Albeit seriously premature, but I'd definitely love to see what type of mechanism you come up with. Right now I'm using the shifter adapter from JDM Parts Ninja and, well, it definitely isn't perfect. Not worth the money for what it is, but at least I can run any type of knøb.

Edited: The RX8 had one big **** in the center of the radio; one of the common mods (I did it too) was a rotor-shaped ****. Looked very neat but only rotorheads catch it. Not sure what a VQ-person could do with that - the skyline badge doesn't lend itself.

You know there will be a market for that. Hell, I think knurled aluminum would be neat.

I had a sticking replacement shock in my camaro. Everything was tight stationary, but when weight shifted one way then the other, the movement in the shock wasn't smooth, resulting in a clunk.This became evident when going F/R back and forth (rocking the car). Maybe something similar in your case?
This was some cheap monroe (or one of the other popular brand names from back in the day) shocks. Replaced with with bilsteins, no problems.

I thought top hats were the problem, switched to Z struts with newer strut mounts and still had the same noise.
Had a buddy tell me either strut mount or UCA for front clacking noises in G/Zs

They're brand new Konis, so I hope they aren't defective. Didn't have a clunk before, so that tells me it is a part I touched when I changed the shocks/springs.
I got whiteline front swaybar links since I was replacing the shocks (for you X people, the swaybar link upper bolt is what holds the shock in) and the nuts provided don't seat all the way on the thicker Hotchkis sway. I think I'll revert to the OEM nut which is thinner, and re-do the length of them with the car on ramps again.
