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.

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?

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
