I know 240 owners on here have Nardi's installed, and if you can post them for me I would appreciate it. I have an S13, so I would prefer seeing them in an S13, but I am looking more-so at the styling of the wheel itself, so if you have one on an S14 that is fine.

If you could please post specifics as : Stlye & Size, also if you have a Hub & Quick Release, please post those as well.

I have been looking into purchaseing a Nardi down the line for my S13. I myself was looking at a the "SPORT RALLY Deep Corn 350mm Black Perf/Black-Red". with a V2 NRG Quick release. I am not sure if I should ver the regular hub or the Short Hub... like the Deep Corn and stock size. I will purchase from Aspec, because Logan is the shyt and I know I will get excellent customer service.

Thanks in advance, I will also be posting in the interiors section specifically, but I know that there is more traffic in this section.

I would get the short hub because the deep corn wheel's design places it closer to you already.

Looks like the one that I want to go with, man look how close it sits to you, is it hardcore for you to drive, uncomfortable. etc.. I am asking to figure out if I should get the Short Hub or just a regular NRG. Thanks.

To all the rest that have one and don't want to take pictures, if I had one, I would have a bunch already saved...

my nardi wheel....its a gara 3 type 0 350mm...oh yah..my sweet nardi pedals too!



oh yah..the NRG hubs are nice..but kind of ruin the look of the car IMHO. it really depends if you're going for a clean look or not..in my case i've got a nismo hub, and im gonna be getting the FET quick release (its only 1 inch and its super clean/discrete looking)

I've got a Nardi wheel with a Momo adapter and Megan quick release.

Take my advice... go a different route than I did. My wheel sticks out so far and I have no idea what to do, other than buy a new hub that isn't so damn big.

Oh yea, am I shooting for a clean look...but very tasteful... S14 Kouki Seats, Replace Dash/Door Panels/Capret, LED Gauge Cluster Bulbs, repaint center console pieces like Vroom-Chirp's, Redlinegoods shift boot, C's Short Shifter with Tomei Knob, re-lay/cover center console lid & Glove Box in vinyl and the door panel inserts with suede, gives a nice touch and looks so clean and alot better then just removeing the old twead. With all those it is just to clean it up and I need something to really accent it but still maintain the cleanliness of the interior... that would be the Nardi. Alot of the items listed I already have or have lined up, but I am waiting to get everything (except the nardi) and do a 1 day install and just be amazed by the transformation.

So yea those are my plans in a nutshell, think I gave you the idea of what I am going for....

the stuff you've got lined up for your interior sounds a whole lot like im doing..so i would suggest staying away from the NRG quick release...its nice for a track car..but its not very clean/stock/simple looking..

i'd stronly suggest the FET quick release for ya..http://www.aspecproducts.com/images.asp?theid=6112

aspec sells em for 125, they usually go for 180...long hubs (to me) make cars look funny..and if you're going for a nice clean look (which it seems), than i'd jsut settle for a short standard run of the mil hub... i got my nismo one from raretrick..oh yah do you happen to have a pic of the tomei knob?? i've never seen it..hell i didnt even know they made shift knobs..just engine stuff

Dark, thanks for the look out. I will think about that QR but a NRG Short Hub with NRG QR is not all that bad. With me being a forums whore and haveing a good memory I remember someone took pics for their sale post, here let me show yah where it "stands" in the car:

(I do have about 5 more but I really need to get my *** going on this 10 page paper I got to finish up, will be checking in shortly)

But yea if say that that QR will be best for what I am going to be looking at in terms of interior, i will deff check it out. I do not have any pics on this comp of the Tomei knob but I will snap some later today. I got it with my C's short shifter, it is very subtle and will go good with the interior, matches very well. And I also have a 3 point Tomie front strut bar coming my way hopefully by the end of next week.

Yea man that is cool. I like the deep corn though, I think the one I want is 350mm, Logan at Aspec stated stock S13 is 387mm and I like the stock sizing so yea. I wish they made a Classic Deep Corn, the Red stitch of the rally is going to clash with my interior.

just make sure you get hte quick release firstthen if its too close get the small hub

I found it MUCH better when the wheel is closer to my chest when i drift.WAYYY better

Yea with it being close to you you reactions are more responsive and youre not all reaching and shyt. I will get the regular hub first and give it a try and if i do not end up likin it, then I will just get the shorty, lets see some more nardis....

I like the big hub with the NRG Quick release because I'm taller and tend to sit all the way back and lower with my bride seat rail.

I am an average 5'9" and am about to get a clean set of S14 Seats and when I sit, I usually set the seat closer so I can have my feel comfortably on the pedals and can recline a bit. I am not currently listed under the Baller Status so I am sitting up stock height... I wish someone would sell put up a Bride seat that is in good condition, or I have been seeing some Sparco Fighters for sale in the classifieds, wish they were in Red, I would pick it up...
