I picked up my new skyline yesturday however there is a slight problem with it. I found out if you shift to hard the gear selector pops out. I quickly took it appart to find the source of the problem.

I don't know the exact part so i'll try to explain it (excuse crappy description)

On the end of the gear stick is a steel ball which sits in a plastic sleave which then goes into the gearbox. Its this plastic sleave which is cracked allowing the selector to seperate from the gearbox. I can draw a picture if required :(

As im completely newb to this i have no idea where i can source this part.

Also of note the car has a short shifter on it but i think this will be a factory part?

Thanks in advance

As has been suggested, can be bought from any Nissan dealer. I just got one for a GTR....cost $5

If you want to post the car model and year I can look up the PN in FAST - saves a lot of time when you go to a dealer.

Nissan dealers always need the model and chassis code and can be a bit tedious. You will have to pay up front for not in stock parts. I ordered the cam belt guide plates and woodruff keys for mine today but they had them in Melb.

I've known the spare parts manager at FTG Nissan for the best part of 15 years...he actually appreciates the time saving. I'm to the stage that I can order parts over the phone.....but then I've bought a LOT of parts over those years.

Isnt it the circlip that holds the selecter in the gearbox? I cant completely remember but that is what my fuzzy memory is telling me, the plastic boot just makes it feel alot less sloppy.

There's a rubber boot that's there to keep water/dirt out if that's what you mean.

Tragic: check your PM.

Nah i know the boot your talking about, isnt tragic talking about the white plastic cap that fits over the bulge at the very bottom of the selector?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
