Gb: Nismo Leather Gear Knob

[Mr-Toy33]

Currently. This is just to see the interest in those wanting to purchase a Nismo Leather Gear Knob for their R33 Skyline.

The gear knob has a greater feel for when changing gears and is designed for any 5speed R33 GTS-T manual gearbox. It's 10mm and able to screw straight onto any GTS-T gear stick that hasn't been modified.

It may also be able to fit onto a R33 GT-R and possibly any R32 or R34. However, it is recommended before purchasing one of these that you check the gear stick and that it is 10mm.

Start date: 22nd November, 2005.

End date: 28th November, 2005.

Please note:

This is only to see the interest from those wanting to purchase one of these gear knobs. If I see the interest of 10 or more wanting to purchase one of these, I'll go through with the order.

Price: $74.95 which also includes postage from Brisbane.

Sample image of what the gear knob will look like once you've received it.

I take it from the no response. That theres no interest in this gear knob?

I'm interested but admittedly have not measured my gearknob (Stock Series II R33 GTS25T) and will be emailing a mate of mine to see if he is keen too. Are these genuine?

Whats the deal r33skyliner? thats hardly a group buy price!??

[No Crust Racing]

I'd just started looking into these and found items for $100 delivered so thought this was a good price. Upon looking at Nengun, I see it's a little over priced perhaps.

[Bliksem]

I got mine from nengun for $60 in August.

Sorry to kinda mess up your gb :-(

[Mr-Toy33]

I didnt even look at the Nengun site.

I found another site that was offering it at the price I've offered them at above including postage of course.

Just looked at the Nengun website and they aren't offering discounted prices on bulk purchases.

I'll look further into other posibilties tomorrow while at work and see what I can come up with then.

[dezz]

they dont have to offer discounts because their normal prices shit all over everyone else...even with their delivery cost system....

[No Crust Racing]

Just to confirm, they are in Japan right? as the freight prices seem a bit much.

Dezz: How much longer til she arrives mate? (You are the dude who pm'd me about my car right?)

[dezz]

lol yeah dont wanna get this thread off topic, but yeah my car is in brisbane today or tomorrow.

as for the GB. nengun are in japan. and for items like these, the postage is about $20...and unfortunately they dont send things with combined postage total.... i priced 3 items (clear indicators, nismo key, and this gear knob) all had about $20 postage....but still work out well cheaper than anywhere else ive seen.

[No Crust Racing]

Yer, I really like the Nismo Leather Gearknob, hopefully r33skyliner can come up with something price wise =)

Awesome news on the car, so close you can taste it hey.....

Having been in that situation (waiting) and coming from a similar car to you, god damn you are gonna love it =D Don't even say the words Fuel Economy for a while and don't be surprised when you drop the clutch and leave two big black marks from the rear, that's right... TWO marks and from the REAR. LoL None of this single spinner from the front junk =D

Woops, Thread Hijack Detected =\

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yea it will fit. Ive got one in my car.

[Mr-Toy33]

Okay..... seems as though the best option i'm going to be able to do is around the $65-$70 mark.

Of course, this is coming from Nengun....

a) I'll purchase them all in bulk so that they all arrive here in the one package.

B) Once received, I've then got to send them out to you. So the extra $5-$10 ontop of the nengun price will include the cost of posting it from me to you.

Now, Nengun being a business and I know how businesses think these days, it would probably be best to have it posted all in bulk for 1 reason - The bigger the order you place with a company like Nengun, the more quicker they'll send the box out to you.

example -

I order 11 gear knob sticks (total of $660) and someone else orders 1x gear knob. Which do you think the business is more interested in making happy and making sure they return again?

This I know from 2 experiences...

1) Running my own business (though you may say this is bad business on my behalf. But when you have someone buying things in bulk, you look after them a bit better).

2) When I use to work in a computer store.

Only reason I state $5-$10 for postage is cause I wont know the exact cost of the postage for it till it arrives and I can then take it down to Aust. Post and have it weighed.

PM coming your way

[Mr-Toy33]

This will no longer be going ahead due to no interest and fact that pricing can not be met in accordance with Nengun.

Thanks all.
