Guys,

Just tried fitting my chrome aluminium Nismo **** and hit a problem. Can you help?

I have put it on but the collet (little fat washer thing) is rattling.

**** seems tight but maybe I haven't put it on far enough?

Thanks
Stuart

 

I didn't use the little metal washer. No rattles and tight fitting. Try your **** without it.

 

Cool thanks for the tip.

I know the trouble getting that thing off like everyone else does. Just want to say that is one SWEEEEEET ****. Z Ya! "FLZ", Dave

 

Alright folks, I recently bought the Titanium **** about a month ago. I had the car in for maintenance and bought the **** from the dealer and they installed it. Here is the problem. The thing stripped out. They used the fat washer and the black bottom. I noticed the thing was a little loose when I left as it turned left and right a bit. I tightened it down a little more and it seemed fine. Over time, however it kept getting loose and that is when I noticed that it was actually stripped out. I can turn it and turn it and it never gets tight.

Anyway that is not big deal except that I took it off and noticed the inside is not Titanium it is a plastic insert screwed to the Titanium and threaded to go on to the shifter.

Man for the money I paid for this thing I expect much better quality than that cheap *** plastic insert. I am not happy at all. I am taking it back.

 

What's Up Ricky,

I got mine back in March and you will definitely enjoy it.

 

ricky, it took u 4 days??? lol. i did mine in 20 minutes

 

i got the carbon fiber nismo as well. what is so hard about the install. i am doing it saturday. and i don't plan on spending more then 25 min on it.

 

Some ***** are on VERY tight (liberal use of Loctite or something). That is the only difficult part... which is alleviated with some good tools... not a difficult install, just a pain in the butt if it's on there tight

 

just get some quality wrenches. =] and dont have yer gf help....i asked mine, just so she wouldnt ***** i was with my car all the time, i handed her the oem ****, and she dropped that brick on my car. i was like, SOFJIRWEJFIERJKLFCUK!!!!!

 

no i have a couple of hard hittin brothas commin to help me. it won't be a prob.

 

why are these ppl have this much trouble..i installed my nismo shift **** in 5 mins

easy easy

 

A lot of the 2003 Z owners had their shift ***** installed with either a massive amount of Loctite or it was simply torqued on way too much (or both). I'm guessing that the 2004's might be easier to remove... (maybe even by hand)

 

I approve looks nice.

 

Great shifter i have the exact same one...
