It's the Password JDM version 2. Heavy at ~400 something grams. Engraved with the shift pattern on top. Fits my hand nicely.

Is there a black and red shift knob to match the 40th interior? I like the Password JDM but I don't want the silver color.

stockies are quite nice.... metal ones get too hot in my tropical climate...

Yep stock is not bad at all.. I'm currently using the PWJDM (v2?) knob. Its pretty good for the price. :tup:

Im on stock now but I like the TWM Shift Knobs...

yah, im still thinking about swapping mine out to the biggie TypeR in black some day. :yum: but not yet.

team voodoo pearl FTW!

matches the interior PERFECT on these z's

I'm going to have to go with the Password JDM or stock. The PJDM has great weight! Nismos looks cool, but I think a round top shifter is much more ergonomically correct and comfortable.

is there anything that's similar to the shape of the stocks? I like the shape, but... it's stock.

i want to compliment someone's knob, but that would be just too wierd... :ugh2: :wtf2:

well.... which knob are you talking about.... :ugh2:

:bowrofl: :bowrofl:

I have a TWM and love it. It sat a little low and I have recently added a spacer to set it at the perfect height for me. The knob is satin and spacer is SS but I really like the contrast. I can always have them both refinished to match later on.

you can compliment my knob anytime, I don't mind.

isn't that difficult to get a grip on though? being right up against the boot? idk, I've got big hands...

Just don't talk with your mouth full -- bad manners. :icon17:

It was, I kept grabbing the boot but now it has been raised about an 1.5"s and its perfect for me. I dont have any pics of it with the spacer and wont for some time but the nice thing abou the TWM knobs is you can set it at the perfect height for you. It took some playing around with but now the height seems to be more natural and its very easy to shift. Plus in that pic i actually had the boot installed wrong, I had the plastic ring on upside down and it pushed the top of the boot up higher so the neck on the knob was covered up. When I finally realized my mistake, it sat a lot better.

Fan of the Zele, for those with big hands/long fingers this is your shift knob. As wide as the TK shift knob if you are a top shifter but thick enough for the pistol grip shifters as well, just gets hot as hell during the summer so get some driving gloves.

:bowrofl: Tommy !

quick question about shift knobs for a nooooooob

alright, so I know that a short shifter will quite clearly, shorten the throw, making it faster to shift gears because there's less travel. I've then read about various shift knobs, of varying weight, and how people comment on the different feel/feel of throw. for reference, how heavy is the stock Z shifter to an aftermarket product, and how exactly (or as close as possible) does it change shifter feel?

+1........ :iagree: I like the CF one as well. If I was going to put CF, then I would go with the CF nob. Since I really do not have any plans to-do so, then this one is it for me too.

i BELIEVE (someone correct me if im wrong) that the stock z shift knob is about 188 grams. when i switched to a team voodoo pearl knob (175 grams) i noticed that the difference in feel not because the weight of the shifter changed, but because the shift height and the knob material changed. the metal knob definately makes the shifts "feel" more direct. that, coupled with the shift knob height being reduced by about 1/2" really made for a much more aggressive feeling when i am running thru gears.

its little mods like that that will seperate the feeling of driving your car from the feeling of driving any stock z

Password JDM makes a Derlin knob (which is black) which I think can come with the red bottom ring.

Love my Forged Shift Knob!

I like any shift knob that doesn't have the potential to turn my hand into BBQ pork chops.

Granted it is a little warm in the summer months.
