nvm figured it out... what size steering wheels are you guys using? i just got a 330mm and feel like its a tad bit small... and it blocks my rpm and speedo =/

skipped through and didnt read the thread, but ive got a nrg slim with a sparco wheel and hub, its hard as hell to turn and the wheel, when locked is loose as fu@%! havent had time to check it out but i was disapointed...

There's really no need to go smaller than 350mm unless you are tracking the car. I'm using a 320mm, but it's for the track.

yeah i was really dumb and didnt do enough research... i can always get use to the 330 but knowing i could get a bigger one id perfer a bigger one =/ shitt what to do, what to do...

do you think switching from a 330mm to 350mm will make a big enough difference to justify buying a new wheel and trying to sell my old one?

I got the NRG 2.5 quick release and it's been holding up just fine w/ a 350mm steering wheel. I took some pics, but they are at night though.

^^ do you have a horn? i havent tried to connect the horn but i connected the wires from the hub to the wires in the back of the quick release... but what are you connecting to the hub?

basically i understand how to wire the hub and quick release together but idk how to intergrade it to the car

aziatiks

It's a momo hub that's connecting the car to the quick release. i do have a horn and it works jts fine. u should know that when i got the car (in terrible condition), the horn didn't work and steering wheel was nasty. i brought it over to lucky 7 to get install the hub+quick release+steering wheel. sorry if that doesn't help bro.

If the view of the gauges is bugging you, then yes it will help. I'm contemplating getting a 350mm wheel for use on the street and then using my 320mm for the track.

i was thinking the same but if the 350mm doesnt open up my view im gonna be pissed to spend another 200 bucks on a wheel...

Mahjik

It will open it up more, after all it is bigger. Now whether that will be enough for you or not you'll just have to see. Maybe you can check around to see if there is someone local with a 350mm wheel you can try.

here are the final shots of my set up:

wonder it that would work in my case... right now it blocks the top portion.. with spacers i would think it would tend to block the middle portion?

for those with the nrg hub/quick release... did u have to modify the plastics around the hub? i have the petit gauge pod thing and had to sand it some so it wouldnt rub...

i had to sand mine (NRG quick release) down to prevent rubbing as well.

I am looking for horn wiring instruction for NRG hub, NRG Quick release and Nardi steering wheel to the FD.

1. I wonder how to connect the horn connector from the FD to the NRG short hub,
2. From the front of NRG short hub, i see 2 cables, i believe that i just need to connect it to the 2 cables from the back of the NRG Quick release,
3. then another problem i have is, from the front side of the NRG quick release, i have 2 cables out (yellow and black) but to connect the Nardi horn button, The Nardi horn button only have 1 yellow cable connector. i wonder where do i connect the black cables to?

Thanks

yay thread revival.
hey guys, i'm about to purchase an nrg quick release and mazda connecter hub, and i was hoping for an answer before i waste my money.

basically, i've heard that with the nrg hub, some vehicles that had an airbag would be unable to connect the horn on the new wheel.
point of reference-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDU3MoxMzYM

someone in this thread said his horn worked afterwards, but i believe he had an fc.
i'm just hoping for a final answer. with an fd, can the horn still work after installing an nrg short hub?

the horn will work after installing it. just wire it up right.

iTrader: (1)

can some one who had the NRG Quick release working with horn give us step by step instruction of how to wire the horn please. every one here just said it work if wire it up right, but no one really explain it though.

my case i got NRG quick release and Nardi deep dish steering wheel setup. I have the quick release and steering wheel installed but can't figure out how to make the horn work.

thanks

What hub are you using? If you hub doesn't have provisions for the horn, you'll need to directly wire it up. I used a Miata Daikei hub adapter and it had provisions for the horn and airbag. I then used the pass-through wires from the NRG quick release for the horn.

sorry for raping that old lady...

But I've got some questions:

Is it possible to keep the steering clock? It's very important for me that the self-deactivation of th eside markers work!

Also, maybe someone can tell me how long a short-hub + quick release is... is hub+quick release + nardi deep cone too close to the driver? I'm about 179cm tall, I like to sit very straight and close to the steering wheel (rally style)

kind regards

the clock doesnt deactivate the blinkers, what deactivates it is behind the shroud (maybe it is the clock and im thinking of a different thing) but either way you will retain it.

IMO short hub plus STANDARD size QR AND Deep cone will be wayyyyyyyy too far out...
