I ordered a short shifter and new leather boot, so I want a shift knob thats not all wore out. The stock one I have is completely worn out and looks crappy.

btw: i have the black R-speed knob, i like the feel alot except after its been in the sun all day, then its hot as hell.the factory shift knob is also surprisingly heavy... this one is light.

nismo shift knob. 35 bucks plus shipping. http://www.nismo.us was the site i picked it up from, but it looks like nissan has since bought the site and you can't get that part from them anymore. Sad.

I bought my greddy metal shift knob (the bulbous one) for 30 bucks. It's very weighty and I love the way it fits right in the cup of my palm.

oem s14 shifter i like it. its not the prettiest thing but the right height could be alil heavier and i'm a cheap a$$ i don't wanan pay more than 30 bucks for a shifter got a nifty chrome shifter with red leds from autozone sits way up on it and looks liek caca thinking my dad might be able to make me one at his metal shop all i'd have to do is find the right size thread tapper and alil cnc machining

I caught a 25th anniversary Maxima shift knob on ebay and it fits pretty good. The main problem is that our shift boot has that ring on top that meets the stock knob and gives it a real slick shape. I've since replaced that boot and did away with the ring thing and just put a zip tie on the underside so you can't see it and it meets the Maxima shift knob quite nicely now.

You might run a search on ebay to see if you can find something unique like that.

I'm a big fan of the Razo RA25...black chrome, fits nicely in your hand, and 340g...

Post by **PhaneSoul** » Fri Apr 30, 2004 1:47 pm

i would like one that would mathc my interior color schemes, blue n black, so im thinkin either the shifter w/ boot will be black, then the little things will be blue, black main color, blue secondary, so n e one kno where they have sum nice lookin/feeling black knobs, hehe, i said knobs

i work at autozone and found one similar to the one that MECPInstaller said he has.

Except mine is brushed aluminum with the shift pattern cutout on top, and blue LEDs behind it, so that when you turn on the lights at night the LEDs light up the shift pattern....it's fairly light, and fits my hand pretty well, plus it sits lower than the stock shifter.

I don't remember the cost of it, i think it was like $20. I can get you a part # if you want. I'll try to wire it in this week and get a pic for you guys.
