Shift Knob For Automatic Skylines

[POLICE]

Hey I got an automatic R33, wanna know if anyone has changed their automatic shift knob.

If so what did ya do to the overdrive wire that was connected to the original factory shift knob

and do I need to buy a shift knob with an overdrive button?

Thanks In Advance

Dont know why you would change it unless you are going manualised auto? most ppl who do that go a b&m style ratchet shifter, but that means cutting the console etc to fit it.

as for the overdrive button, just rewire it to a switch or push button and mount it near the shifter somewhere. you can buy addons for some of the b&m shifters that have an overdrive button in them. could be hard to find.

there was also a topic on here somewhere ages ago where someone sourced a different shifter for an auto out of a 300zx or something similar, looks a bit more sporty. kinda similar shape to r34 tiptronic shifters. check ebay maybe?

i got a magic stick in the ceffy, its a non t-piece style auto shifter with the overdrive button. bought it in japan... was like $30 bucks. Haven't seen anything even remotely similar available locally, at least not with the overdrive button and gear release buttons.

There's also the Navan shift knob which is pretty popular with 300ZX drivers. I had one of those and sold it for $150 a couple of years ago. Again with the gear release and overdrive buttons.

unless my job does not involve driving through the CBD

I think I'll stick to my automatic

as I don't want my hands all sore when I get to work at peak hour

I still have fun shifting to neutral when coming to a stop

yes 1 to make it look like I'm driving manual and 2 to save some petrol

thanks Basti I'll have a look at that

Also, Pilot (pictured) & Razo have some shift knob's with the O/D button.

Hey that looks really cool, you know where I can purchase one of these?

[airbornesoldier]

that navan shifter looks ugly... mines been changed to something similar to the razo one, it looks alot better than the standard one imo.

Jet Pilot Auto Shift Knob

[nizmonut]

yeah wouldnt mind one for the gts4 but its kind'a too battle star galactica for my liking.

Jet Pilot Auto Shift Knob

I was looking at that last month, but still haven't got a reply from them yet.

I asked if it woud fit our GTT's.

Don't think there gonna reply, let me know if you go ahead with it. i just want to know if it fits.

Yahoo Auctions Search for Auto shifters with overdrive. Contact Laurence to grab one (would be cheaper than buyin the same thing off some leprechaun in the US who imports it from japan to sell on ebay).

[LiQuid IcE]

im pretty sure you need one with the big button on the side? i could be wrong.

I just fitted mine with a S1 Stagea knob with a manual surround..

Took a bit of modifing but it works now..

Looks much better then that chrome one.
