attention away from the dogs balls.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
