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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
