I wanted a new shiftknob for my rsx-s. I never got it, but it needed a nicer looking one. I love the shift **** on my Z. I havn't seen an aftermarket **** that looks as good. I was very impressed when I saw it for the first time. It's stylish and practical. The shape can't be topped IMO.
But, I like the stock **** too much to change.

I have to agree, I really like the factury shifter. But I'm also very interested in the first shift **** shown at the beginning of this thread. Does anybody have a picture of it installed on a Z to see how it looks?

A/T shift *****
razo and momo makes a/t shifters that will fit a z. just look for a **** that has no o/d button and it should fit. but just so you know, removal of the oem a/t shifter is kinda difficult.

Those ***** are fine but jump into your car after it has been setting in the sun for a few hours and tell me how the metal ***** feel. You are going to have a hard time holding onto the **** long enough to shift it will be so hot unless you use gloves. I am going to stick with the stock ****...

thats what I was thinking, just the little metal plate in the stock *** is enough to get me shifting with the finger tips not the palm.
I also dont know that the *** would flow as good as the stock does. seems like it would look out of place. I too would want to see a picture. not that it matters, the top one is like 100$ and the second one is just a little less. itd have to make the car ALOT better looking for me to consider buying it, and I dont think a **** can change enough; and no way could the ergonomics of it be better, looks uncomforable if anything.
Ive heard of shifters that are molded to your hands... that intrigues me.

The stock shift **** IS hard to beat. But I remember the leather **** on my 240SX started to peel after a while. So I'm getting a Nismo one and gonna save the stock one. No one else had that happen?

Yeah, I imagine that the leather on the **** will get pretty ratty after a while from the sun and sweat from your hands. My ideal choice would be a t-style shifter handle made from a black resin. I have always like the t-style over just a plain ****.
