Talking New shift **** ideas

As is customary at Z club meets, we started talking about beer, cars, and women. One of the members has the ***** **** in his Z, I mention the beer handles, and the next thing you know we're talking about serious business.





I should try it out and see if the thread will work. If so, I'll take pics for the lulz.

Not to sound like an old cliche, but mine is way bigger than that.

you shouldnt do that as a shift ****.. i do know a few drifters that use them as their e-brake handles though and that is pretty sweet. i bet the cops would love to see that if you get pulled over though. nothin goes together like beer and driving!!

you can drill out the hole on the bottom and then hammer in a Metric nut, i did the following when installing a universal aftermarket shift ****:

I went to autozone and purchased 1 package with two each M10X1.25 nuts. while i was there i bought a M10X1.25 bolt as well - sorta long bolt...about 2-3 inches or so...

Got home and busted out my handy dandy welder and put the 2 nuts together on the bolt and welded them. Then i took it to the grinder and cleaned up the welds.. I left enough weldment on there that I got a rubber mallet and hammered the nuts inside the shaft of a shift ****. Now U can screw the shift **** on just like the OEM shift ****...

Damn, J. Thanks for the DIY tips. That's outstanding! Haven't really thought of it that way. I tried putting one on, but the hole was too small for the Nissan bolt.

open up the hole.......drill it up, if there is enough meat..or if its made from aluminum or steel......TAP it to the M10x1.25 you need...
