Default Aftermarket steeringwheel

For those of you that know much about aftermarket steering wheels, my girlfriend got me a sparco steering wheel and a hub, however the hub is for a 350z. I am assuming there shouldnt be a problem using a 350z hub for my G35 or am i mistaken? Thanks in advance.

Make sure the hub is compatible to keep your horn.

The hub will work. This is a 10 minute job tops. Just make sure when you do the install you have your wheels set straight ahead so you dont have to take the steering wheel off to adjust the alignment.

Awesome gift. I want an aftermarket steering wheel also, but I want to find one with an airbag. I've been told momo has some as a factory option for certain vehicles in japan. Theyre expensive though to get, and to ship.

Show us some pics when you get that sucker installed, and good luck.

You could always go with the NISMO wheel... Very nice:

this is the one she got me. works well with the interior since i already i have black sparco seats and will have suede inserts and headliner soon. My car is lambo orange so i am going to try and paint the yellow parts orange.

I f*cking hate you, everytime I see that car here I drool on myself. Anyway as far as steering alignment, when I removed my S-wheel I noticed there is a punch mark on the top of the steering shaft used for wheel alignment so your pretty safe there. I installed a Momo on a Worksbell QR hub. Make sure your hub kit has the two 2ohm resistors included for the airbag light. If not get down to Radioshack. Post pics. when done.

Im going with a PERSONAL 330mm steering wheel with quick release. Leather with red stiching. I think having a smaller steering wheel helps you on the track. Ever since I got Bride Zeta III's I noticed the stock steering wheel was pretty big.

Does anyone have a step by step process for removing the stock steering wheel?
