Maybe I missed it but how are they installed?

You have to remove the shifter trim piece (faux leather panel) and then there are some screws that need to be removed. I think there are some clips that you pop to release as well.

Check out the GT-R push button DIY thread. It's got some good pics in there.

How do you remove the stock and put the new one in?

See above post.

So did anyone swap them out???

Anyone have pics of this installed?

Revive! bringing this back from the dead

considering this simple mod...however im wondering if anyones got more pics?

This deserves a revive. The alcantara would look so much better..

Thread revival attempt #3.
Anybody have these installed??

Only one member I knew of... Then he sold his car...

I talked to the parts guy at my local dealership about this a little while ago.

The convertible (2012 for sure - maybe others) comes with the alcantara knee pads from the factory.

I had him look up the part number to see if i could order some but it was the same part number as the regular ones from everything he looked at.

I want these so bad. Every dealer part department I've talked to can't seem to figure this out. The one online place I tried cancelled my order because it was out of stock.

Sweet! Found a set, should be here today or tomorrow. If anyone is looking, I found mine through gz06 here on the forum. Shoot him a pm if you're having the same trouble finding these as I did.

Post some :pics: when you get them installed.

I found one of a car that already has them on it.

i thought this was just part of the touring package? mine came with them, and its a 2011 touring sport coupe. just curious if they were added without my knowing. free stuff, yay? :bowrofl:

I've got a 2011 sport touring as well, and the knee pads on mine are definitely leather. Not sure how you got the alcantara ones.

Yep, same

Look what was waiting for me today when I got home. I'll dye the stitching red and hopefully get them installed over the weekend. Attachment 69426

Mine arrived Friday, installed them in 10 minutes yesterday.

Looks good, how much do they run? I wonder if anyone has done alcantara for the panel around the shifter / nav

God those look great!

did mine a while ago.

Looks good boys, I would definitely do this switch, looks more classy

I'd would have to dye the stiching red also to match the rest of the red 40th stitching

Something like this?

That's as good a pic as I can get of it.

what's the cost on these out of curiosity. Would be a nIce edition to the Nismo

I think it was around $80 shipped. Nothing too steep.

Exactly I'd have to make it like that...looks good!

Then I know whats going to happen...I'm going to want to get my steering wheel done with Alcantra from Carbon Fiber Element :rofl2:

That's the problem. I'm in that same boat now, and I can't ship the steering wheel of my daily driver to Dubai or whatever.

I hear you, I saw a few wheels on Ebay for sale which wasn't bad (without airbag which is perfect)

Good thing about CFE is they are in NY...anyways, its a slipperly slope lol

Ok, I was thinking of Carbonsignal. Either way, unless they've got a core to swap out I'm pretty much stuck with oem.
