Default just got nismo ti gt shift ****

man... i didn't realize how small this thing was when i bought it. it is very nice and has a great feel, it also makes the throw feel a hare shorter. anyone else have this? any ideas on how to get the shift boot to stay up?

whats the weight saving from using Ti?
imo the weight saving is probably too minimal to make a difference and it can probably be made up by wearing a thinner pair of socks

i've wanted this shift **** for so long. IMO it's the only decent looking ****. can't wait to place my order!! i'm too afraid of taking off the stock one though, from what i've read...it almost seems like it's easy to twist out of place.

if u got an 2003 then:
take the shift assembly off ...
vice grip the **** and secure the other side with a stationary clamp
twist really really hard
and repeat if its not coming off

I like my Nismo ti-shifter. Was a little different compared to the stock version but definitely like it much better in my opinion.

let me know if you have any questions, ive done mine a few different ways but how i currently have it with that rubber finisher is my favorite

Depending on the spacer that might be a good idea. I saw that on another thread with some guy with a rubber gt **** and it looked terrible.

There is no weight saving, if anything you would want a little weight at the top of the shifter.
