If any of you are considering this install the best piece of advice I can give you is don't. Just get the gruppe M lookalike and be happy. This part turned out to be a pain in the neck. After waiting weeks for it to arrive it turns out that it has a stud with male threads insted of female threads!!! The logical thing would be to order the stalk, but alas this part is on backorder in Japan. One can hardly blame them as the last time they put it on a car was 12 years ago!
So out I go to see Amo and get the shifter mechanism from his 91 JDM. This also happened to have been worked on in Japan as the throws feel shorter than UK, and the stalk is a solid stem.
I chopped 2 7/8" inches from the top leaving a bit of the hollow and had a nut welded on top. Job done now I have my Ersatz NA1 NSX-R stalk but with a twist, as this one is solid.
Two days later and it is finish. In hindsight I should have sold it and done it the easy way with a gruppe M one, but where is the fun in that?
Since I was at it I also installed a Momo tuner ( debagded ) with a Taitec Hub and a genuine NSX-R Trim and Horn kit.
The end results can be seen in the pictures, now I'll go have a nice cold Heineken while I looke at the tall grass I should have mowed instead of playing mechanic! :)
