QX4 To Q45 Steering Wheel Swap

[Miyabita_Y33]

Both of these wheels look similar. However I search and came up with very little.

Will a 2001 QX4 steering wheel swap into a Y33 (1997)?

Will the Cruise Control swap over?

Will my airbag Swap over?

Any help would be appreciated!

If I recall correctly, the air bag connector is the main issue. But that may have been only on a G50.

The other things should attach (easily or with "custom" work) to the wheel.

I've compared a few other Infiniti/Nissan steering wheel pics and they seem to share the basic mounting method/holes, it's the air bag connector that's usually differet.

Thanks for the help... I may be buying a QX4 wheel soon because I cannot find a Q45 Black with wood grain sterring wheel.

I want it to be "Wood Grain Im Grippin"

Thanks again

So, you are paying $235.00 for the airbag , and how much was your Wheel?

[Miyabita_Y33]

Bought a QX4 Wheel and will follow up when I recieve it.

(Write up included)

[heywier427]

i paid 300 shipped for the wheel!!!! this turned out to be expensive!

but i confermed alot of questions so that makes it worth it!

[Miyabita_Y33]

Finally got the wheel



Wood well thought it would be the same but close enough

The wheel fit perfectly, After a test fit I pulled the internals from my Q45 and swapped them with my QX4 wheel and thats it wood wheel.

The QX4 had a different ABS plug, Cruise, and Extra plug?

Work = 2 out of 10.......Easy

Let me know if you have any questions

[bullittandy]

Well done!!

This is an excellent mod. How does the wood compare in reallife versus the pic. The pic looks pretty good.

[gammer_ghn]

i love the idea and your car looks sexy but i had a question umm.. does the wood match the wood inside??

[Miyabita_Y33]

The pic doesnt give it much justice... The color is very similar and im starting not to notice

its about a 90% match

Thanks for the comments I also got a grill today heres a pic
