Hi,

Ive been trying to take the gear knob in my car off but it wont budge. It looks like theres a white adhesive holding it in place. Im not sure but it just doesnt seem to wana come off. Ive attached a few pics of what it looks like at the bottom of it. If someone knows what it is please let me know and also how to remove it.

sorry about the quality of the pics to.

Cheers

That would be Damo being sarcastic...lol.

By the looks of it the gear knob didnt fit properly, so whoever put it on decided to wrap tape of some sort around the gear stick before jaming the knob back on. I would still say you will need to try unscrewing it and pulling up hard at the same time to get it off, wouldnt be a bad idea to leave it in the sun for a little while to warm up, might make the glue go sticky and come off easier, oh, and make sure your head is out of the way when you do it, or set a video camera up for when you punch yourself in the face! lol!

My 2 cents, hope it helps!

seriously bad photos,,, but I would guess they have a tiny set screw along the bottom. and lots of silicone to hold it

unbolt the shifter from the top of the housing and then look at it on a workbench.. ???

    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
