Zele: Shift knob for Nissan 370Z Z34 12.29.08

18rgcelica73 · 01-12-2009, 10:16 PM

In Fresno it gets a little hotter than So Cal so even with the cloth or something covering it you can't touch it for about 15 minutes while the A/C is on.

Yeah, my friend used to keep a beanie on his shifter in his Z28. It was a metal 8-ball... At the time, I didn't drive stick, so when I went to drive his car, I took the beanie off not knowing why it was there in the first place. I grabbed the stick to put it in 1st and **sizzle** that Freaking HURT!

If you guys are worried about the knob being really hot during the summer, just put a sock on top of it. It seems to work for me. I have a set of titanium, aluminum, and stainless steel shift knobs. (I have a friend who runs a machine shop, so we made these for fun)

i have a arc TI knob on my G37.. and even in the 110 degree summer heat it was fine.. remember titanium reacts to heat much differently..

Kind of defeats the purpose of getting a good looking knob for it to always be covered with a sock. Leather = the way to go for the valley of the sun.
