Recommend a knob

[coldel]

OK, so I am changing/improving some of the interior on the Skyline - at the moment it has a genuine red stitch GTR gear knob which is a bit worn. I am getting in new gear and handbrake gaiters which are black with white stitch (and I have plastidipped the dash white) - so a chunky black and red gear knob is not the way forwards. Something black with some accent of white or a small amount of metal/alu but generally it needs to be black.

 

I am looking specifically for a knob which doesnt have a screw thread - reason being that the stick is quite high and I want the knob to sit lower so would prefer grub screw only knobs. I just want to slide it on and screw it in place.

 

So, give me some ideas

Nismo black rubber or titanium. It's used in the s tune 350z and they used them in old skyline race cars.

Shame you don't want screw on, as the Z32 gearknob is just about the best I've ever used in a road car and looks good.

Thats what I have on the car at the moment.

Yep.

Although that's a 99 spec one (red stitching).

Original ones have black stitching.

 

If you sell your red one, I'll have it off you.

All yours mate, there is some wear on the top though - can PM some pics.

 

Just need to find an alternative first

Great stuff.

PM me pics/price/post

 

I had the Nismo titanium on my 350z and quite liked that.

 

These are also comfortable to use - http://image.nengun.com/catalogue/original/nengun-0929-00-nismo-gt_500_shift_knob.jpg

Lexus IS250/300 gear knob (from an automatic though I believe)

^^ Very similar though to the Momo Combat Evo gear knob.
