Installed my PW JDM knob today. PITA to swap out the oem knob. Strap wrench, visegrip, and muscle took about 20 minutes to break the knob loose from it's thread. No damage to the oem knob. I cut off and used the neck of a rainex spray bottle and stuck it on the shifter to flush the boot to the bottom of the JDM knob. Happy with the weighted steel knob and fits the palm of my hand perfectly. Now if only the rains would stop so I can clean her.

^ Yup, that is the way to go, water bottle top is what most of us used. A tad of thread lock is in need. To be honest I did not think they were making the knob anymore, shux was hoping for it to become a collectors item. Glad you like it, and for the price it beat my $179 Nismo Titanium GT knob. Keep a golf club booty handy for them hot weather days, the knob sure does heat up in the sun.

After 20 minutes of trying to start my '09 because of the "dreaded steering lock" problem, and finally able to start it, I brought it right to a Nissan Dealer to get it fixed. Fun is............:mad:

What do you mean fixed? If you got it started, don't pay the dealer to replace it - just remove the fuse per the DIY thread below. The replacements are known to fail as well :shakes head:

that sucks, sorry to hear...I really need to follow that DIY on removing that fuse...I have an early '10 so can still happen to me.

I recommend it immediately (15 min tops) :tup: I just removed the fuse on my early model 2011 a few weeks ago.

My Nissan Dealer just called me with great news. The fix is under warranty so there will be no cost to me. Thank goodness! It was going to be a $1,500 fix! Why wasn't this a recall? Come on Nissan!!!!!

:tup:

When you get your car back pull the fuse man! I wish I did. My replacement unit failed less than a year after.

Hmm, hopefully today I'll be legal. It's been a PITA trying to get my title and registration done.

Had two weeks to do it, they finally Fedexed it to the DMV the very last day. Went yesterday to the DMV and now they are throwing a fit, because a PO BOX doesn't match. Got that straightened and going today to see if I can stop bein' all illegal and stuff.

wash and wax for the weekend:tup:

:tup:mr. BC is off work today! I am hoping he installs my (spats) (mud guards)!
I am still a bit amazed that he went to all the trouble to order them and then have them painted to match (they aren't available stock in the bc color). :tup::happydance:

Bought a Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi shift knob. Estimated delivery timeframe: 1-3 months.

o_O

I understand the wait is worth it :tup:
