I know people have put threads up before, asking where they can get specific gear knobs from but is there a UK supplier that sell JDM gear knobs?

I wouldn't mind buying one but all the nice ones from Japan are usually 5MT not 6MT for the Spec R.
My other choice would be to get one from Orlando when i go in a few months.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Also, if any US residents can point me in the right direction of part suppliers in Orlando that would be great.

Cheers :D

I've been looking at the Nismo black one but apparently the thread size is different from 5 to 6 speed

I read up on this a few month ago, and I found that 10x1.25 is the 5sp and the specR 6sp is 12x1.25.

Yes, the thread size is different, the 5 speeds, S14, S15 are 10mm and the 6 speed 12mm. Some knob sellers like the Razo, which I have, sell adapter multi thread fittings with their knobs

You would be better to buy a universal fit Knob which has different size adaptors. A 5 speed knob will be a set 10mm

Anyone got a pictures of a adapter you would need I can only see reducers. Surely it should be easy to re–thread it to the 12x1.25?
