Hey all as the title suggests I'm looking to replace my stock 1980 280zx steering wheel with something smaller and more sporty. The current wheel has so much play its similar to a school bus, not to mention the wheel is almost as big as one. Do the 1980 280ZX's have an airbag? My color scheme is the original silver on blue with silver and blue interior so Id prefer to stay away from wood grain and black if at all possible. Can someone throw out some reputable websites (notzcarsource.com) and any experiences in changing wheels? would be greatly appreciated. Also looking for a short shifter for it. Again, 1980 280zx NA.

Thanks and regards,
Tom Hartmann

Unless your steering wheel is literally "loose" on the steering column (like someone didn't tighten it down), a loose feeling steering wheel is from the front suspension being worn out.

And no, 280zx's do not have air bags... nor ABS. Those SRS options didn't really hit the market until the mid 90's.
