How the hell do you distinguish between genuine and fake Nismo Duracon shift knob? Was about to buy one for $35 total on EBay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT) thought it was wholesale price. Luckily e-mailed the guy 2x beforehand.

yes, 99% real, high quality, Picture in kind.

Sounds like a crock of shit.

The guy can hardly put together a coherent email in English, what's the chances of him selling a genuine product? 99 times out of 100, eBay stuff is fake, unless it carries the price tag of a genuine item.

Also look at his eBay page too, he can hardly construct a sentence in English:

Improve shift-feeling and quick shifting with the use of moment of inertia.

Step clutch pedal quickly until you get used to the shift-feeling.

Support shifting smoothly to reduce burden to transmission.

Reduce any extra force of driving operation.

The gear shift of your vehicle must be rotation type, and its diameter should be

FIT FOR ALL MODEL

What the f**k does all that mean? lol

[EDIT] By the looks of the close-up pictures, it looks fake! Check out the Nismo logo on the first pic! looks horrid!

It looks like a bable-fish translation. But to be fair some of the Japanese English in some of the genuine HKS/Nismo etc stuff i have is pretty bad.

I bought an OEM R32/33 GTR/GTSt gear knob out of japan. The package calls it a "Knob Control"

Look closely under the Nissan logo.

Personally.. the Duracon looks horrid. Hence why i bought the OEM,

Thanks. I reckon they look awesome, especially with the Nismo logo to add some 'genuineness'. Not only that but they look damn comfortable to grip (not mentioning you're gonna use this multiple times everytime your drive). Also how much did you get that one for if you don't mind me asking?

And LOL @ the 'Jap-lish' comments.

God dammit that sticker lol :P

How the hell did you get it for $55 delivered from Nengun??? they sell it at $64 and charge roughly $20 for shipping... says black shift knobs are discontinued on the site, and on RHD Japand it says white shift knobs are discontinued...just my luck.

Surely this resin type knob will shave off 100g of car weight if it doesn't do anythign else...:P

Lucky i guess :P Its still in my "My orders".

And its actually not as light as you'd imagine from memory. No lighter than factory anyway i dont think.

The thing that bothered me the most was that it doesnt screw down far anough, and theres a gap between the gear lever boot..

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
