haha, yeah confirmed, it's separate, you can change the knob out without needing to mess with the lifter

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?

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.

:cheers:

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

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.

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

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 :P

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
