    Default Gearknob thread converter? Toyota- Nissan.

    OH HAI.

    So, I've got a gearknob. It is Toyota thread. This is all very well and good, but I have a dirty Nissan now.
    I've tried looking for thread converters at repco, autobarn, and supercheap, all to find they have nothing.
    So, where the hell do I get them?
    Thanks,
    Ryan.

    have you checked if it fits yet? I ran an S15 gearknob on my sprinter with zero problems.

    I have. The R31 thread is tiny compared to the toyota thread.

    ok, you could get a bolt that fits the gearbkob and get a hole drilled and tapped to suit the nissan stick, or get a sleeve turned to fit between i suppose.

    Hose sound a tad sketch, like, It would suck if I was doing some spirited driving and my knob flew off...
    lol.
    I think i'll have a crack at just making a converter, it doesn't seem hard at all.
    Anyone know what size toyota thread is?

    Toyota is M12 x 1.25 fine, R31 is M10 x 1.25 fine.

    I would honestly sell your current one and go buy a gearknob to suit the R31.

    Thank you touge boy.
    Why do you say that? I know it seems a bit dodge, but I quite like my gearknob.
