Hey guys, Im looking to possibly get an aftermarket steering wheel. I love the suede feel and look on steering wheels .. like the csl wheel on the M3 for example. I dont want it to look to racey concidering my car is a daily driver. Does anyone know what kind of steering wheel this is. I didnt know if it was Nismo concidering they could have just put that center piece in with any aftermarket wheel. Or does anyone know of any nice steering wheels that look somewhat stock in the center but with with suede handles ?? Thanks guys.

I have the Momo Trek, The top and center piece's are suede. Pd. $205.00 shipped, it has a very racey feel. PM. me if you need further info. on it.

 

Anyone know which steering wheels this is ?

 

that's steering wheel is Nismo, you can aks andy @ performance nissan to get it for you..

 

honestly, not a smart thing to do for a daily driver. front end collision with no airbag can be a pretty messy cleanup for the EMS. show cars and race cars, go for it.

 

Yeah if you are short, but when you're tall like me a airbag will hurt you rather than save you. My buddy crashed his 04 Z, and the airbag caused bruising and some minor burns. The paramedic agreed and said the airbag isn't always going to save you, it might hurt you.

 

I would choose bruising and burns over my jaw in a ziplock baggie any day. But if you really must have one, I have the Momo fighter and love it. Matches well with the interior, feels great, but its not suede.

NICE!!! does the horn still work??

 

Sure does.

 

dang...gotta spend more money

 

Can you "unplug" the airbag & cruise-control, or are these items permanently severed when you install a new steering wheel?

consider if your insurance company might waive your medical coverage if you got in an accident and were hurt because you removed a piece of safety equipment that directly has an impact on the safety ratings for the 350Z.

It's like if you weren't wearing your seatbelt, you might be screwed by insurance as well

 

well i had my air bag on my last car and i will remove all airbag on the car I own.. as long as you have a good harness you will be safer then having the airbag..

 

Not true. First you have to make sure that your harnesses are mounted properly and at the correct angle to you specifically. To get that, you will need racing seats and at least a harness bar. Then you really need a HANS device to be completely safe on impact, and to wear that, you need a helmet. Then there is the issue of rolling over. If you have seats and harnesses, you will greatly increase your risk of death in a rollover. So now you need a roll bar. Once you have the rollbar, now that becomes a threat to you unless you have good padding and again, a helmet.

So unless you plan on buying a roll bar, seats, harnesses, and plan on driving around town with a helmet and HANS device on, you will never be safer than the OEM belts and an airbag.

 

well from my own experience with air bag in my pass 2 car.. with and without air bag.. without air bag dont leave you with a broken nose.. but in a S14 and with factory seatbelt...

 

I am sure there are some instances where an airbag can cause more damage than harnesses, but when it comes to life and death, the best deal for the street is the OEM setup.

 

why couldnt 350z get smaller steering wheel like the rsx.. its so big like im driving a truck

 

yeah but then again.. I don't just street drive my car.. daily/ITD track as well... but this is my thing.. I just hate airbag..
