Default tiny probs with new z

hey so I'm buying a 2003 350z this week.. and its clean but i have a few problems such as the rear trunk hatch struts don't work as well as the steering wheel is bunk af.
do you guys have suggestions for what struts to get or should i just buy the oem ones also what "cheep" steering wheel set up should i get to replace the stock one.
-thanks

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.

I'll sell you a G35 steering wheel with air bag for cheep... Z1 sells good struts for the hatch.

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.
