Picked this up last night.

It's a little titanium knob which is countersunk pretty deep, so it should shorten the throw a tiny bit. It's also a good size. Same size as those plastic nismo ones that look like they're curtain rod ends. So it's not like those ugly, large, and bulbous Momo pieces of crap.

It also feels like it's got a bit of weight to it.

I haven't installed it yet though, as my car is still at the panel shop. Once I get it back, I'll install and post more pics.

Yeah I was considering the ARC one but need to know how much the APX one costs.

Also when they say "M8X1.25" does that mean the knob will fit a shaft 8mm in diameter with the thread being 1.25?

It's weighty so I reckon it might be "Titanium-look". But hey, can't go wrong at the price I got it for. :D

Also, I reckon a few people would've looked at it and said, "ooh nice ARC knob"... But now that I've posted this thread I've ruined it haven't I. lol

Genuine question: Whats the deal with titanium gearknobs?

The whole point of titanium is so that it weighs less right?

But with gearknobs you want a bit of weight in it so that your shifts feel more solid, so is the titanium only for the look (and strength)?

I have a DC2 type-r titanium gearknob in my Civic and it is definitely at least as heavy as the stock one. It does give a nice feel though :whistling:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
