Steering Wheel for R32 GTST

[TTT]

Hi..

My standard steering wheel (along with probably the majority of R32 GTST owners) is all peeling and crap.

So I went out looking for a new steering wheel and found a few I like.

Then it came to the boss kit..

What's the deal?? I've been told by all the places I checked that the boss kit for my car is different to the standard ones they have for sale due to the HICAS on my car.

So basically instead of paying $70 for a standard boss kit, I've been told that it is going to cost closer to about $180 JUST FOR A BOSS KIT...!!!

Can any of you R32 GTST owners out there tell me different?

Have you changed your steering wheel? boss kit?

where did you go? how much did you get it for?

if you know any places in sydney, I'd really appreciate your help.

thanks.

i have a solution, get rid of hicas...

some guy was sellinghis r32 that previously had hicas but he had it removed, so i guess he would know where to get it removed...

my mate has a silva with it, and he said sometimes the tyre people look at his tyres when there changing them and give him weird looks as to hwy they die in certain ways... ohwell.. just a thought

You know the only difference with a non hicas to a hicas boss kit is a peice of plastic at the the back of it so it can turn the sensor. Its a load of shit to pay extra for a peice of plastic that is only worth 2c. I couldnt beleive when I compared the two of them.

I got a spare one for a 32 if anyone would like to purchase it.

Thanks but I'd rather not do that if it's possible to do it without taking away the HICAS.

I might try to find out how much it would cost to re-leather the standard wheel if it comes down to it.

[Doctor]

Or even better I can trace the peice of plastic and make it for you to stick on the back of the $70. (only if it s a HKB one)

[TTT]

Doc.. how much for the spare one you have?

or how can we organise to make one up?

[Doctor]

you have mail:D

I got a hicas one for my 33 from autobarn. Only cost about $70. When I was there I asked about the 32's and they had them both at the same price. ~ $70 for HKB boss kit.

Really?

I might pay them a visit if I need to after DOCTOR gets back to me..
