Default 370z steering in a Z33, possible?

Hey guys,

I find the OEM steering wheel horrible. Its so damn big! And I love the fat grip on the 370z steering wheel.
I'm wondering whether the 370z steering wheel will fit out Z33's.. i tried searching but no luck.

350 is much more sporty, and less Maxima.

how is the 350z wheel "sporty" compared to the 370Z wheel?

The 350z steering wheel is stupid BIG where as the 370z steering wheel is smaller like aftermarket steering wheels and with a nice leather grip, instead of the plastic feel.

I guess its a matter of personal preference...

thanks for the help. I think i'll give it a shot.

You showed a nice picture of a 370z interior and a crappy pic of the 350z interior...how is that a good comparison.

The middle portion of the 370z's steering wheel is like a toy. The 350z looks like a car's steering wheel....even though neither is very :nice: I think the 350z is better in terms of look - we're not talking about grip here

I can only imagine how much a new 370z steering wheel costs from the dealer.

Around $550 for the wheel itself, another $550 for the airbag, and then a few dollars here and there for assorted stuff. All pricing through courtesyparts . com.

Doesn't really seem like that price point is worth it, at least to me. But hey, if someone wants to lay down that cash instead of waiting on a wreck/race car, I would be interested just from a scientific point of view.

Just get an Isotta Zulag then. You save like $100 and get a WAY nicer wheel.

I know how much it costs in the states but he is in Canada, I'm pretty sure he is going to have to buy it from a dealer in his country being as an airbag is considered an explosive. Unfortunately, it seems that Z parts in Canada happen to be more expensive.
