I can not makeup my mind about which knob I want! My Z is my first manual and I don't know why I just don't like the feel of the stock knob much. My options so far are:

-Tommy Kaira style ^

-NISMO Titanium

-Custom - (just won the auction $100) not sure if its worth it...Its definitely something you don't see often.:ugh2:
VERY RARE AND UNIQUE CUSTOM BURNT TITANIUM SHIFT KNOB FOR NISSAN 350Z & MAZDA MT | eBay


PLEASE HELP GUYS :eekdance:

I got the sweetknobs.com Stainless Steel one on order. It's well priced and looks very 'home made' which I dig.

haha, thanks mr. zman. :tup: i did try it out today, in fact. it's very good, the gates are crisp and short. the weight makes it easy and non clunky feel. :tup:

i should've just gotten this in the first place instead of going with that pw knob...

Does anyone know the weight of this shift knob? EDIT: Found it buried in PWJDMs sponsor thread, it's 508 grams. Here is the thread page for ya'll. http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...s-make-21.html

How about the ergonomics of the knob itself. Does it feel proper?

yes, the twm feels perfect. that was the main issue i had with the pw knob. it's a small diamer with spherical/egg-like top. if a ball shaped, it needs to be larger; otherwise the knob slips out of the hand going into quick gear changes into 2nd. there's a reason why knobs are less round at the top when narrow.

the big type-r knob is big + not round at top. makes it :tup: x2
