What is everyone's oppinion on this topic? Is there a practical use to aftermarket shift ***** or are they simply a cosmetic piece?

Do differant types of ***** actually benefit in racing situations IE road racing?

What's the "best" **** out there for this kind of driving?

 

Different shift ***** are more for the feel I would say. The weighting and feel are both important but it's more a cosmetic or feel thing I think.

 

I agree with you.

What situations do you use a heavy **** and when do you want to use a lighter ****?

 

I love my Nismo ball shift ****..its light, so you need more mmph in the throw, BUT, the throw is a bit shorter, so you can really shift a bit faster. Plus it looks clean.

I didn't want to go the typical GT (rubber or Ti) route, hence the BB.

 

I recently ordered a ARC ball type shift ****. Its the nicest looking one in my opinion. Heres a pic of what they look like. It was on backorder for 3 weeks so I got 1 week of waiting left.

 

Oh, and yes its real Titanium.

 

That titanium one is gonna suck during summertime =)

 

Well, its called being a man and dealing with it.

 

Or using a sock/covering of some sort. I'm not looking towards my all black car being in the summer very much, but eh, I do have that windshield sun blocker dealy.

I currently have their .44 Magnum Weighted but I maybe switching to that pretty soon.

 

I don't really dig heavier ones..I dont know. I also get freaked out about unneeded stress on the tranny..i mean really, considering the quality of our trannies, do we really need anymore stress on them?!

 

Well, I combined mine with the Rogue Short Shifter (revised version) + Stillen Engine Dampener & I can honestly say that shifting feels 10x better than the OEM setup. Shifting feels very precise & there is no question what gear I'm in. I have an 03 & I haven't had any tranny or grinding problems yet. *knocks on wood*

But I agree. This is very subjective on how each individual wants their shifter to feel.

 

Yea, certainly is. I've heard horror stories of combining the Nismo ball with a short shifter, the horror being it being TOO short, so I think i'll stick with the stock setup with the ball.

 

purpose built ****... 350evo has a delrin **** that i love, you can get them in just about any color so give them a call see if they have any avl.

 

So when do I get to take a spin in your car real quick?

 

Maybe we can arrange some time during one of our future meets

 

Definitely a benefit with the right aftermarket ****.

The OEM was a little too clunky and cumbersome. Sometimes I had to think a little bit before I down-shifted or skip gears. My aftermarket feels a little more precise as far as the direction of the **** going in to each gate.

 

I love my nismo cf ****, it really hits ur eye when you walk in and when you shift gears, IT GIVES OU THE LIGHT!lol!

 

When is the next meet anyways? I know theres all these little ones going on, but when is the next real one?

 

I don't follow, how does it feel when you shift with the Nismo VS OEM?
