GQ Steering Wheel Options

Hey all, as I might have mentioned in another post, my GQ steering wheel is a little worse for wear and I have been on the lookout for a replacement. Unfortunately they are few and far between online and I have been looking at alternatives.

I do know that the following wheels are straight bolt on's to the GQ steering column.

• Pulsar n12, n13 and n14
• Pintara both r31 TRX and u12
• Skyline r31, (including TI and silhouette)
• Ford corsair and corsair ghia (a pintara underneath)

However I am a big fan of the GQ size wheels, yes I like the bus sized wheel. :)
I know the size of the R31 Skyline wheel, my wife has an R31 and I have measured the sucker. I was however hoping that there might be another option I hadn't considered, something a little larger in diameter too. I tried a 360mm sports steering wheel and it was too small, I wasted about $300 on that (with the boss kit included) but my wife has claimed it on the off chance her R31 doesn't sell. I did find a U12 Pintara wheel for sale but I suspect it would be of similar size to the R31 wheel.

I was wondering if a wheel from a Nissan Navara D21 1994 would fit? Does anyone know it's diameter as well, would it be similar to the GQ? If not are there any other large wheels that might work without extensive modifications? If not I might pick up the Pintara wheel and deal with it, however I am hoping I can avoid that.

Hey Mate, What is a genuine Nissan one worth? And are they available? My wheel was rubbish but I was lucky enough to get one off the later model second hand. I know what you mean about the sports wheel, my old mans GQ has one on and it's shit. Cheeky bugger keeps eyeing mine off. Best of luck eh

Be lucky to get change from $350-$400 for a new , genuine late model wheel.....quite outrageous.
I'll be going the pulsar wheel soon enough.

Touhg Dog, i like it ;)

Mine is out of a 97 model 2.8 and needed some fiddling to get it to fit but I do like it and it suits the style but slightly more modern looking and still large diameter.

There is a write up on it somewhere here.

There is a Pulsar wheel on Ebay at the moment.

And a Pintara wheel.

Both are rather pricey but it seems the older wheels are going that way now.

Yeah one of the members on here had a later model GQ wheel and sold it to me, I installed it the other day and love it. Straight bolt on to my 89 Patrol. This thread is kind of redundant to me now, I hope it helps someone on here.
