Ok J... Here's what you do....

1)E-mail them privately... explain the problem (be nice) and ask them if they can help you to resolve it.

2)If that dosent work then threaten them with negative feedback....

Still no worky???

3)Threaten them with not only N. feedback but also a formal complaint to e-bay...

Still $hit out of luck??????

4)Contact e-bay for assistance with a resolution to your problem.

There we go my trusty PostWhore side-kick hope this helps

Louis

The shift **** was received but the **** did not come with proper threading for installation, in fact it doesnt come with any threading... I've gone to the dealer and I've been told this **** is a fake so please... send me a real nismo shift **** or offer me a refund... i dont want to leave negative feedback unless im provoked ...
Thank you!
YY
Thats what i wrote to the vendor

might want to try to thread it yourself. it isn't hard. you just have to get a hammer, sand paper and rope.

You can dip the plastic in acetone and thread it into the shift **** with force, remove it, wash with water, re-insert..(go go orgo chem)

Nismo-Hater wants a Nismo shift ****? Okay, I'll let it go...

The white plastic part is "self-threading." It's not supposed to be threaded, until you actually screw the **** onto the shifter. Which one did you buy? I have the Titanium shift **** (not the GT Titanium). "Just screw it."

Think of it like a wood screw. You know how you don't need to pre-drill a hole for a wood screw, you just screw it into the wood? Sort of the same thing... the white plastic thing is the wood, your shifter is the wood screw.

actually this is correct. the white peice goes on before the ****. the shifter itself will thread itself. i have the black aluminum. installation should be pretty simple.

Many "universal" shiftknobs sold are like this. The plastic threads itself so you can put it in most shifters with different pitch. You just slide in the closest diameter of plastic tube.

That ebay Nismo one you bought is fake for sure, if it's not already threaded.

BY THE WAY... I GOT WORDS BACK FROM VENDOR...
We never state this is real one plus real one will cost you at least double of the price or more.

If it can’t fit properly please return the item and we will issue you refund after we receive the **** back from you and please includes the item number.
