Hey all,

Well its summer weather already. Went to drive my car and damn near burned my hand on the gear knob. I currently have a Trust gearknob in the car, all metal construction. It gets so hot I cannot touch the gear knob.

Anybody able to recommend a good piece to put on the thing? I don't want the stock one as I have one already and the heat caused the glue to soften up and you get black shit all over your hands when you handle it.

The other I've used, is the MOMO Anatomico; really nice shape in your hand, and a subtle factory style look.
I used the short version without the bottom collar, and modified the boot to fit right up against the leather.

Do titanium and aluminium knobs heat up as much as stainless knobs? I read somewhere that they don't but the nature of metal is it either retains heat in hot areas or retains cold. Its a super conductor.

The Tomei gear knob looks great but the thing I love about this Trust gear knob is the weight behind it.

I saw a few nice looking knobs out there but the things are universal fitments, press down and use grub screws. This just seems shit.

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
