Hey guys, I need help finding an aftermarket Steering wheel for my 1983 Nissan Datsun 720 truck, I accidently bought a 320mm aftermarket steering wheel and had to send it back because it was really small and did not fit because the hole on the HUB adapter was too small, then I found out that the Steering wheel was only for Honda's :gotme although on eBay they wrote "Universal" :facepalm: Here are some pictures to help out and some of my 720 :bigthumb:

The Steering Wheel. WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS FOR 720's, I bought it off eBay for about $50

The HUB adapter does not fit as you can see

This is how the 720's Steering looks like without the plastic cover

So once again guys, do not buy this for you 720's, I bought it because they advertised it on eBay and said it was for Honda's, Toyota's, Nissan's and etc. but when I got it, it was too small, it looks good but truly, the size makes it look like a little kids toy, here is the link so you guys can beware not to buy it on eBay or Amazon.

But on the other hand, the seller is really great, I recommend him if you want to buy other stuff, he ships fast and help you out, too bad the Steering wheel did not fit and was not bigger, lol.

Alright peeps, I did some more looking around and did not find anything that would fit from the nico sponsors. After a while of looking around I finally found some Hubs that will work in case you guys are interest as I am. Here are all the Hubs that will fit for all Nissan Datsun 720 pickups from 1980-1986, I am going to order one myself and see if it fits and I will keep you guys updated on what I order and when I install it too. Heres the info once again, I will put them from lowest to highest price.


1)This is the cheapest one and it is from Grant
Price $32.11 (free shipping)
1980-1986 NISSAN 720 STEERING WHEEL HUB (GRANT STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION KIT)
http://www.jcwhitney.com/1980-1986-niss ... terid=g694

2)This is the cheapest Hub I found from Boss
Price $20.00 (plus $15.00 for shipping)
BOSS KIT STEERING WHEEL HUB ADAPTER DATSUN 240Z 260Z 280Z 510 C10 620 720
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151090765756?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

3)This one is a MOMO Steering Hub
Price $84.99 (free shipping)
MOMO Steering Wheel Hub Adapter (Boss) Kit - Nissan / Datsun Trucks (-1986) - Part # 3503
http://www.crowderscustomizing.com/MOMO ... 3503_4.htm

4)This one is the most expensive one but its an NRG Edition
NRG SRK-142H Short Steering Wheel Hub for Nissan Datsun 620 720 240Z 260Z 280Z
Price $149.99 (free shipping)

Remember, these are just the hubs, if you want to add quick release, you will have to spend a little more, also for the Grant Hub, you will have to buy an adaptor to make the steering wheel fit. I will keep you guys updated on what I buy, which I have to wait until next week when I get paid, but I am think about buying either the MOMO or NRG, just because they are made out of steel or aluminum which last longer, plus I am in love with an NRG steering wheel which I believe I am going to buy, here is the steering wheel in case you are interest in what I am looking forward to inside my 720. :woot:
