Here's my TWM weighted shift knob in Satin finish w/ gear pattern. Phone Pic!

^That really seems to match the metallic interior trim very nicely, I saw it in person and it looks great in my opinion.

Here is my Nismo shift knob installed on an AMS short shifter. Weight is nice and goes well with interior. The only complaint I have is it gets a little slippery sometimes

stock is way to go... btw... imagine livin in a place where it gets really cold or really hot... like i remember when it was 102+ omfg... i dun even wanna think if the shift knob was metal... lol or if it was hella cold? lol gg

I have the same one kevr6 has (same color and such) and live in Houston, plenty of 100+ days and really I never have much issue with it. And if I crack my window even .1" like I normally do during the summer the shift knob feels great after it sits in the sun all day. I also have 30% window tint all around (minus the front).

Does anyone know if the 6spd shifter knob from the g37 will fit the 370?

i think so. i'm sure someone on here has it.

i'm gonna say with 90% certainty they are. everywhere i look, aftermarket knobs are sold for the 370z and the G37 interchangably.

I live in Hotlanta and haven't had an issue.
Stock sucks because of how lite and cheap it is. The weighted knob helps with the driveline vibration and also smooths out the shorter shift throws w/ a short shifter. The satin finish feels good to the hand also!!

I believe they are the same, same transmission right

WestCo Scott · 12-15-2010, 02:39 PM

They are the exact same thread pitch from 350z - g37s!

This is my preferred ball style knob. But not for the Z:

AutoExe Carbon Shift Knob with TWM SS

I like it a lot. The only complaint I have is I think its a little too skinny, I found out I prefer rounder knobs. But its a great shift knob with excellent quality and its easy to adjust.

WestCo Scott · 12-16-2010, 04:10 PM

^ Cool button

Figured I would update this, I just got my shift knob from Tommy Kaira.

I've found a few pictures but there's really nothing about these written anyplace, at least not in English. To be honest, I had pretty low expectations when I ordered it... It's just a shift knob right, but that probably helped allot

I have nothing bad to say about it, OK well except for maybe that stupid phrase on the top but oh well. It fits perfectly in your hand and the shape gives it a great feel and grip. That weird turtle thing does stick up a little, but that gives it some texture and certainly doesn't bother me any. I don't know what they coated it with but it feels suspiciously smooth, almost slippery even, but again you do have a solid grip on it. I don't think you hand slipping off would be an issue due to the shape, turns out that probably won't matter anymore anyway though.
The weight is good and it does make a bit of a difference in the feel of the *****. It also fits perfectly with the shift boot, as you can see. Maybe even better then the stock knob, all I did was screw it on there are no extra washers or anything the boot just fits.

This was a rare purchase I have actually been completely satisfied with, the price isn't even a big factor. That damn Stereo cost 1ox as much and I was not nearly as happy with it when it was done. (It still really isn't finished I just don't feel like ******* with it anymore)
