Need a new shift knob but not sure what to get
 
Currently have the Nismo titanium/carbon shifter but after 3 years of use, the top is worn and scuffed.

Was thinking about going with the momo airleather knob:
Nissan 370Z MOMO Race Shift Knobs

Any experience with momo shifters? Any other suggestions?

love my forged shift knob!

dmhenderson 12-26-2012 10:42 AM

I had the nismo chrome knob before the titanium and it gets extremely hot in the summer. Don't think I'll go that route again although I'll check out the other forged products to see what's out there.

Where can I buy one?

Proper+ Shop — Shift Knobs

Uber flamboyant should suit you well :P

dmhenderson 12-26-2012 07:07 PM

The nismo leather one looks nice. Also a third of the price of some of the others.

dmhenderson 12-26-2012 07:08 PM

Some of the other ones are a little too uh..."sparkly" for me.
Edit: Can't buy it on principle. Description reads, "Nismo Leather Shiftknob, buy it and become a BAD A$$ instantly"

~BAD A$$~

lol

Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi Shift Knob Universal

Holy hell

The Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi shift knob is the best money you could spend on any shift knob. The difference with the stock is night & day. I haven't missed any gear since; moreover, it sits lower so it kinda acts a short throw shifter.

eastwest2300 12-26-2012 08:06 PM

That Tommy K is very very pricey, its very clean too.

FairladyZ 12-26-2012 08:14 PM

Hebi bebi is ridiculous.

Smother shifts, it feels shorter cause its lower, the weight makes a difference

dmhenderson 12-26-2012 08:25 PM

Ok well I can buy one for a mere $279.99. I'll shop around a bit I guess.
I'd have to wait a few weeks to do that and never ever tell my girlfriend how much it cost*


*ever

If you bring her to a FFX meet, we give you our MAZOC promise to never mention it. :icon17:

We have an agreement. I don't have to go to church and she doesn't have to go to "car things".

Gotta stand out from the rest :tup:

dmhenderson 12-26-2012 09:48 PM

Any interest in my old nismo carbon/titanium shift knob? It's a little worn around the top but the nismo printing is still crystal clear and it looks nice in the car.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow morning - figured I'd offer it here before I post a FS thread in the parts forum.

dmhenderson 12-26-2012 09:49 PM

Honestly, I have no idea why the top looks worn either. I don't wear a ring so it's not metal on metal scuffing. I wouldn't think my hands are enough to scuff it up but who knows. Might be able to be buffed out now that I think about it.

Edit: lol I just suggested that you buff my knob.

MyKindaGuise 12-26-2012 11:55 PM

Meh I could be mildly interested actually

Not sure if you had seen the Password JDM shiftknobs.

dmhenderson 12-27-2012 09:11 AM

Yep actually one of the first sets I looked at. Going with the TK knob though.

PW370z 12-27-2012 10:49 AM

Check out this thread. More ideas:

TK knob purchased. The sales rep tells me that pretty much the entire Japanese automotive industry is shut down for Salon for the next two weeks. Quoting 1-3 months for delivery. God bless JDM.

$250 and you pay for domestic shipping. Not a bad deal.

How has nobody suggested TWM to this kid yet? All the ricer JDM ones are being thrown out :-/

dmhenderson 12-27-2012 06:58 PM

Yeah I did look at those. There was a guy selling the piston model in the FS forum.

I went with the TK knob though. General consensus seems to be that it's worth it.
