1998 240sx Steering wheel HUB

[Teerawood]

I'm moving my s13 steering wheel over too my s14. I thought that the hubs would be the same.. turns out they arn't the 1998 hub is tottally diffrent.. and I can't find it anywhere.. not even on ebay.. Does anyone one know a company or a website that sells a HUB for a aftermarket steering wheel too fit my 1998 240sx.. Thanks in advance! :)

What kind of steering wheel? http://www.splparts.com/ has a hub on sale for the s14 with a factory airbag.

the fake hkb hubs on ebay will fit. jspec.com has real hkb starting at 55 shipped

a s13 hub should fit s14. momo hubs are 89-98. but with 95+ you'll have the SRS light go on. but Nismo hubs or HKB hubs have the SRS eliminator

EDIT: looks like you didnt search hard enough. yes they look cheap, but they work, 95blue240sx has it in his car.

Correct, 89-98 uses the same hub, you'll just need to remove the spiral cable first and rig the horn to function properly.

How can someone rig the horn to work properly once you remove the spiral cable (and airbag stuff)?

www.importnut.com has a nice writeup.

just remove the spline cable hub that is right behind the OEM steering wheel. it is held in by 4 screws. drill 3 dimples into the back of you hub right in the middle. you can take out the small blue ring that is in the steering spline and match up the dots. does not have to be perfect. as long as it catches the dots.

slip the srs cable into the metal plate under the steering shaft.
you are done. your SRS light will blink and horn will not work. i did what importnut did for the horn.

everything works great.

bumping, if i use a s13 hub, will i lose the auto cancel for the s14?

Unless you modify the hub, yes. It's easy to do though.

any sites that show you how? importnut.NET is down and then again i remember reading it a little and doesnt say where to drill/modify

importnut.net is back up :) importnut.net (http://importnut.net) sorry, was playing around with another host and FUBAR'ed my site...bad. <sigh> Anyway, I retained both the horn and cruise control without any problems. You'll need to use a slip ring...which most hubs for the S13 should have.

Oh, and I do have info for drilling and modifying. It's all there.

Also, if there are pics that act funny, or are not there, just bare with me as I get things fixed.
