I fail at installing steering wheels. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I got my new Nardi wheel in today and I went to install it. I spent an hour taking off my wheel and wiring up the horn and to my surprise A NRG short hub doesn't work with their slim quick release.

It is physically impossible to install the slim quick release on the short hub because of that middle thing.

So, who wants to trade me a regular hub with my short hub or a regular quick release for my slim one?

Looking for a hub spacer could work too.

is this an s13? my steering column didnt stick out past my nardi slim hub...

oh well, i upgraded to works bell anyway.

khilgers · 03-04-2009, 08:20 PM

something isn't right here. That threaded portion should not be sticking out that far. On my WB short hub the threaded parts sits within the hub and the quick release has plenty of room to go on. Did you remove the clocking spring for some reason?

looks like a s13 according to the door

LayNLow · 03-04-2009, 08:49 PM

Ummm flip the hub?

LongGrain · 03-04-2009, 08:58 PM

^^^ think about that for a minute...

^^ hahaha....

GSXRJJordan · 03-04-2009, 09:12 PM

Haha, you're not supposed to use a slim hub with a slim QR. Known fact, as far as I'm concerned.

Get the full size hub and keep the QR, or vice versa - you'll like the steering wheel position anyway.

my steering bolt didnt stick out that far either.....

mrflip69 · 03-04-2009, 09:57 PM

Heh I ran into the same problem, but instead of running a slim quick release, I wanted to just run the short hub. It bolted fine, but I couldn't fit the horn because of that damn nut.

Either buy a 1" spacer from ebay, or you can trade me for a hub or quick release. I've got both--bought from jxn aka carparthookup.

FYI, if you look up the NRG site, it states specifically that their short hub is not for use with the slim hub.

LayNLow · 03-05-2009, 09:16 PM

Shit my bad. The second pic didn't load and I was tired. Doh!

ut ohhhh p-o-t-a-t-o!
(honestly... that sucks, but how short do you want your setup to be???)

Flicktitty · 03-06-2009, 11:36 AM

LOL. like stated, your not spoused to use sim on slim.

slider2828 · 03-06-2009, 11:51 AM

I have a full standard HKB hub..... Do you want to trade my standard hub for your slim hub?

PMSing Chicken · 03-08-2009, 10:30 AM

I looked on the NRG website and didn't find anything about not being able to run a slim qr on a short hub. I am used to and like the stock position, that's why I got the 360mm wheel.

slider2828 and mrflip I replied to your pm's. Thanks!
