How to Upgrade Your 300ZX Steering Wheel and Keep Cruise Control
Hey Z32 fans! If you own a Nissan 300ZX, you know how fun (or sometimes painful) it is to tweak and upgrade your Z. But what happens when you want to fit that gorgeous new aftermarket steering wheel and keep your trusty cruise control?
Until now, upgrading your wheel to one from the likes of Nardi, MOMO, Sparco, OMP and rest meant losing one of the creature comforts that were such a rarity back in 1989 when the Z32 was first released.
Why Upgrade Your 300ZX Steering Wheel?
First things first - why bother swapping out your stock wheel?
For starters, the factory wheel is big, dated, and (let’s be honest) probably looking a little tired after three decades on the road. A fresh, smaller aftermarket wheel gives you better grip, more cabin space, and a sportier feel that makes your Z32 feel like a proper ‘90s street machine.
But here’s the kicker: on non-airbag Nissan 300ZX Z32s, the cruise control buttons live inside the steering wheel hub. So, when you yank out the stock wheel, your cruise control goes bye-bye - unless you get creative.
The Fix: Relocate Your Cruise Control Like a Pro
Imagine this: you’re cruising down the highway gripping the steering wheel of your dreams, boost whirring, T-tops off, wind in your hair. You reach up to your overhead panel and boom! Your cruise control buttons are right there, like you’re piloting a jet.
That’s exactly what our 300ZX Cruise Control Relocation Kit does. It relocates the factory cruise control module to a neat spot by your dome lights. You keep the functionality, ditch the clunky old wheel, and gain an extra dose of ‘90s-cool pilot vibes every time you hit the buttons.
Owning a 300ZX is all about the details. Little mods like a steering wheel swap - done right - make driving your Z32 even more fun. Keep your cruise control, enjoy your road trips, and don’t be afraid to keep improving.
