Yeah, Ebay.
…It’s really cool but it took me a while to install it. If you’re getting one you’re gonna have to make some cuts and tiny holes to put it on that black spiky ring under the silver one. Also remember to stretch it. OEM boot is over an inch wider then NISMO and that makes installation harder.
Good luck,

Thanks "2003z" -I just recieved the **** today, since someone parted with their Z. I'm loving the clear powder coat you did.
Review:
I don't like to repeat what others have said but this **** is awesome. The throws are more precise, so you know exactly what gear you're flicking into without all the notch from the clumsy OEM ****.
Although the OEM **** was an excellent ****, this one is a little heavier so you don't get that offbeat vibration when it is in gear. Switching gears now is a flick of the wrist instead of rowing and tugging. The mass of the **** just throws the stick into gear with just enough inertia so you don't have to put in the effort of thrusting it in.
I love wedging the middle and ring finger in between the **** and finisher. It feels natural and comfortable with where the height of the **** is positioned. I was always accustomed to holding the lower neck of the OEM ****, so the custom finisher was a welcoming feature.
Enough praise...
Not an issue but I still have yet to park the car in direct California sunlight to see if it's hot to the touch.
Cons: If you love big *****, like the OEM one, you'll probably consider this thing to be too small. If you're on the fence, then fifteen minutes of driving and you'll get use to it.
Thumbs up.

hey shariff! i understand some people enjoy the heavy feeling shift ***** for throw purposes, but would you consider makeing the same shift **** out of a plastic? I am a fan of your shift **** style! however for double clutching etc i prefer a light **** to feel what the tranny wants to do! I hope you consider this idea. Thanks again!

Judging by your question ... you will not be disappointed.

Did you check the website? They do sell out quickly, and being a custom/semi custom job, it may take a while to get into stock. Leave a message and Sharif will get back with you. Or PM.

Yeah I checked the site. Does it state somewhere whether it's in stock or not? With it being custom I'd rather wait til a new batch of it comes in rather than it being on back-order. I did send him a PM, thanks.
