For $450 buck that better be heated. Titanium gets really cold in the winter.

I've been thinking about this for a while - the manual Audi R8 gear knob has exactly the same knurling as the touring/GT interior Hvac controls and I think would look great - probably very expensive and not sure if the threading would be the same - sorry about the poor photoshop work

crash1369 02-08-2011 05:59 PM

Is that the actual size? It's like putting a mini-keg on your shifter, I don't like it but if you do start scouring the R8 boards I guess. Besides the shift pattern is wrong, not that it matters but it would annoy the crap out of me and would guarantee if anyone else ever tried to drive they would put it in the wrong gear... or snap that **** off trying to push it left and down :rofl2:

I have no idea what an R8 knob costs from the dealer, but to give some perspective my dealer told me $155 for the OEM knob. But with that perspective even the fancy imported ones aren't that expensive.

I just got this one. I matches the interior of the car with the red and black and I love the way it feels. I know it is not really the correct knob for our car but I really like it.

That knob looks really nice!

Anyone have this shift knob from Momentum Performance? It is made for the 350Z, but anyone know if it will it work for the 370Z?
Here is the description from their website: "The Momentum 350Z Shift Knob is machined from 6061 billet aluminum and then treated to an anodized black finish featuring an engraved six-speed shift pattern. The shift knob’s short throw improves the smoothness and authority of every gear change, and the knob’s shape fits deftly into the hand while adding a touch of class to the cockpit."

That's different. I like it. I hope it screws on properly to where it's tight and it's facing the right direction.

But if it's for a 350 it will fit a 370.

edub370 09-10-2011 05:57 PM

^ i kinda like it. wonder if it would sit totally straight

on aside note: what does everyone think of these super heavey weight shift knob. sure they make ur shift feel "smoother", but i also know that sometimes z owners have trouble finding a gear because our tranny's feel notchy. do you guys really think just having a heavier knob that is essentially forcing the car into gear faster is a good thing?

Im beginning to wonder if this super heavy shift knob fad is one that will turn out to be not so benificial for our cars in the long run.

VaGntlmn 09-11-2011 09:55 AM

^^ I just put on an Abrams M1 Stainless knob, about 460 grams; and I understand what you are saying.
IF it turns out to be bad for the transmission, then that will give me an opportunity to change 6th gear when I get it rebuilt!! :eekdance:

It only adds ease to the shift due to the weight and the center of gravity, It really doesn't force it faster it just requires less effort to do so which is why we all rave about how it makes.the experience better especially with the naturally rough transitions we have., I would doubt it adds any extra wear.

blox weighted shift knob ltd
 
Does anyone have pics of this knob on their 370z? I want to see what it looks like with the factory boot and how it sits. And on another note, what do you think about the blue chrome for a monterey blue Z? Yes I understand it is up to the person and their taste, just looking for opinions.

camposturtle 09-12-2011 06:27 PM

I just bought that exact Blox shift knob and it doesn't sit right, it didn't came with a base, so when I put it in the shift boot was sagging. I'm calling the guys at Blox tomorrow to see if they have a base to fix the problem.

SPOHN 09-12-2011 06:39 PM

That's another reason I love mine. I have felt many knobs (all jokes aside) and this is the best.

thanks for posting, hopefully they can help you clear it up. Can you please take a couple pics so I can see exactly what you are talking about. There may be a thread on here to help fix that. How does it feel shifting?

That is beautiful. Fits perfect in the Z. What knob is that? Weight? Price?

Thank you

Thank you

You can only get them from Forged Performance that I know of. Tell them I sent you if you call. Not listed on there site. You have to call. It's about a $115 maybe a little less. The weight not sure. But it has some weight to it. More than most other knobs. But that's another reason I like it.

Just installed a B&M SS and a MOMO King Satin shift knob. Heres what it looks like in my 40th.

moto_italia 09-28-2011 06:27 PM

^ Awesome looking! Where did you get the MOMO knob? :tup:

iridefast 09-29-2011 12:21 PM

Got it from a place called ltb autosports. They sell from a web site (dont remember it), and they also sell stuff on ebay. It only cost me around 50 bucks.

Raw_Shark 11-22-2011 09:11 AM

I changed my shift knob to this about a week ago. It's almost 1lb and feels great in the hand. I've since raised it about .5" and it's perfect now. It's the Moddiction Anvil 2 in textured black.

Look good :tup:

You should look up the e-brake adjustment in the DIY section to fix that.:tiphat:

This is the knob I think Im gonna be going with. In satin as well. Although the boot fits up to it like poop it seems. Looks like I may have to reconsider or find a boot fitment solution.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with that in the beginning as well. But I actually quite like it now. This pic has the spacer in the knob so it sits a bit higher. Without it, it sits very low to the boot. It gives it a nicer look, but then you can't wrap your hands around the knob without touching the boot, that's annoying. I am very happy with this Knob, the quality is great, and it is a lot heavier than it looks.

Same here, but the boot finisher is the one thing holding me back. I'm considering it in gun metal or brushed bronze.

I really want brushed bronze because it would match my wheels very well. I just dont know how it would look in the interior.
