my steering wheel is peeling (getting old and beat up) and if possible i would like to switch it with the 99 type. There is a nice design they have with little bumps and looks a little more spread apart but i would like to put that on one day if possible. This is not in FAQ so i think i'll be the first to post this

i belive it is possible but the only thing is a 95 airbag does not fit in a 99 steering wheel

dam....i've seen one of the infinit's on this site and they also look a lot better than my steering wheel...maybe their lower years in their style like ours will fit? anything besides 95 steering wheel a 95 airbag will fit in?

Just buy a '99 wheel with a '99 airbag or try to source the 2 items separately. The airbag will add considerably to the cost, but maybe you can unload your '95 airbag on Ebay or something to help offset the cost. . .

Anything's possible!

i think i have asked this a couple of times, i want the 97-99 se wheel on my 96 so bad. i would buy the bag and wheel if i knew it would go on.......well if you do this, please let me know. thanks, wayne

airbags are very expensive, i DOUBT i'll do this unless the 97-99 will fit with my current airbag...that's nos money right there

well the bag definitly wont fit....so NOS for you

Yep, replacement bags are HELLA-$$$$$! You might try shopping some salvage yards (junkyards) online to see if you can come up w/ anything reasonable.

I would never spend the dough on a brand new one.

probibly get one for like 3 or 4 bills then sell mine for a little back........i just wanna know will it all match up.

Does anybody know how much the steering wheel of Infiniti I30 Limited cost, and posible where I'll be able to find one.

they run about 800 bucks. try nis knacks. he has wood/leather steering wheels for a lot less. http://www.nis-knacks.com/products/m..._steering.html

i have one and love it.

hold up . your cars not an se? might be wrong but you got the se wheel installed on ur homepage. so you got a 95-96 max w/97-99 grill and se steering wheel.....have any problems w/instaling it....

Kanaka, do you have any good pics or your wheel, please post some.

Andrei

actually my car is a 97 gxe. i think the previous owner got into an accident and put the wrong front bumper on. sucks to be me...while everyone else does the 95 to 97 conversion, mine is the other way around. as far as the steering wheel, they fit on all maximas 97-99 i believe. sorry, but i don't think they fit the 95-96's. installation was a snap. just have to disconnect the battery for a good 30 mins or so to discharge the capacitors in the airbag. other than that it's just a bolt off bolt on procedure.

check my homepage. i have one picture. if you like i can email you a few more pics. but fyi, this was the only one he had in this color. but he does have a lot of the maple (matches gle and i30 trim) and the grey sandalwood which looks very sporty. if he didn't have the rosewood i definately would have gone with the sandalwood. it kinda has that carbon fiber color, but the woodgrain is a lot classier imo.

I saw that one, if you got some more pics, I would like to see them.

i just dont see why the would change the steering column in 95-99. maybe its the same.....

i'm not sure where the diffence is exactly, but according to Richard Crabbe of nis knacks these are direct replacements for only 97-99. some earlier post said something about air bags or something. not sure if that is the case, but it may be the reason. two of our other friends had 96's and believe me, if the steering wheels fit, Richard would have put them on their cars, but he couldn't.

thats what im sayin, they wont fit b/c of airbag being different. but if i get the airbag from a 97 se i dont see why it wouldnt work>?

anyone know how hard it is to even install one? is there a chance you cold blow an airbag while doing it?

ok i am going to attempt this...in the process of getting a wheel and bag......maybe ill be the first ever.

Yeah, that seems like the $64,000 question. I dunno for sure. Looks like 96shogunmax may be the first guinea pig to give it a go.

Pleeeeze report back to us on your findings - Good luck!

ive got like 30 phone numbers and they all got either the wheel or bag. some was closed and some gonna give me a call back tomorrow. gonna go in history if it works....jk but i have been wondering this since the day i bought my car. well since i saw an se wheel.

just buy the whole steering wheel+airbag from junkyards, dont pay more than $100.
i wanna do this too.

where are you getting one for under $100???/

answer to this question.......

I've seen steering wheel with bag go for $75-$100 around here, call up your local yards or search on google.

well you better jump on it. cause your not going to find one for that price anywhere.

i see you dont need it anymore, but i can find few and resell if there is interest. As for the place, you just need to know where to go and who to talk to.
