Thanks for answering my Q. Now for the next Q...

The collar slides up and down the gear stick - patently obvious > up to the base of the knob (to engage "R") and down the stick again - nah I'm not stupid.

Now, the wires that run up to the knob (for illumination) will be exposed above the collar will they not? I mean, the wires would be a bit of a pain?

Hmm not 100% sure on that one. I'll email the guys one more time just in case the last email didn't go through properly.

If not perhaps I will just buy a M12 one and try and make it fit some how, if not I can just fit it to the Mazda 3 since that runs a M12.

the skyline shifter looks like it comes up a lot higher than these ones.

are you looking to fit this same type? with the raised outer eadge on the boot. coz i think that's what makes it look so good. but can it work?

[PM-R33]

THEY CAN DO THEM IN 10MM!!!

Just got an email from them last night!

So looks like this will go ahead. Will post up more details as soon as I get them.

I get what you mean. Will have to sort something out with the boot. I like that sunken look aswell.

I'm just awaiting a price on 5 gear knobs delivered and will set up the group buy after if the price is ok

[xALmoN]

sounds interesting.

[PM-R33]

Righteo so I got word back regarding pricing.

For 5 of them custom made in 10mm delivered to every one would be $110 delivered each.

What you think? Is there a few people keen for that price? If so I will chuck up the group buy.

[Astro Bear]

Don't mention the war.

[PM-R33]

Bahahaha.

[leer34]

[5hiv]

Please put one for me as well. Let me know when you buying

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

i'm interested.. but how will it fit againt the skyline gear stick? this picture looks like the gear stick is lower down? will the boot marry up to the skyline?

[Munkyb0y]

dont they have to do more than just make it 10mm to fit the skyline?

ie. shape of the base surround, height of the stick, etc?

[Charles89]

Phil, not sure if you have mentioned this or not, but do they only make it in leather?

I want aluminium xD

Does your car ever sit in the sun? I got a GReddy gear knob.. Not pretty.. Needs a sock or cloth to cover it

[Charles89]

Oh it sits in the sun alright lol. I've got a black Nismo aluminium gear knob.

Yes it gets hot in the summer, but my hand is used to it, it doesn't affect me anymore lol.

I mean... It's only really hot for less than 1 minute, once you start driving, it cools down a lot really quickly.

But then again, your in QLD, not sure how hot your knob gets up there
