Administrators gav240z Posted March 13, 2015 Administrators Posted March 13, 2015 Hi Guys, I have another 5 speed gear knob for sale. It has very light wear, the outer chrome trim has very minor blemishing, but otherwise in great shape as you can hopefully see from the photos. Comparing with another I sold recently here. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,14947.0.html It would appear to have a slightly different grip, the previous 1 had more of a leather look, where as this has more of a rubber texture. Could be from a similar era Nissan Skyline or Bluebird? Going to list this 1 at $150 neg due to great condition and rarity of these knobs. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted March 13, 2015 Author Administrators Posted March 13, 2015 Also saw this recently listed as Skyline Knob. http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w117696073#enlargeimg Went for approx $150 AU before shipping / auction fee's etc.. Quote

dat2kman Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Knob's almost worth the rest f the box,,,, Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 16, 2015 Author Administrators Posted September 16, 2015 Gav you still have this? Sorry gone. There was 1 on eBay US but it was in tatty shape and with currency conversion would cost more than this. If I find another I'll let you know. Quote
locklock Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks.. If oz dollars is bad.. My ringgit is worst :~( Btw anyone restored a gear knob before? My 240z gear knob top part is cracked. It is possible to change the plastic? Quote
GongZ Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Hi locklock, the 5-speed 240Z gear knob is as difficult, if not more difficult, to find than the 5-speed 260Z gear knob. There are a few topics on this site about these knobs/shift-pattern buttons. This one - http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/13728-wtb-240z-gear-knob-button/ is the most hopeful that I have found so far. One of the members, taylor, has made some reproductions of the shift-pattern button; I made these 5 speed buttons with some degree of success , however all my moulds are in Australia and I'm now living in Vancouver. If I get back there this year I will make some more . So one option seems to be to wait until taylor comes back to Australia, or Gavin said - I can obtain OEM 5 speed gear knobs. Along with almost any other part. It is just the price.Be prepared to pay $300+ for a 5 speed gear knob in NOS condition. And there is also this copy - but its not as accurate as the copies that taylor can make - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-260Z-280Z-reproduction-shift-knob-5-speed-walnut-/380931912066 Quote
