I'm looking for the blox 490le ***** installed on the Z. Can't seem to find much on that. I'm thinking about getting one soon so anyone that has one installed, pics and your opinions would be appreciated!

 

yes im in for pics as well idk what size to get evasive motorsports offers 10x1.5mm and a 10x1.25mm and idk what that means and what to get

 

^^^ thats the thread pitch. nissan is 10x1.25mm

 

I just happened to put one on yesterday as a spur-of-the-moment purchase while at the parts store for some other stuff. I got it because it matches my Agency Power muffler

Sorry for the crappy phone pic




When I first installed it the shift boot was super low leaving about 1.5" of the shaft exposed, it looked gross.. After about 20 minutes of messing around I used the stock plastic piece in the shift boot, a zip tie and a piece of tubing that fits over the shaft to hold the boot up closer to the ****.

I'm still not 100% happy with how it fits, so I ordered a B&M short shift and hopefully that will drop it down a bit and then I can mess with the shift boot to make it look better.

 

^^^ looks pretty good to me. But yeh, a better pic would be nice. I thought you bought the gunmetal? Looks like the neo in that pic. How does it feel compared to the stock ****? And by the way, I heard horror stories about the B&M short shifters...

 

Yah, it's the neo, matches my Agency Power muffler

I like the feel so far, a good bit heavier than stock.

The short shift should be here Friday, I'll let you know how it goes..

 

I have the Blox 490 **** installed with a shift **** base collar from Zeetoyz. I purchased the **** and wasn't happy with the look (due to the gap) until I got the finisher. Now I like it.

I think the collar was somewhere around $10 plus shipping. Worth the money IMHO. I painted mine black to match my **** and it has held up well so far.

 

have the link to the collar by any chance?^^^

 

Installed gunmetal one on my car over the weekend. Agree with needing the **** base collar. Picked mine up at home depot.

F'n sweet shifter. The gears just go right in and feels just right. Had the nismo before and there is some effort there. This just drops right in. When I get home tonight I will post pix of it. But again with the collar it is definitely bad a$$. Gunmetal is the only color to get.

 

There is a good thread on here that covers this

You can also google zeetoys

*edit: I also agree with gidiup above. There's a good weight to the shifter now which provides a smoother shift feel

 

Is that a reflection or do these ***** have a logo on them?

(the very top looks like it has something red, logo maybe?)

 

sorry for the shi@@ty cell pics, cant see it in the pics but the blox logo is etched on the top.

 

^What finisher did you use under the ****?

I always wondered how I'd tighten the nut under the **** with that finisher there..?

 

Thats just a little bit too shiny for me with a near stock interior, maybe it's just the picture just making it seem that way though.

 

Reminds me of one of these:

 

Not that shiney in person.. Sorry have been super busy. Will post a pic today.

 

Can you post one where you can see the logo? It looks red in the pictures, im thinking of getting one but IDK about the red letters, maybe if they could be painted black? How do you get the locking nut on underneith the boot and tighten it?

 

Here's the one in my car.

 

As you can see its not that shiney. Works with black interior well. I've never seen one with red lettering. Mine is engraved on it and the color overstates the engraving. The nut is just underneath the ball. I got a collar at home depot and installed it over the boot. If you want to install the nut under the boot you need to pop the boot off and over the stick and put the nut on under and reinstall the boot.

 

does it get hot sittin in the sun all day?
