If car manufacturers have stopped putting their dreams into new cars, then we just have to shape the "ideal" of our beloved cars with our own hands. This is the idea behind the R32-specific steering wheel from GENUINE TREND REPRODUCTION (GTR). This is not just a copy. While paying homage to the original, it goes into territory that the original could not, truly "redefining genuine parts."

The Truth of Operability, Achieved by a 10mm Reduction in Diameter

The R32's genuine steering wheel has an outer diameter of 370mm. While standard by the standards of the time, it's true that for enjoying sporty driving with high-grip tires and a modern sensibility, it feels a bit large and the response to steering input feels dull. Yet, I don't want to replace it with an aftermarket part that would destroy the original's beautiful interior design.

In the past, a 355mm steering wheel was sold as a project in GT-R Magazine and became a big topic of conversation. However, it's also true that owners who actually installed it reported, "It's sporty and wonderful, but a bit too small for city driving," and "Can't it be a size a little closer to genuine?"

Therefore, without compromising the design balance at all, we arrived at the golden ratio of **"360mm,"** which is just 10mm smaller than the genuine one. Not too big, not too small. This slight difference suppresses fatigue during long drives, creates quick operability in corners, and transforms the R32's cabin into a more refined space.

Consideration for "All Directions" Beyond the Wall of Model Years

Furthermore, R32 owners have long been troubled by the "early, mid, and late" model year specifications. There were troublesome hurdles to compatibility between model years with genuine parts, such as the meshing position of the HICAS sensor and the wiring of the horn button.

We conducted thorough verification and adopted the "mid and late model" face and horn button, which have the most refined design, as the base. On top of that, by giving the boss cover on the back and the internal structure unique adjustment functions, we achieved a design that can be bolt-on compatible with all model years. This steering wheel completely eliminates even the stress of searching for used parts, wondering, "Can it be directly installed on my model year?"

A Quality Comparable to European Luxury Cars, Transmitted from Your Fingertips

And we thoroughly focused on the texture of the "leather" that you touch every day. We adopted the highest-grade Nappa leather made in Germany, which is used in ultra-luxury cars worldwide. The fine, supple surface, tanned with chrome, instantly tells you the difference in its "class" the moment you grip it.

We poured this "luxury for the five senses," which the manufacturer at the time could not achieve, or probably gave up on due to cost constraints, into this reproduced product without hesitation.

Conclusion: "Enthusiastic Commitment" Beyond the Manufacturer

If the original manufacturer gives up on supplying parts and abandons the past, then we will take up that baton and polish it to a higher quality with modern technology.

When you grip this steering wheel and turn the first corner, you will surely feel it. "Ah, the GT-R has left the manufacturer's hands and become so free."

This is a product where passion beyond reason has taken shape. Please experience it with your R32.
