Yeah mine doesnt fit my r32 gtst either. Apparantly the easiest thing to do is to get a really cheap one that fits from Auotbarn etc and take the nylon/plastic insert out from the middle and fit it to the Nismo gear knob.

But i dont know how ur meant to get the plastic out, its stuck in pretty hard, maybe even glued.

i got a nismo gear knob it came with the car and it looks like it fits the gear stick like they were made for each other. does that mean i have a different gear stick or what?

The gearknobs come with 15mm inserts unfortunately

There is a screw in the top and you just unscrew and get a 10mm insert. Alot of people glue them in but im not too keen on that idea.

hmm, I don't wanna just go out and buy a random knob and try it multiple times and have all these useless knobs sitting around

anyone solved the problem with a 10mm insert yet?, which gear knob did you buy?

Yeah n00se we have pretty similar GTR's....your s has white rims and a boot lip and mine doesn't tho.....and I have the black chrome gear knob too

I went into Autobarn the other day and they sell the inserts by themselves, so you dont have to buy a gearknob.

But since i still cant get the plastic out of the centre of mine i couldnt try any to see if they fit. :-(

[GKTECH]

Oh okay, what did they cost you?

The insert on the gearknobs are held in with a screw. Just unscrew it and it pretty much should fall out.

Did you buy one? If so do you have the receipt with the product number? I went to Autobarn today and they didn't know what I was talking about

Ah no i didnt buy one, i couldnt get the centre out of my gearknob so i couldnt try a new insert.

I went to Autobarn in Brighton Vic, they had heaps of inserts under the counter.

I originally asked for the cheapest knob they had but i got talking with the sales guy and he had an R33 and new what i was talking about.

Hes not on the forums though, how could you have a skylinein Aus and not be on www.skylinesaustralia.com ? Its a great way to waste a fair chunk of your life.

[GKTECH]

Oh Okay, i might see if I can buy a heap of plastic sheet and make up some inserts. I'll see what I can come up with over the weekend.

my dad is going to make me a 10mm insert now (if he can)....he's a fitter/turner for National Foods/Masters

maybe a hardware/piping store like coventry's has something to the affect?
