Anyone?

I can't seem to get mine off! There is no allen key, It's just a hollow hole below the gear knob.

well has your car ever had a gearbox overhaul? clutch?

because that hollow hole should be an allen key bolt/screw.

ive noticed most mechanics either lose it or dont bother to put it back on.

otherwise how firmly did you turn it? unless its been sealed with Loctite?

I placed an allen key through that hollow hole and nothing happened. Nothing opened up or anything.

I just got it off, what a mission. Grabbed a jumbo shifter and twisted it, it was sealed with Loctite!

exactly..... just what i thought

well the allen key was missing thats why

loctite is good, cause there is nothing worse than having a knob that is wobbily whilst driving

what are u gonna put on now?

Replaced mine last week but me being the lazy bastard i am i got the mechanic to do it and got him to install my led parkers too. Mine was heaps wobbly but now i have the nismo titanium gt-500. Great gear knob i think it made my car go faster :D ..

Just bought a brand new original gear knob :)

how much did that cost you? 150$?

and did it come with the allen key bolt/screw?

Couldnt you just wrap some teflon tape around it? :D

Cheaper and lets you get it back off again later

teflon tape..... is probably not the best thing

because if the plastic around the female thread of the knob is worn.... your just gonna keep cross threading it...

im a plumber and i deal with teflon all the time.. with plastic fittings/threads , should use liquid instead

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
