I believe you'll need a HUB for the S15 steering wheel.

Should fit no problems. No hub needed. $350 is a bit too much. Does it have red stiching? Nice steering wheel anyways, i am about to pick one up for myself.

Should have picked up a Navan steering wheel. I only paid 25 bucks for mine.

i got a s15 steering wheel too and i ended up paying that much, from a ebay seller in japan.but anyways, when i tried to install that.....i had no idea what i was doing so i ripped my old wheel off and guess what... the clock spring broke into pieces cause the wire was still connected to the spring clock and the wheel. so i was pretty stupid to use force haha.anyways. to install the s15 one, i ended up cutting out that big square thing where wires are sticking out to make it flat so the s15 steering wheel sits nice and flat. probably a stupid idea again, cause i went through like 4 spring clocks already. the spiral cables keeps getting broken inside and my horn stops working.i wanna see if theres a better way of doing that also haha i already got a used spring clock again from ebay for 40.... my 5th set haha...sorry about long post with no real info lol

Wow, that sounds like a lot of trouble for just another stock wheel.

Not if you want a Air Bag steering wheel! And this thing look sweet, one of the best looking from Nissan or aftermarket!

okay i was thinking just now.....maybe when i installed the clock spring, maybe the spring was turned to one side too much and when i turned to that side again with the steering wheel installed, the spiral cables had no slack and got broken.i was testing out the new clock spring and on the label it says something about turn to one side all the way til it dont turn anymore, and spin to other side 2.5 rounds.hope that will fix the cable breaking problems hahaha

Airbags don't release themselves just because of the amount of g-force, I do believe if You want airbags you would need sensors to tell it to release. Unless I missed how an airbag works. So why pay for more weight? Unless you removed the airbag.

the car has those sensors, it come factory equipped with an air bag. in theory putting on another oem wheel with airbag will allow it to work, where a nardi/momo etc doesnt have one.

but if you are cutting off plugs, and breaking clock springs it kinda defeats the purpose

S14 has all the sensors! I am not puting it in my S13! Even the late 96.5-98 S13 had Driver Air Bags!

AnywayOk I did alittle research! All I need is a S15 clock spring if i want a OEM fit or I can somewhat grin the back of the steering wheel fame!

It's still better than having a gay lightning bolt. But like you said these are just opinions.

Now that makes no sense at all. Bigger clunky overpriced "JDM" steering wheel with a non functioning airbag, or an endless choice of airbagless wheels.

yes it fits!I have done it before I put on my Wife S14!

I don't think the weight is that much even with the Air Bag! 1-2LB at most! We love our S15 wheel!

It has already been made clear that the S13 guys are **** out of luck when it comes to the airbag... S14's have dual airbags so the S15 wheel will work

it's like an allen wrench, but it's a 6-point star instead of a hex.
