I looked into it, but I have seen only like one other member on here who had the NRG hub, and I don't see their products being sold much here, so I figured I'd try their hub and test it and post results later on. It's well made for a knock-off. Comes pre-wired for horn just like the real-deals, comes with grounding rings, all the bolts, tools needed for install, etc. It latches on tight. No play at all in the steering wheel after it latches. It only latches in one spot, so no way to screw it up. Over-all, it's good for me and what I need it for. Later on I may just go with the Works Bell, but I figured I'd just give this one a try and see how it is.

It's definitely going to be abused later on. Like I said, it's damn tight when it's on, but I'll definitely post some results and possibly a review after I get some road use out of it. When you pull on the fins to put it in the release position, it's a bit hard to pull. It could definitely use some breaking in. I oiled the ***** (lol) and it helped a bit, but it definitely needs to be broken in.

Stole them for $600 shipped in the MP with only 500 miles. They look brand new! I think they are made by someone else more well known and branded differently?

omg, how did you get those for that CHEAP!? I mean are those decent coilovers? I bought ksport coilovers (total crap) for my maxima back then, paid about $1k. Prob the worst set of coilovers I have ever come across...

Got this a few days ago... just fitted it last night (quick pic):


First impression: very heavy @ half a kilogram! Extremely precise feel when changing gears, no vibrations and fits the hand just great.

Also got a 'Stage 0' fuel return system from CJ Motorsport, very decent parts on it.

Thanks to Adam @ Z1!

^^that **** was one of my favorite mods on my Z. Honestly. I almost like it as much as the Volks and LMGT4's. I have to agree, the vibrations are significantly less too.

Looks like the turtle is a little crooked though, might just be the pic.

It is great, totally! The more I drive around, the more I like its feel.

I shifted into 5th to take the pic, I guess that is why it looks a bit crooked.

I might be the only person with that shift **** who doesn't give a rats *** what direction the turtle is facing. All I care is that it is on snug.
