GT-R shift knob on 7AT +pics

zuperman 370 · 07-05-2011, 11:26 AM

so as i mentioned today i was thinking of fixing a GT-R shift knob on our 7AT, well this afternoon i passed by the body shop to check on my car, and turns out that my friends GT-R was there as well, any ways we though we would test fit the shift knob on my Z and it actually fits and works and shifts perfectly, but if we want it to sit low like the GT-R's there will be some modifications required to make it look like that, well i took some pics they might not be that good but it might give u guys some idea, i will do this i just need to find a place that would do the modification for me to make it sit low.

Hm. Interesting.

Yeah. It sits very awkwardly though.

Thanks man......do i hear group buy?

Let us know what the shop has to do in order to have it sit real low, make a DIY if you don't mind whenever you have it done.

thats sick, can you confirm if that clip which holds our knobs also is used or GTR clip?

lowering wont be a problem as would need some cutting thats all

Doc our clips will not hold the gtr knob when purchasing the gtr knob also purchase the gtr knob clip I think it's around 2 or 3 $ only

as for cutting yeh it is possible but I don't think I'll cut it's to much of a headache I might custom a leather booth exactly like the one used for the MT I like the design of it and pluse ill have the best of 2 worlds a MT booth/look with a gtr knob = win win

this is some sweet stuff here.

the only thing that worries me is the labeling on the knob...it will be backwards for our cars....

as far as height is concerned you should be able to just cut the silver piece.

Why would that matter?

Maybe instead of cutting to lower just put and nice leather or suede boot.

I'm not familiar with the 7at setup. Isnt this "silver piece" threaded?

That would be my thought.

not sure however you are probably right in that it's threaded (rather than just a slide off and clip)

Yeah. My concern would be you'd have to rethread it after cutting it Dow
