Does anyone know what size the steering wheel nut is on an s13 hatch? I cannot find one that fits to save my life.

Sorry, I should have specified. That probably sounded like the stupidest question ever. I need to know the size of the threads, not the actual nut itself.

Douh! I hit myself in the nose when mine decided to pop off. Don't remember the exact thread pitch, but I remember that it wasn't at lowes or home depot. You have to get it at a bolt store or a machine shop.

Haha ya, my steering wheel fell off while I was cruising residential. The guy I bought it from neglected to tell me about the whole non attached steering wheel thing I can't find the right size at any local store.

For anyone who needs to know I just took my steering wheel off like an hour ago to realign it and the steering wheel nut itself is 18mm.

Do you have any way of measuring the pitch on the threads?
