WTB: (R32) Old Gearstick & Handbrake Boots


Recommended Posts

G'day all,

I'm after a old set of gearstick and handbrake boots from a R32. MUST be factory items.

I don't care if they have a few holes in them, or fairly worn, as long as each of them are in one piece and come with the wire frames that are down the bottom of them.

And before anyone asks, I don't want to swap them with a new set that I may make, cause I'm still not sure if I'll be making the R32 ones. But I need to get my hands on a set to check them out.

Cheers

:P

Hey Jay, my car is currently off the road for a few months while the eng and new turbo are being fitted, so i can send you mine to have a look at, if you decide to make them you will just need to do me a good deal, if not you can just send them back. Let me know if your intereted, only prob is the car is at the painters and i will not have it back for about 2 weeks

Thanks Clint.

The only problem would be that I have to take them all apart (un-stitch them totally) to see if I can make them up....

Once unstitched, I wouldn't be able to sew them back up if I decide not to make them :P

I might try and find a set to by outright first, cause I'd hate myself if I pulled your apart only to find I can't make them :)

Thanks anyway.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
