My '98 black SE steering wheel is starting to look and feel nasty. Are there any direct replacements as far as stock steering wheels go, with full functionality? Did some searching, but couldn't find anything relevant to what I'm looking for.

 

If it's just the rim, you can get a wheelskin.

 

Stock steering wheels can be found on ebay all the time, without the airbag of course.

 

paper plates and some wood glue.

 

i got a prtty fckt up steeringwheel too

i was considering wheelskins, but for 55 bux i need some pics. im concerned about the way the ends (on the pillars) will sit. i want it to look stock if im gonna spend that much money. otherwise ill stick with the 8 dollar walmart cover.



SO POST UP SOME WHEELSKINS PICS

 

I know someone on the org did an altima steering wheel swap. Looked nice too.

 

I don't want the wheelskins. OEM or :gtfo: ! lol

 

ROCKy,plz do not get the leather looking skin with some long laces to wrap kriss-kross aorund the entire steering.lol

 

You can always upgrade to an altima steering wheel... buuut it requires some wiring skills. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....g+wheel+altima

 

My dad's got a wheelskin on his Honda Accord (the stock wheel wasn't leather for some reason), looks fairly OEM.

 

define AND illustrate "fairly"

 

The wheelskins actually look really good...surprisingly good. They actually look a lot better than they look on their site. I have one on my car. I'll grab a picture in the morning if i remember

 

before wheel skin


after


I put it on cause it was laying around and i didnt pay for it. Took about an hour to sew it on tho.

 

hopefully ill see a couple in person at the big meet next weekend

 

those look cool...but you have to sow it on?..like hand sowing?...not meaning to sound dumb.....but wow for 50 bucks i figured there be an easier way to install them

 

Seems like my options are limited. Now I must find a '99 black steering wheel. If anyone finds anything, let me know. Thanks

 

i'm getting the 350z steering wheel, its a direct fit

 

4th gen to 5th gen = fail, therefore 4th gen to 350z = fail

 

okay be ignorant, I tried to help have a good day sir

 

No ignorance here, just plain ol' facts.

 

I went with the wheelskins, makes the steering wheel slightly thicker, but it's 100x's better than a crappy slap on cover.

 

They feel nice, but sewing it on is a huge PITA. I took mine off because I just made it look sloppy

 

Why didn't you ask me? I got like three in my garage.

 

pictars please

pixters please

 

Well think of one steering wheel, then think of three of them. lolz I was being sarcastic, goldtooth lives like 5 blocks from my house. He actually has some of his crap in my garage.

 

I'll try to take a picture this weekend.

Altima wheel.

 

That Altima wheel is on par with a SE 97-99 wheel... but work is definately not worth it or the time, or the value in total. I made up my mind, I'll find a good condition 97-99, preferably '99 wheel and put that in. Done deal.

 

Junkyard trip before I leave?

 

uhhh...look at post 13...i already posted pics of my wheelskin a few days ago.

 

Perhaps, for old times sake.

 

Do you even know how to take out a steering wheel? Remember I found that sweet as$ one at the junkyard and I ended up ruining it because I got frustrated at taking it off? I just started taking cracks at it with the hammer.

 

Yea, if you come by and peak inside my dead maxima you will see the HELL that's going on it there. Plus, just got some of those security bits; like T-40 to T-55, and a few others.

 

how much do those torque bits cost?
im gonna need a few for my airbags as well as possibly the steering wheel

and where do you get them?
autozone? dealership?

 

I got them at Murray's. It was like $10-15, IIRC.

 

murrays?

is that some illinois version of autozone "

 

partsamerica.com, Its the same thing as like 5 other stores, go to the store locator, u will see what i mean.
