help if you have a soarer...

[WazR32GTSt]

ok i tried posting this in the 'general automotive discussion' section, but lets face it the victorians are the best and clearly the most help so i will try it here...

i like the gear knob in the suto soarers and tried to look for an aftermarket one that looks similar, but they are way too expensive (also, not that many with the overdrive button built in).

then i thought that if i couldn't find an aftermarket one, why not just put an original soarer one on? (and if its plastic i could just paint it or if its leather i could dye it to match my interior...)

so, i wanted to know if the gear knob from the soarer is removable, and will it be a straight fit onto where the skyline auto knob was?

or any info about this or help at all is appreciated!

cheers..

Warren.

the knob is removable...u just push the plastic piece at the bottom of the shifter downwards and then there are 2 screws there.....undo them and it just simply slides off.....dunno if it would fit into the skyline though....worth a try

which u can see in the first pic... i took the pics of what it looks like inside as well as the bit it joins on to so u can pull urs off and see if it looks similar inside etc.

failing that if u wanna come around some day and take a look we can pull em off and see if it fits onto ur 32.

wow that was quick!

thanks for the pics inark... i will remove mine on tuesday and see if they look similar, and may even take you up on that offer of seeing if it fits onto my position if i can work out the pics.

also, what is it made of? i think (not sure) the TT ones are plastic but the V8 ones are trimmed in leather. true? false?

[inark]

pretty sure that its a factory option so depends cause this is trimmed in leather.
