What steering wheels will fit?

My wife wants a steering wheel cover for our 91 Max SE. I would rather just replace our wheel with one from a 240sx, Silvia, Skyline, or newer max. I would like to retain cruise control. Will any Nissan steering wheel witout an airbag work? I saw a 95 max wheel minus an airbag for $15, I may pick that one up. Also, is the puller something I can rent, and do the job myself? Is there anything else involved that I should be aware of before I buy one?

Thanks!
Tony

BTW, I know this is a newb question, but as you are all painfully aware of the search has been disabled!

search function is on the test site (BIG RED LETTERING) up above.

I am thinking about 240sx wheel, too. I think just about any Nissan wheel will fit, and I know that same year cruise control functions are the same for direct plug in. I am not so sure about the newer ones (for airbag) though.

If you are into wiring and the newer ones have a different plug, I am sure you could figure out which wires go to which function, since they are the same.

Thanks, after going to the test site and trying to search twice, with no luck, I just gave up trying. I think I will look around for another week or so locally for a 240sx wheel. If not then I will get the 95 Max one. Hopefully I won't have to do any wiring. Anyone know how difficult they are to change?

I saw a 3rd gen max with a 300zx steering wheel on. It looked sweet. I believe he didnt lose the cruise. I just picked up a 240sx one myself and Hope to be installin it soon. I will post pics on the homepage.

Please post your results. I have been thinking about a 5th gen wheel, but the air bag is quite expensive.

What about getting the wheel without the airbag? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2425937970

I believe that then I would only have the outter ring and not the center section (the actual air bag)

maybe I'm wrong?

As stupid as this might sound, but did you ever try using fuel injector cleaner? Beleive it or not, my car (92Se 5spd) was barely getting over 220 miles to a full tank. Upon using Gunk fuel injector cleaner, I got 331 miles out of the very next tank. I never thought that any of those cleaners really did anything, but I was proved wrong. Now, I add this to my tank once a month and my mileage has not decreased since I've started using it (about a year now). This would be the cheapest thing to try first. As far as the 02 sensor, look around and avoid Pep Boys(they'll rape you). I found mine at another store for $65. Mine never through a code either.
