Shift ****
I was wondering how many of you have changed the shift **** from the stock one in your Z.
I was thinking about the nismo stainless (nice and shiny, dont so much like the matte Titanium ****) but that thing gets f'ing HOT in the sun, so I was wondering if any of you have gone with a different, but still leather wrapped or similarly cool, **** and whether or not you are happy with it.

I just installed the Nismo titanium gt shift **** on my rogue short shifter tonight and I love it! With this combo the shifts are vary fast and much shorter than stock.

I had the Nismo Chrome Aluminum **** before... man that thing can get HOT!!!11!!!one
I had to use a sock (one with a hole that I carry in the car for dusting purposes... yes, it's clean) to put over the **** so I could drive home after class one time...
I personally don't really care for the Chrome Aluminum's shaft b/c it's rather thin for my tastes (and comfort). But it looks nice if you're into that *bling* factor

Bran, the **** gets hot just like anything else (plastic interior, etc.) but not to the degree of the aluminum **** in my experience. YMMV
I try not to park in the direct sunlight, but that one time with the burning aluminum ****... it just couldn't be avoided. It's maybe that since I try to really avoid leaving the car in the sun, that I haven't experienced any "hand-melting" problems with the Ti... so far

I assume since that there is such a thing as titanium cookware, that Ti must be a relatively good conduit for heat transfer... the heat property differences between Al and Ti... well, let's hope your research turns up something that we can all learn
edit: you posted before I sent my reply... good looking out. Now I've learned something about metals today

Because the stock **** left an H pattern on my hand after being in the sun, and because I wanted shorter and lighter, I got the nismo plastic black ball shifter. it never gets hot, short and to the point.
It has little bling factor but ergonomics is more important to me than show.
