Hi MrMilk,

If you wish to keep the airbag function I am afraid it's almost impossible (and also extremely dangerous) to fit an airbag steering wheel designed for another model.

To fit an another steering wheel you will need to forget about the airbag feature. The HKB brand of "boss kit" intended for N14 & N15 Pulsars has been confirmed to fit the micra perfectly... see ;

In the past a few people have tried steering wheels from other nissans without much success ;

I would suggest your best bet would be to visit your local auto trimmer. They would be able to re-trim the rim of your existing wheel in leather (or something) to improve the feel of it.
