BUmping an old thread but does anyone know if that 350Z 5AT shift ring will fit around the G35 shift plate. I am kind of lost on what to do with my ugly 5AT shift boot; not ashamed of it being an auto; but it looks like crap compared to the 2005 5AT G35s.

You can tuck a boot underneath the shift boot; but it looks very out of place and doesn't flow well inside. The 350Z on the other hand; looks very nice when it is tucked in and looks just like a 6mt. I was trying to get that plastic piece around the 350Z shift plate; and just gluing it around the G35 shift plate so it looks cleaner when you tuck the boot underneath it.

They look like this:
I have some pictures of how it looks underneath but not really all too clear:
If you can see in the picture; you can just remove the shift ring by unplugging the harness and unscrewing the 3 screws to take it off the center console. That will be my next step; but I just need to find something to fit the void (ie. the trim piece around) and I think I should be good.
With nicer weather on the way and no more need for an electric heater in the car; I might be able to get a nicer shifter; haha.

...Peace, brother. But it's "piece", BTW. I keep seeing all these grammatical/spelling snafus. I started speaking/writing English when I was 20--when I joined the Air Force. Previously, I had only "school-English" experience. I guess I had good teachers!!! No wrongs meant, guys, it's just that you expect native speakers of the language to be better than you, and am surprised. At any rate, THANK YOU for the tips/advice on Zeds, I truly appreciate them!

havent read much... but i take it you can't disable the AT safety lock any sort of way...?? so you can use any ****? tried a search but blagh....
if u stick ur finger in the keyslot if you never have when you push the AT safety lock button you can feel the saftey mechanism moving.
is it even possible to disable it???

unless you figure out a way to disable the saftey lock button on the 5at shifter you're not getting a manual non button shift **** to work unless you dont want your key coming out of the ignition switch.
i've already found the bar that moves when it's in park and the break is pushed in.
to try the safty button go stick ur finger in your key hole slot and push the AT button, you will feel the safety lock mechanism moving.
this is the whole reason they sell AT shift *****. that button on the 5at shifters is the "safety lock button"

yeah, but you don't need the button.. I know a manual shift **** will work on the AT. All you have to do is push down on the whole **** to get it to do the same job as the button.. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried the nismo ****.

but no seriously im gonna see if i can find an easy way around this to use MT *****.
im going to experiment after i get my center console all back together and im about to go ahead and ditch my pa11-nis and install an avic-d3.
but if i can figure it out ill surely post pics etc.
i dont know if my idea will work until i try it. i've already located the shaft.
it's not hard to find.
but my bad i miss-read your post, sorry. will post if i find away around it. im sure there has to be.
