you are pretty new to cars arent you....Nardi is a brand of steering wheel...similar to sparco, or kardis. do a yahoo search for nardi steering wheel and you will see their site.

custom steering wheels don't have airbags....at least not the ones i've looked at. why do you need an airbag anyway

airbags cost 1k to replace everytime they blow, and it would be really expensive to put one in, and probably wouldnt work anyway

when I wanted to buy my 240 I was looking into aftermarket products. So I was searching for steering whels and I found a real nice aftermarket MOMO competition wheel. and then i found out that the 240sx didnt have airbags so i figured that im going to race the 240 so Better be safe and just find a steering wheel with an airbag. (the NARDI wheel, which actually looks prety decent) I mean... sure I dont plan on crashing my car, but who does.

If you're really going to race then you get a roll cage, harnesses and a good seat and you'll never be close to the steering wheel. To put an airbag system in the car is a waste of time amd money. It's not just the steering wheel with airbag that you need, it's the sensors and computer and everything else that tells the airbag when to explode. And what Nardi wheel has an airbag in it?

if you're that stuck on an airbag, then sell your car, and buy something that has one. Otherwise it's not going to happen. Installing an airbag system is not something easy to do, and if you miscalculate the placement of the sensors, or screw something up with the wiring, it may go off unexpectedly, or be counterproductive if it goes off in a crash where it wasn't needed. Race seats / harnesses are more more protective in a crash anyway.

im not stuck on an airbag i just figure that it would be good assurance while driving it. knowing that i have a working airbag. but i plan on getting sparco fighter seats and harnesses so thats good to.

sparco is exspensive, but good choice

yea spaco is expensive but once you get them you know that you have real quality seats that wil last you many years if you take care of them

If you're going to spend that much on a seat then why don't you get one that's at least FIA ****logated?

And all this talk about safety and you want to run a race seat and harnesses without a full cage.

Are you serious kid? Grow the f*ck up. You obviously plan on driving wreckless on the street if your this concerned about crashing. Take the fast and furious crap elsewhere and get your head out of your ass.

Grow up, then race. People like you, being stupid and tooling around on the street, raises my goddamn insurance. Save money, get seats, harnesses, and at least a partial cage (a full cage won't help you much when you're NOT wearing a helmet, in fact if you hit it you'll be more injured).

If you're that worried about money, you shouldn't 1, mod your car, or 2, race your car. That's that.

I agree with the people above but im not giving you many options. If you have a 240 either 1 sell it or 2 sell it. If you dont have a car yet, then good.

I admit that it was a stupid comment. I just meant to say that I am not making it a drag car or a english town circuit kind of car. I am just gonna be driving around showing it off and I just wanted all of your imput on tst so I guess I earned the negative comments.
