From what I hear, the R33 wheel plugs in just fine and the airbag works. But, the JDM S14 also fits, but I heard the airbag will not work.

I have the JDM S14 wheel, you would think it would throw a code if the car wasnt communicating with the airbag. So far it hasnt so I assumed it would work. Guess I could take it to Nissan to have it tested.

Does anybody know if the r33, s15 or JDM s14 steering wheel has a stock location for the cruise control controls to be installed ? I would like to use the R33 wheel but am unsure if the cruise control buttons can go on the wheel.

This isnt an R33 wheel but I had to do the same thing for my cruise. I had to "custom" fit my cruise onto the wheel. There isnt really a place for it but few screws and a drummel to trim down the edges of the cruise switch and housing will do the trick.

what all did you have to do to make that wheel work ... that is the exact same wheel I am looking at buying ... any info on fittiment or custom work would be greatly appriciated.

Did you have to modify the wiring to make the horn/airbag work? how did you get the cruise controls mounted and does it look stock? How much skill was needed to do this (I don't have much)?

At least now I know it can be done!!!
