hey does anyone have any experience installing the nismo shift **** in their G35 coupe? i tried to last week, but failed miserably. looking for someone/something to help me install this better. i searched and found a DIY but it didnt really help much as it left me with holes on the installing instructions.

also.. haha... if anyone can link me to what powdercoated black oem 19"s look on a G35 coupe that would be sick. i searched, but failed again!

 

were you able to take off the stock yet? or that what you need help doing?

 

failed miserably? did you try to put the **** over the stock one?

 

I'd like to see that.

-sliq- If you ever in Solano County...PM me. I'll help you...ummm it's easy.

 

thanks cpv

yeah i tried taking it off, but i got stuck on the twisting the **** off. i realized i was twisting it the opposite direction that i was suppose to twist it so thats why i stopped cuz i didnt wanna mess anything else up. im in south bay fri

 

You didnt hurt anything doing what you did. I'm opposite of bay where you are.
Just remember...lefty/loosy...righty/tighty...
Give it another try...you'll do fine.

 

oOohh i see..

twist off the **** COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (easy way to remember it, RIGHTY-TIGHTY, LEFTY-LOOSEY). keep turning until it kind of have a "play" to it (a little wobbley), the pull off. there's this fat rubber stopper that would be left on the thread after pulling it off.

ahh crap, you beat me to it! (the righty tighty junk)

 

yeah i was at the part where i had to roll down the rubber thing... overlap it with something so it wont scratch it then twist it, but i couldnt get it to get budge...

 

Early bird gets the worm
High school autoshop 101...lol

 

just leave the the rubber stopper on the thread. when you screw in the new shift ****, the rubber will go down with it. (i dont know how aftermarket ***** are designed you may or may not need the rubber stopper).

 

no link but OEM 19's look good in black. make sure to run spacers though. also, imo, they look horrible with black spokes and a polished lip. makes it seem like you are trying to go for that look but you only have like a 1 inch lip. keep it all black or stock.

 

spacers?

 

that's what he said.

 

Be sure to post up pics when you get the **** on.
