My NISMO 370Z S-Tune - Platinum Graphite

it comes with this rubber ring - actually I was under the impression you put the ring under the shift boot leather, and the knob goes on top, so they meet eachother and the boot sits flush.

You can install it either way, However I recommend the ring on the outside for grip and sizing. Otherwise your hand will be partially grabbing the boot while shifting. It also looks better IMO on the outside. I could easily see the boot leather wearing quickly if you opt it underneath the boot. The boot, ring, and shifter sit flush under either (look/feel) method you choose. Try both to see what one you like better if you go with the titanium shifter.

How's the weight of the titanium shifter? I like a weighted feel. The factory ball design is a nice feel shape wise, but it is very light.

More weight but far from heavy... Feels much sleeker than the factory knob by far...

Added high flow cats this past Saturday. Love the aggressive sound and added power, too bad it's been raining since Sunday and I won't drive it again until the sun comes back out!
