stevie_350z Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Just had a replacement gear knob fitted... and the bloody thing is a dull, matt gray colour! Pointed it out to dealer and he thought it was to do with wear (ie. the gray one will miraculously turn black through my fevered gripping) but soon saw the error of his ways when I pointed out all the other Zs on his forecourt (ok, just the one then) that had the same old knob as me. Photo taken and they are going back to nissan - but he said "there's only one choice in black... and that's it" - but, I said "that aint black, it's gray." Should be interesting! Puts me off spending all that cash on a GTR if this is the kind of dodgy crap you get from dealers. Anyone else got a gray knob? Quote
Renegade Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Anyone else got a gray knob? Nope I clean mine with brasso Quote
H5 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Oh but don't worry Stevie, the GTR's will be sold and serviced through the select few..... I have an orange one, so can't help sorry. Quote
treadmill Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Newbie posting here - so go gentle... Literally about to buy my car, went to dealer yesterday and picked the holes in the car that I wanted sorting, mentioned the gear knob looked liked a scuffed pair of shoes, and I wanted a new one - he said, that might take a while, like they had trouble getting hold of them. This was Nissan Franchised dealer by the way. It looked really tatty though - I can't help thinking a decent after-market one would be better. Quote
Maccaman Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Should never post with the word knob in the title. Quote

I think their reticence on putting on a replacement gear knob will be the high price (about £200 I seem to think ) rather than the availability Quote
Stew Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Some nice aftermarket ones available for reasonable money. Quote
