I have heard a few people say really good things about the B&M shifter but it is pricey *$256 compared to $99 for the OBX* But I want good throws and firm confident shifts so I think I am going w/ the B&M....Now to talk the wife into it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

The OBX is a nice peice for the money. &nbsp;Price vs performance you can't beat it.

I'm going to be replacing my OBX with a B&M sometime in the next few months. &nbsp;The shifter being as important as it is, I shouldn't have skimped on it...the OBX just isn't good enough for me.

I just got the obx about a month ago, and it does the job very nicely. &nbsp;Feels Very short and tight at first, but then you get numb to the new throw distance, and it gets better broken in and some of the play comes back. &nbsp;Overall WELL worth the $80 I paid from PDM.

BTW that is the only place I would get it. &nbsp;Not only is Don cheaper, but he also supplies zip ties, and a new Nissan OEM Rubber boot, and a new OEM nylon bushing for it. &nbsp;This stuff doesn't normally come with it. &nbsp;

check out my install here:

enjukuracing.com usually has a good price on them.

edit - check out the C's short shifter too. &nbsp;a lot like the OBX but MUCH nicer. &nbsp;Jspec.com is having a sale on them right now too.. &nbsp;soo.

Nrcooled posted the ~price of the B&M.

Here (http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product_information.asp?number=BM-45088&variation=&aitem=3&mitem=3&back=yes&dept=1034) Is the best place I've seen to get the b&m short shifter.

IIRC they are made in the USA.

Edit: &nbsp;Here's (http://communities.msn.com/grantswebpage/bmshortshifterinstall.msnw) a link to Grant's B&M install.
