Checking some steering wheel replacement options in japanese auctions and trying to get an overview of the different factory steering wheels that existed for the 80 series and identify my own variant.
In the EPC with my VIN i get the following variants:
Looking through some other 80 series spec like US/GCC/GEN I notice there were also urethane 4 spoke steering wheels:
Basically I'm unsure if my steering wheel is the leather or urethane variant since my 80 is kinda poverty spec cloth interior but also the higher grade VX model. It feels like a urethane wheel but that might just be age and wear of the leather. The stitching and overlaps point towards the leather variant. Thoughts? Any pictures for comparison would be appreciated.
