I have kind of a strange question here. On my '02 SE, the leather steering wheel look great everywhere EXCEPT the top part of it. The top piece looks like it's worn out, doesn't have a smooth finish to it like the rest of the wheel, and it's obviously not as shiny/glossy as the rest of the wheel is. I used some hand cream just to see what would happen, and it makes it look great again, almost brand new like, but that doesn't last more than a few hours since the cream gets into the leather, and onto my hands.
Is there something I can use that would stay on there longer? I was thinking something like black shoe polish of some sort... :S I know I could get it looking perfect with that, but I don't know if it would stick to my hands every time I grabbed the wheel. Any input on this would be great, and if not, then I'll maybe start a new thread, and hope someone notices it.
Thanks guys!
Here you go...it may seem like a cheap a*s overlay, but it is actually quite nice. I just installed one on my steering wheel and was impressed with the results.

I have a quick stupid question. What color are the stock 2k2 SE calipers?? I never really noticed the color until today. I got new rims installed and the calipers are black and look freshly painted.
**update**
Yeah the guys at les schwab painted them black for me. I have no idea why, guess I'll have to give them a call and thank them as I was going to paint them black anyway.

I have been looking at racing seats lately, and was wondering if there are any seats that match/closely resemble the stock gray interior. All I have looked at is Corbeau and they really don't have what I'm looking for. I want something with good bolstering, sort of like an Evo style seat. I like Recaro's but i'm not up for spending 2k on seats alone. If someone has done this swap, I'd like to know which brand it was and how much $$$ they had to shell out for seats and brackets combined.

Might want to look into getting some 350z seats. There is an old thread on it around here somewhere. Search around.
I smell coolant and found it all over my engine. Ive notice that its leaking from the top and bottom.
Thanks to the search I seen Soonerfan recommend Radiatorbarn.com . Now im stuck trying to figure out which one to get (it gives me 2 options) . Can anyone help thanks in advance.
Damn the Link doesn't direct you straight to the find.

I recently went to autozone to check out why my SES light was one. The scanner print out said that bank 1 was running both rich and lean. ( i recently changed my mass airflow meter, spark plugs, oil, tranny fluid flush, belts, and a faulty coil pack). I was wondering if I needed to change my O2 sensors in band one? If so,, exactly which ones go to bank one?

hmm im not sure. the fans i know are fine because my friend and i had to blast the heat on level 4 to get some heat out of the engine bay. the ac was also fine when we were on the highway. it only became a problem when we hit the suburban and city driving.

I meant the actual cooling fans, not the fans that blow air into the cabin, but the fans located near the radiator under the hood.

Could mean a number of things ranging from t-stat, dead fan(s), etc.
Start with the easy things....
1. make sure both fans work.
2. flush coolant system and replace coolant/water
3. replace thermostat (may want to do this when flushing system, part not expensive)
4. replace radiator
my 00 was overheating....replaced the t-stat and it did nothing...replaced radiator and it fixed the problem...my 02 was overheating...did the radiator first and it fixed the problem....
UOA time.
was wrong with the rad that caused that problem? My 95 has yet to give me any cooling problems, nor my 03.
