Vic R33 Gtst purchased back in 06

[B.C]

Hey folks!

I'm Brandon, long time lurker. Bought this r33 Gtst series 1 1994 back in 06 with 70k on the clock used to be Burgandy was resprayed black before I got it(including all that rice! :P). Few basic mods cat back 3inch and an apexi pod filter. Kept it pretty stock and lived most of its life in the garage/daily run abouts. Resprayed in phoenix yellow with gold pearl in 2010, changed rims around the same time. Got the itch in 2016 to fix it up after the radiator had a small leak and I managed to rip the front bar off, after it got caught over the lip of a gutter while parked.  Cleaned up the interior and replaced the drivers side seat, passenger one is still sitting in the garage for when I have some spare time. Stock stereo replaced with a double din kenwood, rear stock speakers replaced(could see sunlight shining through from the parcel shelf in to the boot ;/ ) boot tidied up and reupholstered. still need to cover the dash surround as its coating has peeled off over time in the Aussie summers and replace the steering wheel.

 Now running a sidemount nismo cooler, bc racing coil overs, hicas lockbar fitted and boosted to 10psi @197kw on stock internals and ecu 208k on the clock still going strong. Tuned by the boys at GarageWorx in Vic Hoppers Crossing. In getting the clutch replaced today. Few too many kms and hard starts I guess and it had started to burn its face off smelt horrible.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a replacement steering wheel? Since I don't need an airbag as stock wheel doesn't have one I can kind of use whatever, I believe I'm still required to have the middle covered (no exposed metal)? Would also like something not as large as the stock wheel, as it touches my thighs on entry/exit.

Awesome. I love long-time owned cars. So much personality in them.
