Vinyl or rubber boot?

Vinyl is attached to the plastic. Lift the rear edge to pop the plastic up

Rubber boot has a metal ring with 4 screws holding it down

Need to screw off the knob to get them both off the shaft

If you're talking about the rubber boot that's cable tied to the shifter and sits around the gearbox to stop gear oil flicking out, that's a real SOB to get off.

It's manageable. I've don't it a few times but with minor tears.

If it's what I'm thinking and same on the 180sx shifter, slip a cloth between the boot and the shifter when you invert the boot to try take it off. With the cloth, it'll allow the boot to slip/slide off easier.

Cheers,

Andy

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?

    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
