Eugene at "JDM Performance" here on SAU has 1 Nismo GT knob left I think > PM him. Not sure if it's 10mm or 12mm

I just purchased one of these. I am very impressed in its quality and just couldn't go past the price.

(Sorry if link wont work. I had to copy paste the link on my phone).

Manual Gear Knob Shifter NISSAN SKYLINE R32 R33 GTR GTS

try nissan. get one from a n15 SSS. nice leather job. not the cheapest though at a few hundred dollars.

when i needed a new gear knob for my 180sx i just went to the wreckers and got one off a standard pulsar. it was just a rubber one but did the job and was comfy and most importantly was a direct fit, not some universal thing with a rubber tube that goes over the thread that usually ends up coming loose.

thanks guys for you valuable input, but i went the ebay option and got a momo short gear knob and the boot for it as well.. does anyone have suggestions to put the gear boot on, i found it difficult to put on, is there a trick too it or does anyone in sydney install these things, putting on the gear knob is a piece of cake but its dramas fitting the gear boot on. i have a nissan skyline r33..

Any help would be grateful....... thanks

The r33 is easy just turn it inside out so you can attach the rubber top part

Then very carefully with a flat head screwdriver pop off the metal fasteners put new boot on all the plastic knobs then put the fasteners back on

Easy

    • Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.       
    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
