I'm not sure if that one is a quick release or just the hub, but NRG does make a "Thin Version Quick Release Kit."http://www.nrginnovations.com/...lock1(^Thats the link to it, you have to scroll down the page a little.)

this is only the hub you have to buy the quick release too. i have this nrg short hub and version 2 quick release and it is very nice.

If your planning on getting a quick release then get a regular sized one. Dont get the thin quick release cause it has a weard lock that looks like it could break. The thinker ones seem to be failsafe cause its a simple system that doesnt allow much room for error.

You will then want to get the hub addaptor like you pictured.

lol. s13 dont come with air bags... BTW the quick release kit comes w/ everything you need right(exept the steering wheel)? It seems to be a pretty good deal for $90.

^ No the quick release requires a hub.Here's what i have, btw it's the cheapest price i could find anywhere for a hub and quick releasehttp://www.koyoaerodynamics.co...o=323

you can run just the hub, but then your fingers are going to be hitting the light/wiper stalks. And obviously it won't be a quick release.

This is what you need Steering wheel --> Quick Release --> Hub

That's just a hub. You can add a QR on it if you want. Or you can bolt your after market wheel to it. I have a NRG slam hub too. Check out our after market steering wheel clan

that is just their short hub.you'll need a quick release on top of that.

i have the NRG setup.

NRG short hubNRG Quick release version 2.5NRG Lock

Quick release 2.5 has these handles built in. Makes it much easier to pull the wheel on and off.

The locks is a good option as well. It covers up the hub making it look good when the wheel is off.

I have the Nardi 330 Deepcorn steering wheel and it does sit closer to the driver slightly and the turn signal handles are in turn not as close as OEM. It really depends on the wheel you get as to how OEM it sits. Once I got used to the wheel it feels fine when reaching for the turn signals.

The hub by itself:

The Quick Release Version 2.5

The hub with the NRG lock.

All mounted up:

Total necro-posting but this is for anyone considering buying the NRG Thin Quick-Release. This is the result of (lightly) hand-tightening the bolts from the wheel to the outer-most part of the quick-release system. Can someone say inferior metal? Three of the threads busted because they are situated right next to the outer edge, one picture is both with the bolt placed in, and the next with it removed.

Is anyone getting tired of all the from-the-dead-threads? I mean this thread is great because it answered alot of my questions about quick release hubs etc but damn....

Although I suppose its better than opening new threads for the same garbage.

At least this guy knew he was doing it. It wasn't just some jackass going through old threads and bumping them like what's been happening for the past week.

The locked hub kept some fool from taking my car. Use the hub lock.
