I like the first oval one. How much do these weigh?

I dont have weights yet... but they will be light since they are titanium.

They are also 2" in diameter.

anything for auto's.................:yum:

We have a project going on right now for those ;)

How about a ball type knob with a small riser on the bottom just to bring it up from the shifter boot a bit?

Also love the Zele shifter knob shape....

My favorite is the first one, props to you guys for setting such an aggressive price point!

burnt round. FTW

yah, those oval ones look good.

looks good mike

Are these actual titanium, or are they aluminum?

Sub $125?? Count me in. Round iridescent blue please

I am waiting on verification from the manufacturer.

round ones weigh 255 grams and tall ones weigh 235 grams

how much did the nismo titanium weight again? :confused: that's wat i have now.

If there is anything for auto's im in

Titanium shift knobs are generally much heavier than other materials.

actually Ti is a lighter metal than aluminum or steel... If a Ti knob is heavier its because its counter weighted or not Ti... Ti is chosen for its lightness properties.

Depending on the alloy, titanium is 40% less dense that most steel alloys. However if you have a solid or semi-solid titanium shift knob, it's going to be heavy. It's just like the old Spoon titanium shift knobs that were offered for Hondas, as well as the OEM titanium shift knob available from Honda as an option for the S2K. Those knobs are not light and if you look inside, it's all titanium with no separate core or sleeve.

Most aftermarket shift knobs are aluminum with a steel counterweight, which make them heavy. A solid titanium shift knob is also going to be heavy.

True... it is going to depend on the grade of metal... I will have to check and see what grade these are. They weigh about a 1/5 pound and I think the Zele one weighs about 1 pound...

In my experience I like heavier knobs

You don't want to make a shift knob lighter... that's not an area that I would shave weight from. A lighter shift knob will carry with each movement less kinetic energy / momentum, making it harder to engage the next gear and utilizing more input from the driver. A heavier gear knob will cause the shifter to "fall in place" easier which will give you smoother gear changes with less effort from the driver.

I like the teal one :)

What is the diameter on the round ones? if the dia. is at least 2.25" I am in.

They are atleast 2" in diameter... same size as would be ARC and similar shift knobs

:iagree:

who wants one?!?! great stocking stuffer

I like the burnt finish round ball! How can I buy one?

I can add your name to the list for the GB or you can PM me and buy at list price.

Mike :tup:

GB Pricing Added! :tup:

Bump!

Who wants these? The GB is giving you Free upgrades to get a burnt finished or one of the anodized finishes!!!

How much does the Nismo GT Titanium weigh? Trying to get a comparison. As I currently have it...

not sure...
