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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
