Hi Guys, currently trying to get my r33 gts-t on road and the top button for the automatic shift knob is broken (so won't pass RWC). As we all know that the stock r33 auto gear knob is the ugliest thing ever :D , I want to change it to something small and better looking. The 300zx z32 auto gear knob is still too big. I have seen a pen type with a button on top and also one with a auto gear boot (makes it look like a manual). Not fussed about the o/d, can put a switch somewhere.

If anyone has modified their, could they please post some pictures, how they installed and where they purchased the items from.

Tried looking in forums, but found nothing useful as all replies suggested to change to manual, which I don't want to do. If I want to shift gears, I'll drive my GT-R.

Any suggestions welcome. :rant:

I had an auto R33 a few years ago I modified a S2 stagea knob to fit and retained the o/d switch. I then fitted a manual boot and surround, it came up very nice.

I ended up pulling it out though as i fitted a full manualised auto and sequential B&M shifter in the car.

Thanks for sharing :) . We got the same h/unit, lol. You wouldn't happen to still have your stagea shift knob with you? As mine has a broken button and getting difficult to shift.

Also, how much does the B&M set you back? Is it easy to install?

Thanks :)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
