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

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

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
