Humpy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Loving the gear knobs and will definately purchase when I have got my Zed next week. Might sound a silly question but how easy are they to change over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not bad at all, take the gear gaiter off, get yourself a couple of molegrips. one on the base of the gear stick and one on the gear knob making sure you got suitable protection between the grips and the material and twist. Just make sure not to put pressure on the base as it will turn in the gear box and can cause damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Cheers Coldel, answers that one :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kta Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yes so long as you're careful you should be able to get the gearknob off ok, and then fitting the new one is easy as it just screws back on. Though considering I test everyone i make on my car to check fit then i'm pretty sure my gearshaft is going to snap one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank1978 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi Dont be to harsh, all I wanted was to buy a gear knob, but since then ive posted quite a few things, even one about the stock Bose Sub, Im just at work thats all and it was difficult to get away with posting on forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thats fine, just take your time and chill, no need to rush. We have the 5 post rule to deter people who only want to use our contacts to get a good deal (as we can often get parts much cheaper than you can at Nissan dealerships), then sod off never to be heard of again. As you can imagine in a free online community thats not very productive. I can see you're making an effort to contribute though so its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDeuce1973 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I purchased a genuine Nismo gear knob from a trader on here just over 4 weeks ago. Despite it being a perfect fit and much better than the OEM knob I just found the whole thing a little to small and uncomfortable in the hand. I had read a few things about the Nismo Titanium version and liked the fact it was a little chunkier and heavier with a more rounded top. Not wanting to spend the £150 ish that was being asked from most of the sites I looked at, I decided to contact William (kta) I explained what I was after, the thickness, rounded top, laser engraved 350z and he agreed to give it a go for me. The new gearknob arrived on Friday and I fitted it straight away. It is exactly what I was looking for. Wider and rounder than the standard Nismo with more weight to it aswell. Looks pretty cool in the brushed aluminimum and matches the interior well. I would like to thank William for making this one off design for me (wait, hold on, he is now selling them!! lol) He has been brilliant from start to finish, keeping me informed of progress and working to my needs. Here are a couple of pictures of it fitted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
