Default Short Shifters

I have been thinking about getting the nismo short shifter. The reason why is becuase i love the feel of the rx-8 short shifter. Just i want to get a good one for my car that isnt going to rattling or making noises like i have been hearing threw all the thread i have read.

1. nismo
2. i heard about the evo
3. i think it called rogue

Tell me what you guys think of these(being the poeple that have them).

Your help would be much apperciated in my choice down the line in the next couple of months.

Stillen's is also excellent, I have it in my own car. Completely silent, but not adjustable

Yup, all our lights are HID . The prices start at $200 and go up depending on what you want.

stillen you can look up on their site...we don't stock it (have to order it). NISMO is on our site

there is no difference in material - both are stainless

http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ne&prodid=2828

we have the NISMO one in stock (1 left)

Every time you misspell a word or use bad grammar...god kills a kitten. So do the world a favor and use spell check.


I'm sorry but that kind and amount of abuse to the English language is embarrassing. Maybe its the fact that my gf is a senior majoring in English..and has a crazy compulsive habit of correcting bad grammar that may be rubbing off on me..but this just infuriates me.

I think a lot of people just write how they speak...bc most of us don't speak properly either. But anyone know the answer to my question?

If you come from the domestic car scene then I know what you're talking about.

I've seen pictures of aftermarket shifters for the Z/G, none seem to have the "stops" that other aftermarket shifters have (such as Pro-5.0 or Steeda). I don't even think the factory shifter has them built in. But I could be wrong.

example: "stops" aka bolts in the ring
