Dang! I have interest in the "hatch struts" part of the question, mine are getting weak also. I'll wait for a re-thread

when it comes to steering wheels, with safety equipment in them... aka airbags, i would not go "cheap"

The best hatch struts I've ever used are the StrongArm ones, available direct from them or from Amazon. Recently paid $44/pr. with lifetime warranty. Part number is: 4194

Cheap steering wheels are dangerous, find a used original and be an adult.

If you want to use the body of your 350Z wheel there is a guy who custom builds these wheels so they look nothing like the standard wheel. All products used are of the highest quality and a mixture of plain and perforated leather can be used as well as alcantara.
He can be contacted on www.royalsteeringwheels.com
I have no affiliation with this company, he has recovered a couple of friends wheels with unbelievable results.
