I want this shifter ... and I am almost certain it will be ok with the JDM Z..

BJ -- is there any way to confirm this ?

I asked Ben at Rogue... and this was his response...

Honestly, I'm not sure the differences between the US spec 350Z and the Japanese version.

If you can do some research, and let me know, that would be great.

I got the shifter last week, was planning on installing it today but ended up going to Hakone for a Fairlady meet.. I'll let you know if its compatible once I try to put on..

I think with a shift **** such as the NISMO GT Titanium this setup would be about perfect. The shift **** itself has shortened the shift length on my Z.

its a DIY type of thing. very straight forward took about 30 minutes.. compared to stock its feels great, really makes the shifting a lot more confident, you know when you are in gear compared to stock.. it does require a little more force but nothing extreme to get it into gear. I would definitely get this upgrade if I had to do it again..

I like the 1 that B&M is making it works perfectly and has no vibration and it comes all assembled
