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.

Yeah i agree with that. They are quite comfortable! I had it in mine for a year or so before realizing i didnt like the look of it anymore :(

I got the Duracon from Nengun for $55AU delivered to NZ.

And the OEM item was from RHDJapan, $90NZD delivered to NZ

PS: The sticker doesnt stick to anything...

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..

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
