lucien, that's a damn nice pic :)

I will let you know as soon as I've heard from Japan Parts .. I emailed them about 4 or 5 days ago and no response.  Might have to ask a mate who has rellies in Japan to see if he can sort something out for me :)

Dave's also trying to get a price:

/me expects an email soonish lol...

i have a Impul unit... its a long cylindrical one like mentioned before... feels pretty good to shift, but its pure metal so it sucks in summer and winter.

It also comes with a gear stick extender... that bends the gearknob towads your leg and keeps the knob on an angle, for a racy feel i guess...

Call me ghey but I really don't dig my nismo carbon finish metal knob.

I've been thinking about a snooker eight ball? What about it?

Your ghey :) The carbon nismo doesn't do it for me, but nor do the space invaders stylee ones. Cmon Tony, come to the dark side of the GT Titanium shifter :)

LW.

sigh, why can't you all just use a stock knob like the rest of us... ok maybe not me (*hides aluminium impul shift knob*) it dosen't make your car go faster :)

And I agree... $215 is stupid amounts of money to spend on a knob that autobarn replicates perfectly lol

usually with my metal nismo one, i find that slipping a sunglasses slip over the top stops it from getting hot during summer :)

I like to use a stubbie cooler (wetsuit material) turned upside down over it, comes in handy when there is an emergency too :)

I have an aluminium one, it cylindrical about 3-4 inchs long and about 1.5inches round. has HKS printed on the side of it. I am talking about my shift knob :)

$215 is wayyy over the top for a mere knob.

Maybe for a "knobbing"...

yeah u are better off spending it on ur own knob lol

Hahaha! only way to go #6 ball won't do....has to be an 8Ball. $10 and a bit of work. Has a really nice weight to it aswell, I've had one in for ages

I use a VB can cooler to cover my knob in hot weather (doesn't get much use now).

About your HKS knob... does it say "Hello Kiddies, want to Suqq my throbbing knob" when you get excited?

I have just bought the gear knob for the R. its the Nardi Torino black leather one. it was $108 from HJC motorsports in penrith. It was cheaper then the Nismo one that I was gonna get and like this one better.

had a nismo aluminium one before and it is too hard after a while, hurts you hand on long drives. thats me anywayz ;)

A knob is a very important thing

I recall in the drift bible...the jap geek saying...its important you have a good setup.

Good suspension .. ... ... ... and last thing was a good gear KNOB!

But yeah the nismo carbon fibre knob isnt very good ;) waste of money

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
