follow up question: Did nissan use the same part in their sedan type vehicles throughout the years? I have trouble sourcing one for an s14, but i've seen an altima and 200sx ones on ebay that do look similar to each other. Anyone knows if those will fit the 240sx?

Thanks

before you try to pull everything apart on that wheel youll need a tamper resistant T50 torx to get the airbag out of the way of the clock spring
and not all clock springs are the same, depending on what kind of controls are mounted on the wheel. if you want to find out call a nissan dealer parts dept. and ask them to cross reference. vin number will be a huge help for that though

alright. well the temper proof bits came in today, and i took the wheel off.

Here is what my clockspring looks like:



And here is a picture of a 95-99 sentra clockspring:



Now aside from the top markings, the mounting holes and the sensor connectors seem identical. It just doesn't make sense imho for nissan to make different clocksprings for cars in the same car line. Any thoughts?

Course not, it's not like they make different headlights, engines, or anything else like that for different cars.
