Beavis Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Having purchased a second hand Nismo titanium shift knob from a forum member it soon became clear I was not happy with the rubber finisher that is supplied, for some reason it had started to degrade rapidly! So an alternative was machined at work at out black nylon on the left........much better! If you ask me nicely and you need one I will get one machined for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Although I haven't got a Nismo knob, I think this my suit my new one quite nicely. Have you got any pics of it fitted Cornholio, I mean Beavis? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ooooh, nice. I'll check my knob later to see if there's room for a finisher. Thanks Beavis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceejay29 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have the Nismo carbon shifter, it is lovely, but extremely small! I bought it second hand at a very good price and in excellent condition, it also came with the rubber finisher you mention above....although with it fitted I cannot thread the knob down far enough and it spins when you grip it. It seems like the rubber finisher is too large, or I have a short shifter? Has anybody else experienced something similar? The interim remedy I have fitted instead is a rubber grommet/washer thing left lying around the workshop, which allows me to screw it on further. I may also use lock tight if the problem persists but would rather fit the proper parts. I will take a photograph at the next opportunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a good look at my knob after looking at your rubber (oh c'mon) and it's a very similar design to the Nismo one, but I don't think I'll need the finisher - it kinda looks OK without it. Thanks again tho bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobears Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I am sure that when I first joined the forum I got into trouble rather quickly for asking to see everyone's knobs. Still don't know why that was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuarty Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Glad your knobs looking a lot better, nothing worse than a scabby knob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog1982 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Massive thanks to Dave! I bought a Nismo Knob off the board but it was missing the finisher (later found out only the specific part numbers for the 350 include this) I PMed Dave (Beavis) and he offered to send me one out free of charge! This has well and truly saved me as I couldn't find one at all! I had to ever so slightly open this one up with a drill but once I had done that it fitted perfect! Top man! Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEZZA Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Bit of a thread revival, recently bought a nismo knob and It came without the finisher, after a bit of searching came across this thread. Got in touch with Dave who just happens to live in the same town. He had a look to see if he had one, he didn't so machined one for me at work. I popped over today to collect and also so he could have a listen to my Hfc's as he has some sat in his boot ready to go on to his immaculate yellow GT4 which was sat on the drive way looking as new ! Thanks Dave, nice meeting you today. Edited February 1, 2015 by SHEZZA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
