Success! Black Nismo Knob On!
After almost popping a vein or two
So putting the duct tape on the knob worked (Thanks
FromG2Z 
) but not how I imagined.
Kenchan thanks also!
Wrapped the knob up in duct tape but it didn't really budge. Took the tape off and now the knob was sticky. Used one of my Terry cloths on the knob..strap wrench and OMG....it started to turn.
Camera is kinda crappy and too much flash, it looks much better in person...matches well in the interior. The feel is soooo different, but I think I like it...will drive to work tomorrow.
