    grow a left leg and a clutch pedal ;) jk

    i'm liking that shifter. only thing it might be better to have 300ZX on it instead of nissan which is a little generic IMO.

    better yet, have a 5 speed H pattern to keep plod happy during road side inspections AND a Z letter somewhere for good measure.

    price wise, i think it's more than reasonable. you go down to ricebarn and they have much worse shit going for similar price.

    Thanks mate
    and I like yours
    non-concentric logos like "NISSAN" necessitate this extra piece inside, otherwise I'd just screw on
    I am going to work on a variant of this inside piece so that it'll work for non-threaded
    gear sticks too
    :)

    Looks very nice Nick! Well done, and you should be proud of your product here. Like Rollin said earlier, it's great seeing some aussie initiative for local A/M parts! :zlove:

    I think maybe some more photos would be nice to see aswell, mainly of how the boot sits under it. Like what was mentioned earlier it's hard finding a good A/M gear knob that the stock shifter boot still looks good with, but in your photos they still look tops, so maybe some more piccies posted up here would be a good help.
    I personally am a bit of a pussy, so i'm happy running with my 2k knob, but i know there are many that are keen for a bit more of a hard ass look that can also handle resting their hand on a heater element. lol.

    Kudos for your work! :zlove:

    I have never been into knobs, but thats one fine knob.
    I would go it but i couldnt justify the price.

    hmm hard to choose... h pattern would make sense but having 300zx or maybe even fairlady somewhere on there would look good.

    then again, even a blank one would look good, something bout the black chrome makes it sexy. also, make a knob cover hehe.

    How about personalizes forum names on them ?. They look pretty dam good. I think the price is resonable as it appears to be top notch.

    this forum really does turn the best of us gay.

    but i vote 300zx instead of nissan. and somehow get the boot to go into it, much like the 2k spec how it covers to top of the boot.

    lol

    I'm pretty sure this part should fit all Nissan 5 speed shifters actually, the majority of them that I've seen are all M10 x 1.25...

    Spot on. This will suit pretty much any nissan.
    As for the customised "300ZX" ones or personalised named ones, i can't imagine it being a viable option getting just one off's of these done. the "NISSAN" ones would be able to be produced in a larger quantity to suit most Nissan manual vehicles and thus helping with a lower price.

    (please correct me if i'm up the wrong path though Mgatrn)
