ummm yeah, i bought this steering wheel from a friend new for $40. and i know its not as good as nardi/momo wheels that you guys buy but it feels nice and looks sleek (just what i was after). well, i dunno shit about steering wheels for hte most part and i was wondering if you guys could help me. while i was worrying about that dumbass t-50 torx bit i was wondering if my wheel would even fit. yall have probably seen the bolt pattern and i was wondering if this is even remotely close to the 240 pattern or if you could post a pic of the 240 pattern so i can see if my friend can maybe machine something that would be great. here are the pics...

easy on the name brand bashing. i like the wheel only because it feels nice/looks nice (or at least similar to what most of you buy) and it was very cheap.

Standing Request!!!
When you buy something cool POST A LINK! I am still somewhat new to the 240 world and dont know where to look for this stuff. I need links for seats, steering wheels, wheels in general, suspension components, engine upgrades, etc. and I am probably not the only one.

Everybody please post links!

you bought it from a friend? was it used? if so, what car did it come off of?

if it's off of a 240sx or some other nissans (not sure which ones though sorry) it'll work.

if it's not, you'll have to get a different hub adapter. and since every other wheel i've seen has had 6 bolts from wheel to adapter....you may be in for a bit of fun trying to find a pilot hub adapter. then again...maybe not.

if that one doesn't fit the 240sx splines just get a GRANT steering wheel hub. they have the same 5 bolt pattern as your steering wheel.;)

i didn't wanna post it at first, as i'm ashamed of it. but i bought that new at autozone. i think its a great wheel and will compliment black interior like no other. sweet, so grant and pilot adapters and i'm set. thanks a lot guys :)

BTW, there's nothing wrong with pilot stuff. it's probably a rebadged Grant with a cheaper price tag anyway:D

seriously man, don't stress it..so you wanted to save money and bought a cheap product...so what..lol..you like it, that's what matters...would most agree?..who knows..die hard tuners absolutly not...those tuning on a budget...hell yeah..

personally i buy high quality stuff because i know how hard i am going to be thrashing on it and i want it to last as long as possible under such harsh conditions..and generally speaking name brand, higher priced items are of a higher production quality...

but for daily driving, occasional auotX, whatever, whatever...knock-offs are fine..:)
