who's got aftermarket steering wheel? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

hotrodv · 04-26-2005, 01:37 AM

Mine is a sparco lap5 all black, I've try to use a spacer but it's too long 50mm and don't like it, now I'll wait for a 20mm one.
Nice turn signal extender!!

I've always loved the steering wheels quick release but don't know how to buy a good one without have too much spacer in add to my hub..
(damn english!! D: )

Well, my steering wheel started coming off today. The HKB hub I got is sh#t. I am going to try to find a better hub. Anybody have other brands besides HKB?

biggie · 04-27-2005, 08:45 AM

I can't live without an aftermarket wheel now, damn huge legs.

Momo knockoff, SPW 320mm black/red stitching. Hub, 25mm spacer, and D2 quick release. Big hands do solve the turn signal problem.

Horn works, very slight modding of wheel button. Cruise unit took out of OEM wheel, rewired, and mounted under the steering column.

if u dont want the hub, how much u want for it?

I'll sell it for $40 I guess, All hubs make you loose CC, but the little peg thing to make the electrical connection between hub and horn on a CC equiped steering column is too far out. or my car is just weird. But, if you want it for $40 + shipping, let me know.

Jspec has Nismo ones. I never had a problem with it coming off though..... and I beat on the wheel alot (PS only works at like 50% and beginner drifter monkeying around with wheel

= Steerign wheel)

You can just take the buttons out and rewire and relocate though. Mine works fine under steering column and is even unseen.

I have a barely used Nismo hub just sitting around (purchased from JSPEC.com originally, then swapped out for a quick release + hub combo after a week). Feel free to make me an offer: [email protected]

hotrodv · 04-29-2005, 01:15 AM

I'm hoping I didn't get sent the wrong hub or something... all my instructions are either in chinese or german or italian... big help.

Most hubs only have one ring, for the horn. those other two rings are for cruise control.

hotrodv · 04-29-2005, 01:39 AM

Is it all as 50mm spacer..damn!! I don't fell fine with 50mm more..I need at least 20/30mm

Dumb question..there's the possibilty that the steering wheels came off when u drive? I ask cause here I've never seen one..

SilviaDriver · 04-29-2005, 02:24 AM

ive never heard of the wheel coming off, SOME people say some QRs have little play and others dont.

i believe HKB japan makes 20-30spacers

Yea, 2 of my bolts backed out and the wheel then vibrated the rest of the bolts out in a matter of 2 days because of the extra play in the wheel. Thanks for the offers guys, but I found a way to mount the wheel on the HKB more solid.

I'd like a quick release for mine but am worried about getting one that has play. I'll probably just hold off on it until I drive one in person that seems nice and tight.

BOMEX180 · 05-01-2005, 08:51 PM

Personal and Work using Boss hub with NRG quick release(which is for sale). Might switch to Splash hub which is only 1.5in thick + the raphix quick release should be in stock length

susuki1220 · 05-01-2005, 08:56 PM

MOMO RACE! i love it but i want to switch to nardi soon......

Thieu · 05-01-2005, 09:45 PM

Grant 1064.... Cheap.. decent quality...feels great...

I've already blacked out the red "GRANT" and am going to get a Nissan horn button in the near future.

zero.counter · 05-01-2005, 09:48 PM

Pilot Hub and steering wheel on the S14. Works fine with a rewired horn..

Ian · 05-01-2005, 09:58 PM

anyone with the Grant racing wheels know of any spacers that are compatible with them?

i need to space mine out a good 50mm or more

Does Grand steering wheels have 6 holes? There are quickrelease/spacers that are universal like L2 or NRG.

Grants are 5 holes... Grant does makees spacers (from website):

2" Extension kit. Installs between Grant installation kit and steering wheel to allow for additional clearance. Black rubber styling sleeve in matte black finish, inner collar and Grade 5 hardware for extra strength, ruggedness and durability.

1" Spacer kit. Use with Grant Signature series steering wheels. Replaces standard GT styling sleeve and reduces overall dish by 1 inch. Matte black.

the install kit is the little circular plate

i have the "extension kit"

i want something to go on top of that

i might end up having to shell out for a whole new wheel setup...wheel, hub, NRG QR :-\

Cheap and easy alternative to buying the fancy hubs with that built in.

NOT A GOOD IDEA SENDING ANY SORT OF VOLTAGE THROUGH AN AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL SET IT OFF, and POSSIBLY INJURE SOMEONE,

I HAVE SET OF AIRBAGS WITH AA battery.

My HKB box was green, hmm.
My car is s13.

I have to run the bolts all the way through the hub now and install nut on the other side to secure the wheel. Maybe my green box HKB was wrong. Tnx for the heads up aaron.

Dousan_PG · 05-02-2005, 11:39 AM

yeah iirc green box is for s14...
pink is what i see for s13 usually.
