Also I saw you speaking of concave. The Forgestars come in a regular and a DEEP concave. Starting at 9.5 inches wide they go deep. I did 9 wide on the front which is reg then 11 wide rear which is deep.

mr.onzedge- glad to see that you received the knob. :tup:

hummmm... that is a gaping gap. :D hahaha yah, a few spacers would help greatly.

ive still not decided wat to do with mine. it was a tad smaller than what i was hoping for so might just sell it. :)

:iagree: I haven't put mine on yet for two reasons:
1) I don't have the o-rings. I know I can go out and get some, but I'm in no hurry.
2) It's def smaller than I thought it was going to be.

the thing is i already have the nismo titanium knob which i am pretty happy with but just felt it was kinda narrow when shifting into 2nd gear.

i was hoping to get a rounder (like the TWM big TypeR knob) size but oh well. it's no big deal. :) i'll decide wat to do later.

HAHA!! I was looking at this exact shift knob too! You know what they say about great minds!

Those are good MPG numbers. I don't get anything close to that, even on highway. Will do some day trips next week and see how I do on those.

You gotta keep your MPH down. If you can do 60MPH you'll get the best MPG!

Trust me, put it on and drive it. I thought the same thing and I cant explain how good it feels once you are actually using it.

Big improvement though :tup:

drove the z to work like always...i hate leaving it out in the open parking lot every day:(

p.s. does anybody else get excited when they see another z driving by them? maybe it just me and because there isn't that many z's in my area.(maybe 2 or 3 including mine)

Not too bad actually. Trucks around here spill a lot of rocks though, and 65 at almost any given time will have some type of debris all over the place especially with the bypass being constructed. I have a nice rock chip on my right side skirt that I need to touch up. :(

I am glad they finally finished the scuffed section between Sunset and Lincoln, that section used to rattle my fillings. If you need more than a touch up I have a local mobile guy that does good work.

Nice video and for a good cause. Love the soundtrack, my all time favorite group.

There are some places have them, around $1500 for 19X9 and 19X10. Has to find out about the offset, but the link I posted couple posts above is from this forum, and it tells us the offset too, so I think it should be ok.

BTW, one side question, I saw some of you guys, MrAlchemy, MrOnzedge have those full-metal shift knob. How do you shift after you've parked your car outside for a while???

Do you need this???

Drove the Z here in Stuttgart yesterday in the snow(more than 2 inches) no problemo what so ever. Slush, powder/wet snow all good. Using good common sense for the conditions and letting the car work for you is the way to go, as others have posted. BLIZZAKS RULE! :)

I've got this one guys!

Two things:
1) Covercraft Sun Shade: Window Sun Shields
2) Microfiber cloth placed deftly upon shift knob.

'nuff said! :tup:
