The engrish instructions are crappy, but there are a few things I found that you need to do to get it to work with the R34. What you need to do is..

1. remove the original gear knob (2 philips screws)

2. take off the white tube that allows you to push down/select gear.

3. replace with the black spacer supplied, but before you do that you need to make a slight adjustment to the spacer's outer diameter via a dremel or in my case light sanding.

4. line up the top of the spring to the top of the spacer, and reassemble.

If it's the same push down mechanism it'll work. But remember I had to file down my spacer a little to get it to work with the 34.

Shipping was USPS i believe.. that's the regular afaik and it took about a week. But if you're buying through carbeyond.. forget about tracking because they don't reply to emails, those slack asses .. :P

Just received an Email from Carmate USA and they confirmed that this Gear knob will fit perfectly fit the R34 Auto.

Quoted me: "RA118 is US$79.00 and shipping will be US$35, totaling US$114.00."

and thats from Carmate USA Directly.

Howie, U Ordered urs thru carbeyond issit?

I'll try to search mabe i can get it cheaper somewhere else :P

Yep from carbeyond buddy.. but i only paid something like 11 bucks shipping through them.

Btw, felt heaps good going up and down through the gears today.. i usually use the steering wheel buttons but loving the weight and the 'springiness' of this item so i'm using the stick more.

Hey Howie, sorry to dig up an old thread, but i bought the car without the black part and only the white plastic bit. can i get a photo of what the black part should look like? also did you buy direct from carbeyond or from an authorised dealer. If so, which one got u 11$ postage?

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
