:tup:

Absolutely! Great taste!~
Yeah Vivid said they have like 7-9 scheduled to come in early august.

I currently have the black Nismo knob which feels good to grip but I always go to palm so I wanted to try something different.

So for a guy who typically instinctively uses a palm grip and doesn't have giant manhands or sausage fingers what would be the best recommendation out of these choices?

LOL thanks I'll add it to the list as the comedy option.

You know, I GISed for pics of funny shift knobs and couldn't find anything more ridiculous except for one which I am NOT going to post here.:rofl2:

i can only imagine what u found lol.

but to add to your list of awesome shift knobs, u should throw the team voodoo pearl in there

snea 07-28-2012 04:14 PM

I ended up going with the Fat Boy. The Voodoo was very tempting given the price, but this wasn't too bad either, at least compared to the TWM. Just installed earlier today. I also reused the rubber finisher from the Nismo knob. I didn't try removing the Nismo finisher so I'm not sure if it would look better with or without it. I think it looks good, and it definitely feels NICE. I haven't actually driven with it yet (rain rain rain rain) but am looking forward to it!

ive owned lots of knobs and tried them over the years on many different cars, but i keep coming back to type-r and desert eagle style knobs for ergonomics. if youre getting the type-r style knob for your z, definitely get the big type-r knob.

i must have overlooked, but is there a link to who sells these?

My mistake. I thought you were looking for the PWJDM knobs.

Is this what you're looking for?

I think TWMperformance makes some super clean shift knobs ... and multiple color options.

I had one on my 350z. Best shift knob on the market IMO.

birdmanx1 08-25-2012 09:42 PM

The Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi is without any doubt one of the best knob out there.

Does anyone have any experience with these knobs?

"Limited Series" Electric Blue Type-R Shift Knob

Does it work with the reverse lock-out?

Joe@ZSpeed 10-28-2012 09:07 PM

I run these in both my Z's and love them. Just about 1/2 lb and feel great in the hand. They come in matte black also.

These have a very cool feature to lock the knob down also, They have a internal set screw so you can set where it locks down tight to adjust height and stopping point.

I don't see why it wouldn't. I have their round 490 LE one and love the way it feels

May I ask what's wrong with the stock one?

IMO, only the weight. I wish it was 300g heavier.

WC Latheworks Hybrid knob. Had one in my WRX and loved it so much I got it again in black for the Z.

go sit in a car with a metal knob and run through the gears. shift feel is more direct. the stock one isn't terrible, but can definately be improved on

nothing really wrong with it, we just like to - personalize and accessorize

I love my pw:jdm knob. Feels great. And like others said it feels a lot better on shifts versus the thick and heavy stock knob.

cooltoy 10-29-2012 12:31 PM

I like the feel of leather. I may have a fetish.

It is lightweight and is not weighted, but does not transfer heat from the exhaust/transmission like some billet shift knobs do and never get hot sitting in the sun if it is left outside.

It's funny, but I agree. I've been having a hard time finding a weighted leather wrapped shift knob that i like and I don't have the patience to weight one myself. The metal ones look great, but I get tired of roasting my hand on metal shifters in the summer.

cooltoy 10-29-2012 04:52 PM

These may be the answer.

I've found similar knobs made by Momo and Razo and most of them clock in between 100 - 200 grams. At that weight I'd rather stick with the stock knob.

bdub561 10-29-2012 07:47 PM

Yeah, i think stock knob is aroud 220g. Id like one around 500 and i have my eye on a couple. Might end up just paying $150 and getting a TWM type-r

They weigh 350g. Come in blue, red, silver and wood grain.

The blox 490 series is 490g, lol. Got mine for just $60

Where did you find the weight? I can't find a single link that lists the weight and I've been looking pretty hard for the last couple of hours.

I assume that is in grams.
