Leather R32 & Cefiro Gear & Hand Brake Boots Group Buy


Recommended Posts

Currently have a few extra sets from the previous group buy, PM me if you want one (no waiting time! pay and receive them next day)

I am running a R32 Gear & Hand Brake Boots group buy. (They also fit Cefiro's perfectly)

I have sourced a manufacturer in England that makes genuine leather Gear & Hand Brake Boots for R32 Skylines.

Nissan sells them for $150. He sells one gear and hand brake boot for $95 with postage to Australia.

But if we make a minimum of 10 orders, for $55 you will get a gear stick boot, a hand brake boot and express postage to your door.

If you are interested please PM me or post here to be included in this group buy.

Here is how to install the handbrake boot (all credit to Triptych for this installation guide and help, post number 204 on this thread)

For people having trouble installing the handbrake boot because they come flat not pre-bent this is what I did to fit it to my R32 GTS-T

1. Take old handbrake boot out.

2. Push leather inwards on old handbrake boot and sit the new boot on top.

3. You should now have the metal from the old boot and new boot sitting on top of each, Make sure it is lined up evenly.

4. Push the metal on the new boot at the same bend in the old boot so they are both bent at the same place.

5. Keep adding pressure to the metal on the new boot so after the bend it is touching the metal of the old boot.

6. Put them side to side to make sure they are bent in same place on the same angel etc, and fine tune as needed.

I know its a little hard to understand without pictures but seriously if you think about it, it is only a 2 minute job.

Here is how mine turned out (sorry about the bad apperture and focus on the steering wheel)

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
