Dad, thanks for that :-) Sounds easy so I attempted it today.

See attached pics for results: Sorry for the iphone pics

The F*#k#@%g knob would not come off, I did everything, radiator hose, etc. etc. I finally gave up, because it kept slipping, so I just went for it and put channel locks directly on the knob, then it finally started to turn. After completely destroying the OEM, it was off.

My Nismo knob came with the same instructions and was listed to fit 370z, although there is no way the rubber finisher mount would fit below the shifter knob, it wouldn't ever begin to thread on, it's like the shifter stalk was too short. So I put it on without the rubber finisher, and it seam to go on fine.
I used the stock plastic boot holder with zip tie under the shifter, seams to work as well.

Now I have to get use to it, I love the look, just feels a bit thin compared to the OEM.
