Anyone?

I can't seem to get mine off! There is no allen key, It's just a hollow hole below the gear knob.

well has your car ever had a gearbox overhaul? clutch?

because that hollow hole should be an allen key bolt/screw.

ive noticed most mechanics either lose it or dont bother to put it back on.

otherwise how firmly did you turn it? unless its been sealed with Loctite?

I placed an allen key through that hollow hole and nothing happened. Nothing opened up or anything.

I just got it off, what a mission. Grabbed a jumbo shifter and twisted it, it was sealed with Loctite!

exactly..... just what i thought

well the allen key was missing thats why

loctite is good, cause there is nothing worse than having a knob that is wobbily whilst driving

what are u gonna put on now?

Replaced mine last week but me being the lazy bastard i am i got the mechanic to do it and got him to install my led parkers too. Mine was heaps wobbly but now i have the nismo titanium gt-500. Great gear knob i think it made my car go faster :D ..

Mine is wobbly, might have to loctite the mofo

have you tried tightening the allen key?

sometimes thats all it needs

othertimes the plastic on the knob is worn

nice skirts you got there!!!

Just bought a brand new original gear knob :)

how much did that cost you? 150$?

and did it come with the allen key bolt/screw?

Couldnt you just wrap some teflon tape around it? :D

Cheaper and lets you get it back off again later

teflon tape..... is probably not the best thing

because if the plastic around the female thread of the knob is worn.... your just gonna keep cross threading it...

im a plumber and i deal with teflon all the time.. with plastic fittings/threads , should use liquid instead

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
