expensive shift knobs lol

[frosti108]

ok i was surfing craigslist like i always do... and i found this-
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/416489551.html shift knob for 120/ he says he bought it for 250. sure its nismo but come the fuck on.
http://images.craigslist.org/0101030103120104002007090704a4a8cb8fcc7b523f0092be .jpg


have you ever bought a shift knob for 250 or even 120 or know anyone who has???
i mean seriously. im sorry if you have, and i really dont mean to come off as an ass, but it just AMAZES me. sure the shift knob looks real nice and looks like it would feel good in your hand. but $250????? ITS A SHIFT KNOB

:loco: :tweak: :ugh: :keke:

[Jtuned_andy]

I'm sure the fact that it's titanium, nismo, and most likely was purchased from a Nissan dealer, it may have cost 250$ retail. Or maybe he's just trying to hype the sale.

[Farzam]

$250 but it comes with 2 free $100 bills?

Iunno.

[atom]

He's either lying or he got mad ripped off. A titanium GT shift knob you can get for like 150 from the dealer. Even cheaper in japan.

[kdashy]

The rubber ones better anyways.

Wont burn your hand like a mofo.

[Z33dori]

dude theres a guy on my 350z selling these for 95 bucks shipped.. from dealer there were/are?? like 150 or so i think.

[Slidin240Wayz]

Nismo Ti...get it straight...shit is ballerific.

I am an ARC Ti whore though.

Carlos

[frosti108]

i just think thats a rediculous price for something as simple as a shift knob.

ive always had the stock shift knob, until one day while i was in the junkyard....

i found an ollld nissan truck with a good condition shift knob. its almost like vintage style i love it. ill post pics when i post pics of my car once its back on the road.


edit. oh im sorry, i also had a miata shift knob in my mazda truck (nice leather miata knob. and also had a dice in there for a little bit before i got the miata knob HAHA)

[DOOK]

yeah you can get the nismo Ti knobs for hundred bucks all day long

[Dutchmalmiss]

i'd pay $100 for a lava-lamp shift knob.

too bad they don't exist.

the arc titanium ball shift knob is over a hundred 120 is like regular price he prolly gt riped off depending on where he got it , he might have paid that much if he dd get t from the dealer tho

[zaquanh]

i'd pay $100 for a lava-lamp shift knob.

ill take one lol , do they make like snow glob shift knobs that would be kina cool lol like the arc titanium ball but clear with like a snowy 180 in it lol

[frosti108]

lava lamp shift knob would be awesome its just that you would burn your hand if your tried to shift hahaha

i liked the pool ball shift knobs someone was sellin...

[614duece40]

a titanium shift knob just seems pointless to. stick something practical f$$k looks.

personally, i love the tomei duracon one, good size and feel..and designed to not heat up on those 90 degree days :) (even though i'll be pussyfooting my steering wheel hehe)

[Koopa Troopa]

My stillway shifter uses it's own knob and my Trust short throw has a stock Silvia shift knob with a weight in it...

I love that stock shift knob to death. It's so heavy I could kill a man with it should that situation arise.

One bubble knob- Free
One 8" bubble knob- Free
One Nismo GT knob- Free

I don't pay more than nothing for shift knobs for the 240.

ive had a bubble knob in my car (10" i think) it was cool for a while. right now i have a skunk2 (yes, skunk2) one that my friend gave me. its pretty nice and i hear they go for a bit over $40? not bad, weighted feels pretty nice.

I got my ARC shift knob for $80 but I have seen the Aspec one in person and it looks similiar, meaning built well and for cheapers. I do rock the e-brake knob from him.

But Logan, we all know you need that woodgrain to match your Nardi.

We make out own knobs

We have two versions

46mm
50mm

And yes, as of recently all knobs have A Spec laser etched into them (the knob on my car was one of the first ones we made, so no logo)

If I did I wouldn't be driving a 240



But Logan, we all know you need that woodgrain to match your Nardi.

Haha....don't tell anyone, but that's not a REAL Nardi!

LOL, Nardi don't make any 330 Deep Corns in Wood, not possible!

Thats a Japan special steering wheel I picked up....I love that thing (Nardi horn button though haha)

Do those A Spec knobs get hot sitting in the sun?

I was drooling when I saw it in the display at Aspec while waiting to meet Logan, I forgot to buy one!

Correct, God decided when he created the earth that metals would get hot while in the direct path of the sun

When I used to daily my car with this knob, I would just unscrew it when parked and put in my center console out of the sun

This would do two things:

Keep the knob cool
Keep the haters from stealing my shit

[Slidin240Wayz]

Stop complaining about expensive items.

If you complain, you can't afford them.

It's called savings or prioritizing.

No, it won't make your car faster, but it will help you shift quicker (sometimes) and make it a non-run-of-the-mill 240.

[C. Senor]

^yeah the leather one from nismo....SUPER light. but i have a bubble knob...50 bucks what ever. when it breaks (because apparantely these things break all the time) i'll see what's up. the beer tab thing is way too big in my opinion...only knowing because i had a few. the greaser/rockabilly/rat rod/custom guys love doing that. it works good in an automatic. (of course i speak of older shifters that dont use that little button) i'm going to search for some gangsta ass shift knobs now see what i can find.

Weighing in at 1 pound 4 ounces(568 grams), the NextGear HeavyWeight Shift Knob is weighted for an easier more precise shift. The threaded shift knobs work great with both the OEM shifters or aftermarket short throw shifters and are available only in solid stainless steel. They Cost $70 and i think they look good as hell.

[zaquanh]

see the ways that some of you guys are talking about the prices on the shift knob shows exactly how much you know about shift knobs , first off , a real titanium item isnt cheap and dont try to say it is then show us a ebay item , just because in the description it says titanium , it is , and then they shift knobs that are expensive is because they look good , they are balanced , that are made for certain specs. not just glued together like some ,, these are high quality materials specifically grafted for your car , just because its a shift knob doesnt mean its a cheap item and you dont need a better one , sure you can have the same one but its a driver choice i personaly will buy the arc shift knob because of the material and the fact that is a true ball , no not the fake pool ball ones there bigger , and no one ever said that there gain performance but its the feel of it that gives you comfort or helps you shift which is why weighted shift knobs where created , or why theres different designs , take the pool ball one ok so you buy it for 20 bucks but its you end up scratching it , you will feel that sratch every time you shift , no realistically how often are you going to be able to scratch you 100 titanium one

[RazoE]

I paid $40 my aluminum RAZO shift knob..

and to be honest, the only reason I got it was because Razo's my last name, and chicks love it, they think it's custom, haha..

ive had a rolling rock beer tap for almost a year now. i bought it so i can make a shift knob...but i need to make it fit with a new coupling nut or something. can someone else?

[ayuaddict]

is it the one with the threading on the outside of the mounting deal?

in that case i figure you could just get a spacer section of decently thick round tubing, and weld two nuts to either end, one 12x1.5 and the other to accommodate whatever the threading is on your beer tap.

it seems simple enough...a trip to the hardware store and a afternoon project kind of thing.

anyone have a nice carbon one? is the circuit sports one nice? i thought for the price it would be shit.

The Circuit Sports one isn't too bad, but it doesn't suit my tastes.

When you install it, you have to loc-tite it on, or it will unscrew itself, and it gets annoying. It looks really nice though.

I hate shift knobs in the shape of a ball... There's nothing to grab onto when I need to shift.. Instead I got this annoying monstracity of a shape sitting there waiting to harass my hand as I try to grab hold and move to the next gear...

hahaha this thread is gettin big. shows just how much zilvia loves their shift knobs hahahaha

reading all the posts... my idea is to get one of those mini liquor bottles you find at the liquor store for like a dollar or 2, drink its contents ofcourse, and then flip it upside down for a sick ass shift knob. only problem is getting it to work. maybe you could fill it with epoxy or something? that way it would never break but would probly be mo heavy. also how would u get the threads in there... idk

[Sir]

I personally have B&M one that cost me 10bux. Heavy, easy to shift - no complaints.

My buddy had a couple of shiftknobs made out of some sort of epoxy (think bubble knobs), played around with putting stuff in them for my buddies. everyone loved it, but they were a little small for my huge hands.

Using hollow glass may not be the best idea for a shift knob.

tried the whole epoxy the nut to the bottom of the tap thing..didnt work ha.

here's pictures of what my tap looks like.

tap is like 6"

how the threading looks from the bottom.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v407/drewdabuilder/tap1.jpg
the white piece inside is basically the threading molded into the plastic. it has teeth around it also.

bout to like drill that sucker out and put in a couple nut.

[A Spec Products]

Logan, titanium gold fish knob, please. The aluminum one I have is plain-jane. I'll buy 1, haha. Get on it.

We thought about it

But its just a waste of titanium at that point

Well not a waste but it just uses more titanium than we'd like (and then the price would change, so you wouldn't like it)

Ball shift knobs rule (while driving for real, not daily)

I don't like pole styles

The beer tap style has been done time and time again in S chassis, I forget who though

I think it'd be cool for like a day or two, but then when you get hassled by the cops for car stuff and they see that thing sitting in your shifter it might not give them the best impression (although maybe some cops might call it cool)

Using hollow glass may not be the best idea for a shift knob.

Anything glass for a shift knob would be a bad idea

Much less a hollow glass bottle

About 40 bucks shipped from ebay. Has a very good feel, and is weighted (230grams=approx. 1/2lb.).

[Dutchmalmiss]

A light saber handle would be the shit too. Why am I posting ideas haha!

I'm tryin to look for a small led light i can attach to my bubble shift knob to light up at night. Anyone have any good sources for these?

[hippo_chips]

We thought about it

But its just a waste of titanium at that point

Well not a waste but it just uses more titanium than we'd like (and then the price would change, so you wouldn't like it)

Waste of titanium? Come on, you guys make the titanium bulb shift knob. That's a waste, and it's similar to the ARC, just burnt. If you make the titanium burnt gold fish, it would be just as much a waste as the bulb. But, no one makes titanium gold fish or butt plug styles. You'd be the first. Nismo has some light hard-plastic butt plug thing, but it's just white or black, boring. You guys have the aluminum one, which is nicely weighted, but boring silver or black. Do it Logan. Price doesn't matter to me, I want it, haha. I buy stuff from you I don't even use. I'll keep buggin you until it happens.

[WanganRunner]

I've seen outrageously expensive shift knobs. Didn't Esprit make like a $300 shift knob for awhile?

The stuff for Euro cars can be out of hand, from companies like Mansory and Arden. $1,000 for a shift knob, $4,000 for a bumper, $25k for brakes, etc...


I don't see the point though, especially not in an S-chassis. I'm unusually picky about shift knobs as I like a very lightweight one to somewhat counteract the additional notchiness of a short-throw setup.

[Koopa Troopa]

I like how S chasis owners try to pretend that their cars are worth more than $3000 :rofl:

You're a waste of titanium LOL

I've already suggested this to my boss but no luck

Maybe some day

Depending on your area, sometimes the shipping might be weird

I would always recommend ordering through me versus the website

More personal service (I don't handle web orders) and I can always give a better price

That is the illest shit I have ever seen.

[prang11]

I saw a shifter with a fly fishing hook molded into it a while back. Anyone have any idea if these are for sale anywhere? One would look real nice in my truck.

[Dutchmalmiss]

Well well well, look what I made...

BALLIN mod

[BlazedGlory]

The Project Mu knobs are nice too.

Have you used one or read any actual reviews anywhere? I currently have a Nismo "dildo" knob, and I'm thinking about switching to either a Mu (not sure wtf the torque tension does or how much it weighs), or a Greddy counter weighted, or perhaps a TWM knob (they weigh just over a pound!). How much do the Aspec ones weigh?

Any thoughts on weighted knobs?

[SlideWell]

Nismo leather shift boot and black shift knob.
That is all.

You do know why that allen wrench was included in the box with the shift knob, right? :keke:

I'm rocking the same ball(er) knob in my car too, thanks to Logan.

[lflkajfj12123]

i don't really like any of the knobs that look like a ball

i like the oem leather shift knobs personally

is there any nice leather style knobs that you guys could post

[upSLIDEdown]

i been waiting for a crown royal bag forever. i should go open a box at the store and yank it.

haha i talked to logan and he filled me in on the info the day the pic was taken. i was wonderin what it was for lol man that pic looks bad now that i look at it.

[Onitsukagirl]

I have these two shift knobs. I like to alternate between the two. I have come to realize that I like 'ball' type shifters way better than the 'stick' type.

This one is nice looking

LOL. I thought to myself, well maybe he wants A Spec to read in line with his vision when he looks down at the knob like how gauges on the dash are angled towards the driver...or not.

When I sell my car in the spring, my B&M and shift knob are coming with me! No if's, and's, or but's about it.

[origin_s135]

The rubber ones better anyways.

Wont burn your hand like a mofo.

seriously, i remember those hot summer days, getting into my car was a pain! i had to get a scarf to put on it just to drive, that and the damn leather seats that came with the car, thank god i have no more leather seats. haha

[A Spec Products]

Yes, the allen wrench that comes with the knob is meant to adjust the inside set screw, which adjusts how much thread you can get into the knob (which in turn aligns the A Spec logo)

Also, for those that own the A Spec "Goldfish" knob, it is dual threaded, so you need to remove the top set screw (which is for 12x1.25) to access the threads above, which are 10x1.25

seriously, i remember those hot summer days, getting into my car was a pain! i had to get a scarf to put on it just to drive, that and the damn leather seats that came with the car, thank god i have no more leather seats. haha

Yeah, I never ever tried those Duracon knobs (like the Tomei) but it would have been helpful on really hot days when I used to daily my car

In my daily beater I have a plastic bubble knob, which doesn't keep heat, which is nice

But when I used to daily my car with the titanium knob, I'd typically just unscrew it and put in the glove, or center console, which did two things 1) kept it cool + 2) kept it from gettin jacked!

Nice

I'd do that but I don't like Crown Royal whatsoever haha (to drink)

Cool that it matches the car tho (purple paint)

[kingkilburn]

Can any one recommend a good weighted shift knob? Preferably one shaped more like a stock knob than a dildo(lol) or ball.

thats what i have, and i like it a lot!

i had a dildo flower knob though, which was my favorite, but it broke in half :( i want to get another one for just mulling around town, but i just cant justify the price right now when much more important things to pay for, ie: a swap lol.
