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

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

and thats from Carmate USA Directly.

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?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
