What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

If you are trying to remove it without damaging it good luck. When I removed mine it came off in multiple pieces.

I guess the Nissan worker that put my shift knob on had a lazy day and didnt put it on the way it was supposed to... My shift knob came off without a struggle and intact.

1) accept that you are going to destroy your shift knob in the process of taking it off the car. I've done it twice - on my current car the knob actually ripped in half all the way through the aluminum threading.

2). Assemble the following: two pipe wrenches, a towel, wire brush, and a friend.

3). Attach wrench #1 to shift knob. Wrap towel around shifter (shaft) and attach wrench #2. Have your friend hold wrench #2 steady so you don't torque the gearbox and go to town on the shift knob. It'll come off. Use wire brush to clean threading on shaft.

Nissan uses a ridiculous amount of loctite on the OEM shift knob for reasons I will never understand - especially considering they sell aftermarket shift knobs.

Thought about how pretty she looked when she was clean.

She won't be getting a bath soon, as it's still supposed to be windy and dusty.

Normally I would have driven her but I didn't want to dirty her after getting her so clean lol.

Going to work on fixing me CF side blade on the passenger side...2 weeks after installing it, already kinda cracked it on a speed bump in my parking...hate speed bumps
