How To Modify an N15 Nissan Pulsar Steering Wheel To Fit A GQ Patrol

Yeah I will use a bit of sheet aluminum or steel which will slot underneath the dashboard at the front and some tabs will stick out the back and screw into the existing screws in the vents just before the windscreen. I'll take heaps of pics and start a thread on it, it will become clear trust me.

Well fixed the issue with the indicators not cancelling. I went and picked up some 4mm roll pins from the local fastener shop and drilled a couple of holes in the right spot and knocked em in place. Cost me a whole 50 cents in parts. lol. I took a pic to show the mod but left the camera in the shed and its too cold to go back out. Yeah I'm soft. Will get pics up asap. All in all now its all working I'm very happy with the steering wheel. Quite a bit of effort involved in making it fit so if you are thinking of going down this path because your old bus steering wheel has seen better days it might be easier to go with an earlier model wheel. I think these look nicer though.

Here is a couple of pics showing what needs to be done to get the indicators to cancel after turning a corner. The first pic shows the 2 holes that need to be drilled out in the welded sections, take your time here as its a bit tricky cos its not a flat surface. The second pic shows one of the roll pins installed. Forgot to get a pic with both installed but you get the drift from these pics. Hope this helps someone thinking of doing the same.

I did the same conversion, only mine was by accident. I Thought I'd bought the N14 wheel, only to get home, a hour from the wreckers, to find it didn't quite work. Did the same sort of mods and now I have a standard wheel and the means to replicate it in the future if I need to. Thanks for reminding me about that. You did a better job than me though, I dont think I went into as much detail as you did with the gluing

Thanks, BigMav!!!

I love dragging up an old thread that is actually helpful..

I bought a steering wheel from a member here and was wrapped when it turned up in such good condition... I had not seen these in a GQ and it turns out it was a 97 model... looks more like a GU steering wheel.

But......... It did not fit and was a bit bummed but thought oh well I will sell it on and should not be out of pocket... that was until I found this thread and after a bit of brain power and comparing the write up to my steering wheel I was sure I could make it work.

The Late GQ looks almost the same as the Pulsar but not exactly... and after only a short time have managed to make it work thanks to this thread..

I also need to lengthen the little nob that makes contact as mine is too short but other than that it has been very straight forward.

Thanks Big Mav for this useful thread.
