I wonder if anyone can post a pic of their Nismo knob set up with ring under the boot. I guess it won't take me long to unscrew it and pop it on the bottom.



I didn't even know that the Nismo titanium knob came with two options? Or is it just a matter of one being older than the other? So do I have the "good" version then? ;)

How are these on really hot days? I had a machined metal knob on my daily driver before, and for the first 5 minutes on a hot, sunny day, I screamed like a biatch every time I had to shift gears. I used to jump from 1st to 4th gear to minimize the pain.

Yeah I liked that look too, but I read(heard) that it may be a little "lighter" than the titanium? I may be wrong.

On a side note, the shift patterns on the top of the knob (the one you adhere) are laser etched/engraved, correct? In other words, I won't have to worry about my thumb wearing out the pattern over time?

the paint inside the etching wears away slightly after some use

so the final answer about this titanium shift knob not getting that hot and is bearable to touch during the summer days is true or false.....

thats my only worry about getting aftermarket metal shiftknobs. i dont want to deal with burning my hand.
