The engrish instructions are crappy, but there are a few things I found that you need to do to get it to work with the R34. What you need to do is..

1. remove the original gear knob (2 philips screws)

2. take off the white tube that allows you to push down/select gear.

3. replace with the black spacer supplied, but before you do that you need to make a slight adjustment to the spacer's outer diameter via a dremel or in my case light sanding.

4. line up the top of the spring to the top of the spacer, and reassemble.

As promised.

If it's the same push down mechanism it'll work. But remember I had to file down my spacer a little to get it to work with the 34.

Shipping was USPS i believe.. that's the regular afaik and it took about a week. But if you're buying through carbeyond.. forget about tracking because they don't reply to emails, those slack asses .. :P

Just received an Email from Carmate USA and they confirmed that this Gear knob will fit perfectly fit the R34 Auto.

Quoted me: "RA118 is US$79.00 and shipping will be US$35, totaling US$114.00."

and thats from Carmate USA Directly.

Howie, U Ordered urs thru carbeyond issit?

I'll try to search mabe i can get it cheaper somewhere else :P

Yep from carbeyond buddy.. but i only paid something like 11 bucks shipping through them.

Btw, felt heaps good going up and down through the gears today.. i usually use the steering wheel buttons but loving the weight and the 'springiness' of this item so i'm using the stick more.

Hey Howie, sorry to dig up an old thread, but i bought the car without the black part and only the white plastic bit. can i get a photo of what the black part should look like? also did you buy direct from carbeyond or from an authorised dealer. If so, which one got u 11$ postage?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
