Ive done a bit of searching on the forum... and ive come across this....

i just fitted new boots to my handbrake and shifter to my s1 33 it is simple. just undo the screws behind the ashtray and in the centre part once you have it taken off slide it over your handbrake and flip upside down. there are clips holding it inplace just squeeze the sides and the wire will come off them then you have to bend the frame of your new one which is easy follow the old shape and slide back in

I was hoping to get a more detailed explanation on how to change it?

I heard you have to re sew the new leather boot on a wire frame? cant say ive ever sewed in my life lol!!

Any help is appreciated!

Undo your center console , that is the handbrake boot and the center glove box..2 screws 1 on each side beside your seat belt buckle.

take the center console off , turn it around squeeze the leather boot out of the plastic clips.

its really easy there is no need to undo the screw behind the astray.

when i did mine.. R34.. i undid the screw behind the ashtray.. removed the gear surround (had to do this anyways for gear surround).. and then reached in from there and removed the wire from the clips..

then i pulled it up and over the handbrake.. the new one i got already had a 'wire' in the boot.. i simply slid the new one over and clipped it back in

where are you getting it from? i need a handbrake boot =/

is it original or what?

Send pablo101 a PM on here. He does group buys for leather 32 and 33 skylines plus some other models. He may get some made for 34's. They are a straight swap no stitching required. The wire is already in place.

getting it off a guy on the forums

pablo101 like the person said above.

genuine nissan ones... 50 for the pair.

I suggest give him a pm... he may some some left over from last group buy.

i plan to do a DIY with pics for this so its easy for people next time :D

Seeing you got it from Pablo101, there will be no sewing required. It already has the wire in it. Just undo the screws for the centre console, pull the old boot out and push the new one in. It doesn't take long at all.

hey guys

i just swapped it out.

Very easy.

just take out the 2 nuts inside the centre console

put ur hand under it and give the hand brake boot a bit of a push and squeeze and it will come off. Dont forget to unbutton it.

slide the new one in place (over the top of the hand brake) and just mould the wire frame into the plastic clips... button it up and done! all fixed... :P

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
