Steering wheels/hubs/QR.

[Stuntmonkey]

Hey dudes,

So I'm looking for anybody whos running, or has run both a dished steering wheel, quick release and a hub.

I'm looking at getting a Nardi 350mm with an 80mm dish, and a NRG Quick release.

I've never dealt with any HICAS stuff before, but I'm told there is a bunch of goblins on the steering column and I need a HICAS specific hub? The only HKB ones that I can find are pretty big I was hoping to get away with a slim hub as I will have the quick release which extends it a fair but anyhow!

So really, my questions are;

Do I need this HICAS hub? I do plan on ditching the hicas (S13 subframe swap) but not for at least a fair while. What happens if I don't run a HICAS hub?

annnnd

Dish wheel + HKB Hub + QR too long? I'm 6'3, sit as far back as possible in stock GTR seats.

THANKS

i have a hicas hub with a nrg quick release and a omp deep dish.i am 6'2 and have my seat all the way back and the wheel all the way pushed in and it feels good not to far away but not to close either i say do it

I think if your running a Hub, QR, and a deep dish wheel, It will be too far out.

Right now I run a Bride Low max seat, with a Hub and a full size quick release with a regular dish (flat) momo steering wheel and its perfect. Because you adjust the steering column on the skyline. I always wanted a deep dish but i think that would only be possible if you ran the slim QR.


I can't speak on the HiCAS Hub situation. Mine already had a HUb and qr when i got it. I have hicas, but i deleted it

I got rid of hicas on my R33 and use a deeeep sparco safari wheel with the nrg short hub. It looks killer, but I still am contemplating about a QR. I bought an nrg mini QR and its a ******* death trap man, don't ever buy one. It's go so much play it's scary.

I have a NRG quick release and i know a lot of people that have them. No complaints. Maybe you just got a faulty one? Or it could be the mini ones

I've got a buddy with the slim QR and he hates the thing too!

Stock steering wheel is nice, but would prefer a dished one, my only reason for doing this right now as opposed to when I delete HICAS is security.

i dont think my qr is a slime one and i just have my steering column pushed all the way in and its perfect with my recaro seats

[Stuntmonkey]

I know its trivial, but have you got any pics/

[Nismo_line]

kinda hard to see what exact qr i have

stock is perfect IMO, bc the hand distance between the wheel and the signal lever is bang-on.

Adding more dish would make that flick action impossible.
