What the heck, where did you get that shift knob? Thirdgearperformance told me they sold out

Red__Zed 05-31-2011 11:24 PM

looks good. how does it feel?

nguy3nt0mmy21 05-31-2011 11:44 PM

I got it from passwordjdm.com very quick shipping got it right after the weekend when I ordered on a Friday.

And it feels great! It gives me a better grip and response when I shift.

Just got the black one myself. Good to see.... looks great. Is it a screw on install? Any issues w/ fitment?

when you screw off the stock knob there should be a metal piece, your going to have to take it off (slides right off) and it should be a direct screw on after that.

looks good man.

akong51 06-01-2011 01:12 PM

Looks good. Also, great choice with the delrin...my Nismo gets freaking hot if it sits out on warm days. :cool:

KamiSpeed 06-01-2011 02:22 PM

Just got mine as well, it feels so much better than the stock "baseball" shifter. I ordered mine from Password directly as well and it came in a few days.

Yeah yours look great what color is that? the silver or titanium?

svmtbman 06-01-2011 10:56 PM

Silver, I thought about the delrin but was concerned about the weight.

TypeOne 06-02-2011 10:16 AM

I've had mine on since Christmas... I still enjoy it.

nguy3nt0mmy21 06-02-2011 12:56 PM

looks great do you have a titanium base?

Nissanboy 06-10-2011 11:43 AM

Is it me or is the delrin shift knob seem much smaller in person than in pics? If it is just me, do one of you mind measuring how long the shift knob is?

edub370 06-10-2011 03:09 PM

Has anyone ever gotten the stock knob off without destroying it??

Had the dealership loosen the shift knob for me :tup:

So whats the weight like compared to the stock shift knob? Heavier? Lighter?

IMO, i think the stock knob is little heavier. but once you have it on, you cant really tell.

when i got mine, i thought it was a joke. but once i installed it, it look taller and bigger then the stock knob. If i remembered correctly, i measured the knob with stock and they were the same height, but the stock one was fatter.

Yep! I thought it would go nice with the other silver accents inside. The black one looks nice too though.

I used my man hand grip and twisted it off... not a scratch on it.

i was just prepared to order one of these, since i had to pull my trans out today i was expecting to have to destroy my stock knob. well, it just unthreaded and turned right off, no problem at all. i think everyone else must be crazy!!! :)

nguy3nt0mmy21 06-11-2011 09:32 PM

Some people are blessed.:shakes head::icon17:

I see, yeah so I'm not crazy haha.
It does look better when installed :tup:

nguy3nt0mmy21 06-14-2011 10:48 AM

I wish they made the washer thing on top of the knob made out of derlin, it was extremely hot in a hot day.

phunk 06-22-2011 03:00 PM

Put my trans back in the other day. Here is the silver with titanium colored base.

Have a quick question, I'm looking to buying a used z, and the prev owner installed a cheap aftermarket knob. It's the screw on type that's held by Allen screws. One thing I noticed was the shift boot was hanging off the knob, how do you get it back on the bottom of the knob?

Also I was hearing some rattling from the shifter when going into high rpms, might be from the loose shift boot.

sold out ?
