Aftermarket Steering Wheel Hub Issues
 

So after searching furiously and reading up on steering wheel installs, I come to this:

My hub cannot go all the way in as it is sitting on top of two connectors (female) (pictured above).

These are the two connectors:

and they are making contact with the hub at these two locations:

I cannot find a way to rid of these connectors (nor is it safe to) and now I'm blaming the hub design itself.

And I have both NRG and Worksbell short hub. They both don't fit.

So does anyone (particularly the people with aftermarket steering wheels) know what the work around is on this? There is no DIY on this forum... All i can find are 350z DIYs and they do not have those two connectors.

le sigh. spent all day trying to figure this out =(

i recently bought nrg complete kit with steering wheel and it doesnt fit my nissan 370z (2011)... i am really dissapointed

All of you who are planning to buy nrg hubs for their 370z's please dont do it, it is a waste of money!!!!

You have to remove the steering wheel sensor too. The piece that you said has the ''two connectors''. Once this is removed it will fit perfect. But once it is, I've heard the slip light or one of the those lights will be on. Mine already were for other reasons so not sure the direct result.

^thanks! Yeah i called NRG earlier and we DO have to remove the clockspring. All it was is to remove the bottom plastic housing and getting to the three screws tying the whole clockspring unit down. While removing the clockspring, there are two clips on each side of the unit... once you get them out, wiggle it free. Place the hub on top then screw it down. Replace the bottom plastic for the housing and you are ready to install the aftermarket steering wheel.

WARNING the air bag, VDC OFF, and the slip light (all three) will be on. I forgot to mention having to plug in the horn adapter but i didnt do that because i could not find instructions/directions on what holes i had to plug them in. ill post some pics when i get home.

Here is the actual situation of my steering wheel removed...my problem is that i cant fit the nrg hub...please suggest some solution...i am desperate :D

find the horn and cruise wires in the column,identify and relocate them.i did it on my frontier no problem.and slice the plugs off with a dremel (making sure the hub will go down first) if you are making this install permanent then you need to be buying a backup clock spring if you decide you want to sell the car

and this way the vdc/abs/slip lights will be on? if so why is abs bypass wires included in the package?

dont have a clue on the z as i dont have mine anymore.on the frontier,i deleted the steering wheel angle sensor which is what was responsible for cutting fuel on me.actually the deletion was by accident and im glad it was.the swervy light stayed on but not after i opened the cluster :-0.clean display is what i have .good luck

so did anyone install a aftermarket steering wheel with works bell or nrg hub and quick release with out vdc/abs/slip light being on yet?

What he said^^

iv installed the nrg hub on with no lights wat so ever i drilled a big enough hole on the hub to where the plug gos in and i slaped it on didnt have to remove any connections

i wanted to do the same but some people told me that there is danger of cracking because the hub gets weaker

gonna cut mine as well

Guys if i remove the clockspring behind the steering wheel and airbag light comes on, does that mean that all of the airbags in the car will go off?
