RHD steering wheel, anyone ordered one and using?

cjwsrt6 · 12-28-2015, 10:52 AM

Found a newer style nismo wheel for sale overseas, looks like under $300. Has anyone bought one and used it, do the controls still work on the steering wheel? Any issues, thoughts?

That isn't a bad price for a steering wheel. Though I am not sure how much it would be to ship it here and everything. I don't think it is that much different from the US OEM steering wheel except for a few aesthetic changes.

Not a bad price, even compared to those I can find locally.

If I recell correctly, this is the alcantara-grip wheel. Be sure you don't mind this material for your use (especially daily). I've had a few alcantara wheels, and ended up getting rid of them for leather ones due to the material requiring maintenance I didn't want to bother with or staining my hands from the dyes used. :dunno:

....or just wearing down quickly and feeling like cardboard

I have this steering wheel, it is original Nissan. I bought it thru RHDjapan. The steering wheel controls are not included, you use your own. This is just the wheel itself. I installed mine in 10 minutes. The Alcantera holds up very well. Most auto manufacturers of sports cars are using Alcantera on steering wheels.

It is the OEM Nismo wheel. No difference between the U.S. spec and Japan spec.
