S14 steering wheel help. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Im trying to take a oem s14 wheel and make the diameter into like a 330-350mm wheel. Any ideas on how to go about this? Also do you think that the smaller diameter would f@ck with the airbag deployment? Never seen this done so if anyone has done it advice would be appreciated.

step one: take stock wheel
step two: put stock wheel back on car
step three: sell car and buy a bus pass

better yet, call Nissan and ask them pretty please if they'll make you one.

Despite his sarcasm, the truth is, he's right. There's no way to modify a stock steering wheel to adjust it's overall diameter. Not unless your good with a welder and a sewing machine but then you would literally be making your own steering wheel from scratch.

I haven't seen any options in the Nissan world that allow you to keep the factory airbag. There's a company called DAMD that makes aftermarket Subaru steering wheels that keep the factory style (including airbag, audio and cruise control features) but have smaller diameters, different materials and D shaped flat bottoms. They aren't cheap (~$500) but maybe something like that exists for S14's.

Well yea it should be rhetorical that im going to need to fab something up. im just going to do it myself ill be back.

A short-bus pass is more like it...
Air bags going off is like slamming your face into concrete + gas burns. No thanks
