I kid I kid, enjoy the mod.

no, that's not why I changed it... I did it because the OEM one is big and ugly... this one sits alot lower.

test fitted the GT-R knob today fits perfectly check out the pics, just needs fabraction if you want it to sit lower, but if ur happy with how it sits that this knob will fit perfectly right on in a matter of minutes :D

I looks very cool, if i do the gtr shifter and a nice boot i won't have to get it to sit low.

I'm more confused now, why do you need a shift boot on an auto? Wouldn't that block out the shift pattern if you take your car for valet or if someone else is driving? I can understand the shift knob though I guess, but the boot kills me.

Here is a pic of an auto with a boot, it's not needed it will just dress up the area if you don't want to cut the shaft to make it lower. If someone else drives your car and doesn't know the auto gear pattern of P-R-N-D, then they shouldn't be driving at all.

I like the one with the Razo knob, looks classy.

KaienZ34 07-06-2011 09:22 AM

That's a G not a Z but it does look good.

EYE ESS 07-06-2011 12:58 PM

Thats an aftermarket boot on the G as well?

Gear display is shown digital on the lower portion of the tach P-R-N-D and the gear you are in is shown in manual mode. I am thinking about installing a boot just to clean up the look of the shifter. The giant circle with small selector slot just looks ugly to me.
