New Nismo steering wheel!

Post by **Mixmastamunkh** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:40 pm

So i just got my brand new Nismo steering wheel installed two days ago, figured i would post it on here. it looks awesome, although the pic qaulity is sup par because i have a crappy camera. I also got a Momo hub adapter to put it in. it's a lot smaller than stock and a lot prettier. you might not be able to see the horn button but the middle of it says "Nismo" with the red "O"

very nice I want one where did you get it??

Post by **Mixmastamunkh** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:45 pm

i had the Nissan bodyshop guys at the dealer order me one from Cali. I sometimes work with them there at the shop so they can sometimes connect me. the wheel was 40 and the hub was 35 plus shipping and tax. so it was 82 altogether

Is that a real NISMO wheel?

Post by **Axel Grungy** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 7:04 pm

ebay nismo :/

Post by **Mixmastamunkh** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 7:16 pm

It's not from ebay. if it's being sold on ebay i've not yet seen it, but i got it shipped to me via nissan performance department in california.

This looks pretty similar. I don't think thats a Nismo dude, you wouldnt be paying $40 if it was real.

that's nice, i like it, btw i noticed you live in green oaks illinois, is that green oaks right next to libertyville....if so i live about5 minutes away from you in vernon hills...

Post by **hybrid_flyer** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 8:53 pm

yeah 40 for a nismo wheel sounds a little to good to be true considering how much a nismo radiator cap costs

Post by **Mixmastamunkh** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 2:19 am

nismo radiator caps bought at normal mark up price cost alot but i bought it wholesale, w/ out shipping from the factory price. -off note yes i do live less than 15 minutes away from vernon hills and found myself there just last night. go Libertyville!

I found this on some jdm parts site based in canada, they want $479 for it.You must've got a hella deal.

on a side note, i have a nismo hub, and i can't find a damn thing for it (that's not expensive)

Post by **Mixmastamunkh** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 3:12 am

wow. that's expensive, however that's canadian money and to be fair, mine is useb SLIGHTLY for one year, but theres absoloutely no sign of it being used.

Thats what mine looks like, except I have a slightly older Nimso horn button. I bought mine off a guy in Japan, cost be about 200 w/ shipping.

Nobodys trying to mean, but that thing is not an authentic nismo... And why would 'Nissan Performance Department' sell USED wheels? Im sorry, not trying to be rude, its just thing is a fake... kinda like those "first ever BRIDE steering wheels!!!1!1!"

Post by **eyustfu** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 8:48 am

that wheel is definately not authentic, if you look through the 2004 and 2005 japanese catalog, you wont see that design anywhere, its just the ebay version with a nismo button instead of the bride ones they sometimes have.

High five to loveless!

Man, I know two things.. you bought that from Nissan, somebody was lying to you when they told you they were Nissan... or if you think you can pass off replicas as authentics on this board, we will bust you. :-p Also, you're only doing yourself a disservice by knowingly purchasing something authentic. True Bride seats, Nismo/Nardi/Momo wheels, etc. are all engineering for performance and comfort, and most of all safety.

Yea, its a fake! Sorry, I think the price for those on ebay is something like $40 with shipping. But dont get me wrong, it still looks good!

Post by **Juujai** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 9:57 am

skydragon that doesnt look real either lol but i cant confirm. that sort of looks like this one http://www.raretrick.com/store...e.jpg but notice the design is a little different but i may be wrong it might be discontinued or something.

nismo steering wheels dont feel any better than stock though i dont really like their spoke design http://www.raretrick.com/store...l.jpg if i really just want the nismo logo id just get a horn.

the oem steering wheel is actually pretty nice compared to like hondas with the giant 4 spoke with air bag lol. everytime i drive my moms car or some of my friends cars i just laugh because it looks so goofy.

probably change mine later to something old school

Post by **xyoufailmex** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 12:22 pm

Yeah... Ive had plans for a Nardi wheel for the past year... not happening yet... theres always something better that I want... like coilovers, sways, 2way, etc... Ahh one day... My stock steering wheel is ugly too, its got caked up finger-grease and dirt all over it from the previous owner... I dont even want to know... I just ignore it and pretend like theres no possibility of a previous owner having "Sticky palms" and then driving...

Post by **Hellion240sx** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 5:18 pm

yea i saw those on ebay too. i was gonna buy the bride one but changed my mind. how does it feel? someone somewhere else said the leather felt awkward? i don't know maybe someone else know s what im talkming about...

i once saw a nismo steering wheel and the hub pkg on ebay for around $80 and it looked just like that one hehe

Post by **mkory** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 10:55 pm

Hey, at least you didn't get had for $400 for that thing. $40 is a good deal for ANY steering wheel. Consider yourself lucky.

Post by **Graphfixz** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 4:04 am

$400 for a steering wheel? I don't understand... Help me understand.

Does it really feel that much better then any other steering wheel? Is it the name? Brand?Does it last longer?Does it have a Coke dispenser attached to it? What?

LOL. That'd rock.

Well whatever, fake or real, it's a nice steering wheel.

So long as it holds up well, it was a good buy for $40. Can't argue with that.

I want this:

Top Secret Personal wheel - $465

That'll have to wait for a LOOOONG time though, many better uses of $465 for the time being.

Post by **Henry G** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 7:52 am

Still not a bad deal.. although I'd be pissed if a Nissan dealership sold me a copy.

Post by **Fenvy** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 8:45 am

can we make an owned pic from this thread?

Post by **spider_slayer** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:57 am

i kinda want an after market steering wheel. i would never pay over 200 for one. but an advantage of the aftermarket steering wheel is that they are generally pretty light and the stock steering wheel is heavy and ulgy
