but im stuck on the hub part...
saw this video as well but its installing on a 240 but id imagine its quite similar to installing it on a third gen right?

grant SFI quick release GM hub and competition steering wheel

itsMikey

got any more info on the install?? looks really good!

xpndbl3

iTrader: (5)

remove stock steering wheel, install grant piece, install grant steering wheel

itsMikey

ah,,,,

which GM hub is it??

Project-RS

iTrader: (1)

i have the same grant kit. very easy to install.

xpndbl3

iTrader: (5)

i'm not using that grant theft kit, mine is the SFI hub for racing purposes.


which GM hub...? there is only one for 5 bolt hole steering wheels from grant, kinda hard to screw it up

itsMikey

so would that 5 bolt hole GM hub be usable with the 5 bolt NRG quick release?

xpndbl3

iTrader: (5)

no the NRG will not bolt to your stock steering column, you need the GM grant quick release hub, that NRG looks like a ***** site.

grant wheels bolt to grant hubs, you need to buy a 5 bolt stering wheel to screw into the 5 bolt hub.

itsMikey

indeed it will..just got the email back from NRG..

Mikey,

I'm still interested in seeing some pictures. Were your NRG pieces a direct bolt on?

iTrader: (35)

Im running the samething as project-rs

Tibo

iTrader: (15)

What year was that installed on? Any modification of the column or the kit necessary?

6SIX6

iTrader: (35)

its on a stock 82 to 89 tilt column and there was no modding at all that I did. actually i had to make the horn button work is all took 2 min and 10min to get the quick release on

Tibo

iTrader: (15)

Sounds promising. My worry is that it is different after 89 as there might have been a change made when the airbag came around as this thread suggests: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...eel-grant.html

6SIX6

iTrader: (35)

Columns are the same it just has a wire for the airbag. If your not running the bag and dont care cut the wire off or tuck it into the column somewhere. Everything else is the same. oh and pull the airbag light or it will be on all the time

itsMikey

that ^ and inless you want to do some extra thinking, you wont have a horn

ill get pics tomorrow since ill have time

mwfrels

'Got any postable pics yet? I just stumbled onto this thread. Loving the looks and idea of the NRG wheels and quick release.

Can someone explain what the quick release does?

92 BBC Z

Enables the steering wheel to be removed quickly.

92 BBC Z

Does NRG make any that are SFI?

Tibo

iTrader: (15)

like the other member mentioned, it just pops off quick and easy. It is great for/if you do much dash and wiring work. Its also a great theft deterent. I do some car shows and auto cross events as well as driving the car leisurely around town, just gives me piece of mind.

92 BBC Z

My bad. I thought he meant 'function' when I read " what it does". It provides a way to remove the wheel quickly for ease of entry/exit when a roll cage or fixed seat is used.

itsMikey

its just easier to get out of the car with the roll bar and it looks cool..also a theft deterrent..

sorry guys..its been raining -___- sunny cali right?

itsMikey

finally..installed pics

Tibo

iTrader: (15)

Holy Moly! Sure glad I saw that side view pic before purchasing one. It really appears to move the steering wheel forward. Can you still use the turn signal lever with your hand on the wheel still? The Grant setup doesn't appear to move the wheel out nearly as much.

itsMikey

nope..gotta take my hand off..it does move the wheel closer..the hub pushes it closer to the driver but for me it didnt really change much..only like 2 maybe 3 inches

Dakota W.

Even without the roll cage is it still a bit easier to squeeze into the car? I'm 6'1" and got some pretty long legs and my knees barely fit under the steering wheel to get in lol.

itsMikey

makes getting in and out easier in any car so yes..haha

87350IROC

2-3" is huge. That totally changes the way the car fits you.

NRG offers a slim disconnect and you can combine that with a flat steering wheel instead of the high offset wheel that itsMikey has chosen and the difference would be minimal.

Dakota W.

Just looked at the price for the grants...200 bucks AND a new steering wheel, my wallet is on a diet right now unfortunately...

Kidfromthe951

Dang looks like I'm adding this to my to do list, looks good will be going with this wheel http://www.amazon.com/NRG-Steering-W.../dp/B005KFOTN4 with a white bowtie button.

itsMikey

mine is the slim but yeah i got a deeper wheel..the wheel alone has a 2" outward push..so it probably only moves it maybe an inch or so with a flat..

its probably less than im estimating but it didnt really change the way the car feels in the way youre implying but it did give me the feel that i have more control over the car as this wheel is a tad smaller..

LivinLarge

Did u get the hub from the link in your first post? And do you have to use an NRG wheel with this?

itsMikey

you can get it a lot of placed but yes

and no, you can get any 6 bolt wheel (momo, sparco etc) NRG's stuff is cheap and good quality tho so why not? Nardi was my first choice but $200 for a wheel? nah

does anybody still use this page?

Bringing this thread back from the dead. yeah I know. I know but those links don't work anymore. Do you have part numbers on which quick release hub works ect.
