I am curious to know, will a 180sx steering wheel (with airbag) bolt right in to the steering column on a USDM 240SX? I know already that if it does, the airbag will likely NOT work. All I wanna know is if it will bolt in directly or will it need modification to fit... Has anyone here on NICO done this mod to their 240SX? I have a 1990 FB and want something other than the stock USDM wheel, but not a aftrmarket steering wheels... how about an S15 steering wheel??

Can I at least ask WHY? They're kinda ugly. :/

Both steering wheels look good to me. I like the OEM stock look of the steering wheels. When you do happen to install one on your hatchback, plz keep up updated on how that went. Good luck! :bigthumb:

OK. So I have decided to get the S15 steering wheel for my 240. I still need to see if anyone else has done this before and were any modifications needed to get it to fit. Main reason I am going with the S15 is that I am gonna match some of the interior with the shade of silver on the wheel.
Time to learn to fiberglass.....
