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!

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

They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
