Yeah mine doesnt fit my r32 gtst either. Apparantly the easiest thing to do is to get a really cheap one that fits from Auotbarn etc and take the nylon/plastic insert out from the middle and fit it to the Nismo gear knob.

But i dont know how ur meant to get the plastic out, its stuck in pretty hard, maybe even glued.

The gearknobs come with 15mm inserts unfortunately :)

There is a screw in the top and you just unscrew and get a 10mm insert. Alot of people glue them in but im not too keen on that idea.

hmm, I don't wanna just go out and buy a random knob and try it multiple times and have all these useless knobs sitting around :)

anyone solved the problem with a 10mm insert yet?, which gear knob did you buy?

Yeah n00se we have pretty similar GTR's....your s has white rims and a boot lip and mine doesn't tho.....and I have the black chrome gear knob too :)

cheers

I went into Autobarn the other day and they sell the inserts by themselves, so you dont have to buy a gearknob.

But since i still cant get the plastic out of the centre of mine i couldnt try any to see if they fit. :-(

Ah no i didnt buy one, i couldnt get the centre out of my gearknob so i couldnt try a new insert.

I went to Autobarn in Brighton Vic, they had heaps of inserts under the counter.

I originally asked for the cheapest knob they had but i got talking with the sales guy and he had an R33 and new what i was talking about.

Hes not on the forums though, how could you have a skylinein Aus and not be on www.skylinesaustralia.com ? Its a great way to waste a fair chunk of your life.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
