Hi , just an introduction I just bought a 55 plate 350z (haven't really driven it yet as still being serviced and delivered thurday, time is going really slow...). It's done 24k miles so in good nick except the gear knob which has seen much better days and let's the rest of the interior down - think it's been swapped with a high mileage car at some point), hence I'm looking for a minty fresh one (grey) if anyone can help it would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Jon

Join www.350z-uk.com. I'm pretty sure one of the member traders on there is currently selling these.

Great choice, Congrats!

The gearknobs do wear quickly in a Zed, I had a similar mileage car and the knob was a little worn. Can only assume that whoever owned the car last like to drive around with their hand on the knob. wobble

Loads of people of replaced them with aftermarket items and the nismo one is a popular but expensive swap.

Thanks - I tried joining 350z-uk but I never got the registration confirmation email despite re-requesting it several times. It say to contact an administrator, but there's no way of doing that unless you're logged on - catch 22 (and yes, I checked my junk mail too).

As for the knob, I'm an OEM type, so looking for the original item!

Thanks for the replies.

Hi, I'm a member of the 350z-UK club (welcome!). If you ping your sign up details to an admin in the forum they will sort the account out for you.

(Scroll to the bottom right - "The Team"). http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/

If your stuck in a catch 22 situation then PM me on here and I'll try and get someone to sort out the issue for you (give me your forum username and i'll pass it on to an admin or mod to sort out).

There are loads of different shifter knobs - I have a carbon Nismo on mine and feels better than the OEM. smile

Jon,

If you PM me your 350z-uk login and your email address I'll email one of the mods through the website? Have just done a quick search and one of the member traders (zmanalex) does a lot of business through the website and gets good feedback - although I've never used him. He's recently replied to someone else asking the same thing and was selling a used gearknob for £45.

Thanks Anubis/Animal - I can't PM on this forum for 24 hours, but if you do get a chance my 350z-uk username is webbtay. I did manage to register got one email but it didn't have any account activation link.

Ta,
Jon.
