ok i jus got a nismo chrome gearknob installed it but doesnt go all the way down to the gearboot!

i was wondering if its suppose to go all the way down?

anyone got pics?

I have a 34 and mine doesnt go all the way down either, but i guess it can be rectified putting a spacer in between the gearboot and the knob

Yeah my boot sat down too low. What i did to fix it, was to remove the boot and you'll notice the gear stick shaft is tapered (starts off thin and gets thicker). I made some of the thin bit thicker using electrical tape. That way the rubber grommet in the boot wont go down as far, and no more gap. Easy 60second fix!

hey man! i'm good how are you?

still havent installed the bov yet haha too lazy

yer starting to not mind the gap i guess i was a bit too excited waiting for it and expected to go down all the way and was disappointed when i received it

Yeah i have one which also sits too high and i was abit regretful at one stage but now i reckon it looks better that way lol

Guys it can be fixed - if ya read my post not difficult at all!

yea actually I have the carbon fiber version and I have to wear my momo racing gloves cecuz its hottttt.well I like to wear em anyways more comfotable

I would recommend you to put a bit of grease on the thread before you start.

The 1st nismo knob that I had, I did it too tight (trying to get it all the way down) and when it comes time to undo it, I unseated the plastic bit in the middle and I couldn't get it off, since the plastic bit would just sping around inside the knob like a screw with stripped thread. End up destroying it and had to get a new one. Other than that, they are really nice looking, although I'd prefer them to be slightly taller.

Yup... Did the trav fix a few days after this thread was started and it worked a treat! Sits 100% flush now.

although my nismo gear knob is losing its pos cheap coating and is going white... So time to look for a new one i spose

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
