29th November 2014:
Weather was not great here but at least its not raining, hence I could go out there before sun runs out to get the forum sticker on!!
Really like as it goes really really well with my zed, and will get another one for the driver side soon
Then I move on the the gear knob. Purchase a OEM Nissan gear knob from Ewen at Clark Motorsport and today is definitely time to install it on to my zed
Here's some of the tools I've picked for this job
Those orange/red piece of rubber are from a scrap boost pipe. I highly recommend getting a set of those blue plastic trim remover (cost about a fiver on Ebay). They are really good, useful and most importantly doesn't scratch your panels.
Here's a step by step guide (credits to rothers2901) --> http://www.350z-uk.c...r-knob-removal/
Picture of old knob vs new. I think the gear know is the original that came straight from factory hence 10 years old.
I must say, it is PITA to get it removed. At one point, I almost give up but the condition of the old gear knob is not looking well after 10minutes of battle
Finally, it decided to come loose but look at those battle marks
Once the new one is on, you can see its relatively shorter and the leather surround needs to be lifted to fill up the gaps, so a little bit of tie wrap engineering at the bottom and lifted that up permanently
Just a simple mod this weekend. Now I can't wait to get my hands on those rear LED lamps from Clark Motorsport (group buy specials - no fighting or pushing required as its not a Black Friday specials)
