Hey guys looking for a steering wheel atm for my Datsun 1200 Ute. Im preferably after a sparco steering wheel with the minimum size of 330mm in width and as shallow as possible. The one im looking at is a R323 which is 330mm, with a 39mm off set (dish depth). Its in black suede, I can get this in both a perfect round grip and also the oval grip. I've heard that suede is great for people racing because they generally wear gloves whilst driving which doesn't effect the suede but if like me and drive it everyday the suede will flatten out and become worn within a year or two.
What have you guys got in your 1200's (more so utes....)
(btw, im a big bloke so im battling for every inch haha)
Cheers Ed

get the normal leather version for a street car. It will look ordinary within months unless you wash and dry you hands everytime you hop in, and suede brush it regularly.

unfortunately I don't believe there is a normal leather version... i will enquire!

got this one in my ute
its nothing flash just a cheap autotechnica job, similar style though
works well for me, and i do the odd track day. but dont wear gloves




i was thinking about suede, but didnt know they wear quickly/easily

na looks good, only thing im not a fan of the hand lumps at 10 and 2. otherwise looks good. ( mentioned wearing gloves with suede because it apparently preserves it from the oils in your hands...

(btw F#####N clean interior!! have you got a post or something of your ute? would love to see tonnes of pics on the interior and specs!!!!!)

yeah i just noticed the lumps when comparing with the pic you posted,
its something im just used to now i guess, does look better without though

i dont really have a thread of my ute, theres plenty of info around but its all scattered

theres some recent pics here in my album, and lots of old ones

i can email other pics/specs if you like

I would like to see more pics as well, very tidy interior. That link seems broken to me ANGE

Here's a pic of his under carriage

I have an auto technica one for over 10 years and 3 cars... Still good nick but has dimples at 10 an 2 as well. Smooth leather

Thats a sexy Sparco wheel!
This time round I have chosen a genuine option wheel (bloody expensive though).
