anyone looked into this? i haven't seen anything on 5th gens...i was thinking about it but since it is an oval shape, a round handle would look kinda bad and stick out, but if you were to get a black leather shift boot and cover up all of the ebrake except for the handle, it might look pretty good...i'm figuring this can't be done since nobody to my knowledge on a 5th gen has done it so far...let me know if i can be, though

 

I want to get a REAL leather shift boot. The cheesy faux-leather is just aweful. Anyone know if/where they are available?

 

Sounds like you are though... ask you asking if someone removed the hard plastic piece (setup similar to the 4th gens)?

 

i'm pretty sure mingo has just done the leather shift boot...i'm not asking about that, i know how to do that

 

Hey, what happened to my previous post?

 

alright, thats weird...mingo told me that he just basically stuffed the leather boot in there...i can handle that...i want to change the ebrake handle, you know, like changing a shift ****...i want to get a carbon fiber one or something like that

 

Not really related to the question, but out of curiosity....


When the e-brake is pulled, does anyone else chronically hit their knee on it when getting into the car...

Or am I just weird that way???

Believe it or not, this is one of my biggest gripes with the car... (that's a good thing :-)

Nope...

 

i'm pretty sure nissan made it like this so you don't drive with the ebrake on...remember, people are idiots and nissan assumes that

 

i think u gotta replace the whole ebrake assembly.. or at least that's what i almost did. i tried twisting the sucker but it dont' come loose.. i was gonna swap the fifth gen ebrake with the fourth but instead i got lazy and just bought a 3000cc cefiro shift boot which doesn't exactly fit all that well on our fifth gen.. and i never got around sewing in a metal bracket so i could mount it better.
