You can use the nismo hub, you can also use a universal hub which is what I have that will fit any wheel that uses 6-screws

I just installed the shifter and I like it a lot. There is no sloppy stock feel at all, the throws are nice and short (I have nothing to compare it to though).

I would recommend this to anyone.

with seats esp. for the 240's its not all looks. comfort is important and those things look well padded. and lateral support is another issue which they have decent supports (for us fat amurricans anyway) and fitment is another issue because 240's have a hump on the floorpan nearing the tranny tunnel that makes most aftermarket seat rails a ***** and a half to install. most of the time the bolt towards the front and middle of the car wont go on at all. (and lastly nismo ****** would give their left nut for something like the nismo seat ugly as it is) for my effort i would source a stock r32 gt-r seat for the driver side on the 240 and stay stock for the pass. (im all about function) the gt-r seat is well bolstered and the floor pan has a near identical hump so as long as you have skyline seat rails youre straight. and another neat thing is that being that jdm cars are RHD the usdm driver seat needed would be the lesser used of the two being that it would be from the pass. side of the jdm car. anyway hope this stuff helps at least one of you.

2 front bolts on plate a mystery

how did you manage to get the 2 front bolts off then? Just curious...

I've installed a 'solid shifter', but it was more like it was a 2 piece with loc-tite in the middle hah

I've read some quotes where you had to lift the front end of your car to get to the 2 front bolts... but the work area must be tight as all hell....

its a bit of a struggle, but you can take a crescent wrench to it.
just have to figure out how to fit in there.
you can jack up the front of the car and try and get the bolts from under the car, but i actually did it from the inside of the car.

Those seats didn't look THAT bad, c'mon guys...I like the black one. The white one can go **** itself.

As far as the shifters...I drove this one kid's Civic before, and the throws were SO insanely short, it was hard to tell if you were even IN gear, or in the RIGHT gear. Thats not how any of these shifters feel is it? (B&M or Nismo?) I want a shifter that smoothly transfers from gear to gear, I've accidentally dropped my car in second from 5th before because of how sloppy the gears are in my 240 as it is. Sometimes they even get caught...I don't know if you guys know what I mean, but it really pisses me off.

Just wanted to know EXACTLY how these short shifters you guys have been talking about shift like...I don't want anything like that Civic I was talking about, that was just stupid short.

Anyway, any imput would be great. Thanks...
