Yup.

ooo- looks nice - i like the round bit would go well with the curves on the 350

[lwells]

lucien, that's a damn nice pic

I will let you know as soon as I've heard from Japan Parts .. I emailed them about 4 or 5 days ago and no response.  Might have to ask a mate who has rellies in Japan to see if he can sort something out for me

Dave's also trying to get a price:

excellent

/me expects an email soonish lol...

i have a Impul unit... its a long cylindrical one like mentioned before... feels pretty good to shift, but its pure metal so it sucks in summer and winter.

It also comes with a gear stick extender... that bends the gearknob towads your leg and keeps the knob on an angle, for a racy feel i guess...

LOL Is Dave buying through you?

LW.

[funkymonkey]

nah nah, from you lol... nevermind, joke's ruined now... go to sleep.

dAVE has his own contacts in japan, I doubt he'd need to use anyone to get em.

For those not following Dave's group buy thread, he has come through with a price of $210 to your door for the GT Titanium shifter:

Your ghey The carbon nismo doesn't do it for me, but nor do the space invaders stylee ones. Cmon Tony, come to the dark side of the GT Titanium shifter

$215 is wayyy over the top for a mere knob.

Maybe for a "knobbing"...

T.

[funkymonkey]

sigh, why can't you all just use a stock knob like the rest of us... ok maybe not me (*hides aluminium impul shift knob*) it dosen't make your car go faster

And I agree... $215 is stupid amounts of money to spend on a knob that autobarn replicates perfectly lol

[unwritten law]

usually with my metal nismo one, i find that slipping a sunglasses slip over the top stops it from getting hot during summer

I like to use a stubbie cooler (wetsuit material) turned upside down over it, comes in handy when there is an emergency too

I have an aluminium one, it cylindrical about 3-4 inchs long and about 1.5inches round. has HKS printed on the side of it. I am talking about my shift knob

you'd wanna use the white ball as its heavier.

I use a VB can cooler to cover my knob in hot weather (doesn't get much use now).

About your HKS knob... does it say "Hello Kiddies, want to Suqq my throbbing knob" when you get excited?

I use the Trust Billet Aluminium one, costs about $40 from Greenline.

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I have just bought the gear knob for the R. its the Nardi Torino black leather one. it was $108 from HJC motorsports in penrith. It was cheaper then the Nismo one that I was gonna get and like this one better.

had a nismo aluminium one before and it is too hard after a while, hurts you hand on long drives. thats me anywayz

A knob is a very important thing

I recall in the drift bible...the jap geek saying...its important you have a good setup.

Good suspension .. ... ... ... and last thing was a good gear KNOB!

But yeah the nismo carbon fibre knob isnt very good waste of money
