Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but this has been around since the 03 350z/fairlady z came out. The only problem is that those jerks at Nissan only made it an option in Japan. There are 2 momo versions for the z but you can't get any in the us unless you have some sorta creativity. They can only ship these by boat b/c airbag is a hazardous material for air package delivery. Plus in 05 Japan nissan dealers only made it available if you had it installed on your car at the shop. I have been trying for over year to get one of the optional Nissan Z Japan steering wheels and I haven't found anyone that can help me.

If you guys hear anything let me know!

Haha, you haven't burst my bubble yet.. You see, I'm in south Korea and a friend of mine in Japan who owns 350z is buying it for me. ^^ I wonder if the diameter of the MOMO steering wheel is smaller than the stock.. I want it smaller..

This is exactly what I am looking for... parts that the Japan & UK models have that we don't. I am looking for the door handle for the left door. Here in the US we only have a handle on the passenger side. I want the handle for the other (driver's door here in the US). I looked at Nissan's japanese sight and they have sevberal option we don't get. I wondedr how we can find a eliable source for these kind of oarts.

I don't believe they have cruise control in Japan.

I have US spec performance model, so I have a cruise control, but here in korea I cannot use it anywhere since there are way too many cars around even in a highway...

OK, time to clear up a few questions:

1) It does come with an airbag, however the terminals must be changed.
2) The cost was ~$600 when a friend bought it for me ~3 years ago.
3) When you could buy it from Nissan, they required that it be shipped and installed by a Nissan Dealer.
4) Diameter is the same as the stock wheel.(revised)
5) It can be shipped via air carrier.
6) I have a Base so I wasn't concerned about the steering wheel buttons.
7) Unfortunately from what I understand it is no longer available as an option in Japan.
8) Z1 Auto sells the Nismo steering wheel (picture posted above by mc350Z).
