Steering Wheel Upgrade?
 

So, I don't know why but I really dislike the steering wheel on the Z. I feel like my 08 G35 steering wheel had a smaller circumference, felt better in hand and looked a lot better. Was kind of playing around with the idea of swapping it out to a GT-R wheel. Anyone have an idea if it's possible or even cost worthy? What do you guys think? Also any feedback with anyone that has gone with an aftermarket wheel...just looking for a sportier look and feel.

RS4 (really like audi wheels)

My favorite style with the straight edge at the bottom and aggressive thumb grooves (from an Audi R8)

I actually really like the Z wheel, but you would be better off going aftermarket with a hub adapter.

So you're looking for meaty beaty big and bouncy in the way of steering wheel grip? The only ones I've seen to date are in Japan, and you'll have to peruse the J-blogs to find them.

Wow I was really envisioning something else until I read the rest of that sentence :rofl2:

Wonder if you can rig the Audi steering wheel onto the Z? That'd be interesting.

Gonna try removing the wheel from my A3/A4 and and see. I'm guessing most probably not but oh well let see what happens.


Oh and phelan I like your avatar :D

Coming from a 350Z i think the steering wheel is thicker and smaller. I love my new steering wheel.

Can anyone translate that site for me, I want to order that wheel. I noticed the price at ¥68250 or about $800 dollars. Rep+ to anyone that can help me order it, thanks

Some good information guys. Thanks for the feedback. I'm curious if the 08 G35 wheels are smaller or the same dimensions as ours? I really liked the feel of mine and my friend has the same G, so I might take some measurements tomorrow....

How do u order that steering wheel?

holyshit, that CF steering wheel looks :yum::yum::yum:

I would contact bulletproof automotive or Baker Tuning and see if either can get it.

do they not get cruise control in japan?!

I have to agree. That CF wheel is pretty nice. But $800 before trying to get it shipped to the US. :eek:
