vr steering wheel on a vn

[Idenity Crisis]

will a series one steering wheel froma vr fit onto a vn as i have tried a series 2 and they dont fit as i need new wheel for the car but dont wanna put a sports one on

[1991_Vn2nV]

Anything VN-VS WILL fit. Just dont get one with an airbag. Try the series 2 one again if it doesnt have an airbag. The steering column is the same VN-VS.

Yep, much better than the standard tractor tiller as well, only thing is you get a slight gap between the wheel and the plastic trim cover

I have a VS series one wheel on mine and it fits on perfectly. Changes the car completly as well. Best change I have done interior wise so far

I have a VR wheel on the VP and Vr indicator stalk and they look crap but they do the job.

dont forget the vp ss and calais wheels, look sweet and arnt off a truck like the vn execs

I have one on my VQ and i thought it was the same size as the original.

[fu2]

compared to what the vns came with its a hell of alot smaller

Definitely, mine felt like a sports steering wheel compared to the original when I first changed it over, probably one of the best (and cheapest) interior mods people who don't want a sports steering wheel can do

The wheel on my vn (berlina, so same as exec) is about 410mm outer diameter.

Can somebody with a vr/vs/calais/watever else please measure and post back??

cheers

[adam69]

Vp Calais/SS wheel is 390mm,and the stock VR wheel is about 387mm.

Ill stick to my VS Clubby one, 380mm.

The VP SS wheel is heaps smaller than a VN wheel but maybe the same size as a normal VP wheel, I have the VP SS wheel on mine. I could handle it smaller but it does look very sexy

2cm is not a huge difference.If a vn is 410mm and a ss/calais wheel is 390mm.

You notice it tho. My HSV one is only like 10-15mm smaller but feels tons.

i like them small

[stocky]

its not the change in radius that you notice. its the circumference of the wheel that is noticeable, and because they are such a large wheel to begin with, a slight change in radius will result in a very big change in circumference

But are you guys crazy? Useing a VR/VS wheel leaves a massive gap between the column shroud and the back of the steering wheel. It looks very cheap and nasty lacking class in the fit.

the column shrouds are very different on the two models and the corresponding steering wheels allow for that.

Just get a sports wheel and boss kit from ya parts shop.
I always accidentally toot the horn on VS with the set up on them.

from the front looks good but from all other angles it looks like the work of a work experience panel beater (no offence intended to any work experience panel beaters)

[immortality]

if changing to a later model steering wheel, why not change the shroud as well as they have the same steering column.

Ooops, double post, please delete this one.........

Not crazy at all, for mine the majority of sports steering wheels available look cheaper and nastier than the VR\VS wheels anyway and at least I know my wheel is ADR approved

In terms of a decent four spoke steering wheel which is what my own personal preference is I'd rather spend $25 dollars on one of these wheels than $220+ for a Momo wheel..

[Fu Manchu]

The steering colum is different between VN/G/P/Q and VR/S. The shrouds can't be swaped. The splines on the column are the same and the wheel will actually sit the same distance away from the driver between models. The fact remains that there is a whopping great gap down the back of the wheel that is very visible from the side and through the windscreen and in no way enhances the car giving it a clean look other than from the driving position. It also, i might ad, is an illeagal mod as due to the gap between the shroud and wheel, the driver has the potential to get keys caught or fingers etc and hamper the drivers ability to control the car. It is illegal!
Cover that gap in some way that looks good and you have a result that is legal.

[1991_Vn2nV]

....But why is it illegal? Or should i say illeagal

What law/ADR is it against?

looks tacky & the fashion police will defect you??
