What do you use for a Shift Knob?

[IGSDann]

I've been wondering for a while what everyone uses for a shift knob, it's kinda a dumb question but worth asking. I use a Maxima shift knob, it looks good with the interior and even though it's light it feels easier to shift for me than the heavy stock knob. Dunno why.

Nismo GT I got for free :D Thanks PunkGenius!

[DRFT180]

I have the Greddy counterweight coming in I'll let you know when I put it on with my B&M.

[MakotoS13]

[driftracer]

I have the greddy counterweight on my stock shifter and it made shifting much simpler than no knob :p
However, I felt a leather knob and I think those feel better. By better, they don't condensate against your hands or get terribly hot in the summer. It may just be me though. Still, I went almost 6 months without a shift knob, so anything feels good to me at this point.

[Tygma]

I switch between the nismo resin knob and billet razo knob... both feel good... i can't make up my mind so i carry both with me.

[the head]

i have a metal nismo one with the carbon wraparound it is ok feels alright
just bought an HKS D1 knob cuz i wanted a rounded knob will post when i put it in

[Andrew Bohan]

I have the greddy counterweight. [leather ones] don't condensate against your hands or get terribly hot in the summer.

[Andrew Bohan]

[NI_YON_Zenki]

I'm currently runnin' the Tomei Duracon shiftknob, I love it, but it sits to high on the stock shiftarm. I'm working on getting a B&M myself, or the Tomei short-throw.

Bubble knob. I also have a Skull with light up eyes that goes in sometimes. I like crazy shift knobs, My Dad had a wodden carved fist as a shift knob in his 65 Mustang back in the early 70's, I think I'm gonna make a mold of my fist and work on that next. hahahaha

[s13irdie2]

i have the greddy aluminum. its whatevers. i got it for free. i want the razo drft shift knob. its jdmtyte!

[CKAMC]

[240witsr]

[Andrew Bohan]

hi, can i have my avatar back? thank you.

one time i got a razo style shift knob, and covered it in bondo, then i put on a rubber glove and grabbed the bondo and let go. then it dried and fit my hand perfectly. it was heavy as hell too. haaha

[s14xman]

nismo, paid out the ass for it and waited like 4 months for it from japan like three years ago, then a month later they started selling them here, oh wells!

A Spec titanium shift knob ^

used to have nismo, then signal auto aluminum knob, now this

full titanium weighted, so nice to shift :)

[AllenRPS13]

momo aluminium, i like it though...

[michael1284]

dildo knobs are nice and good to shift...only thing i would like would be to be heavier cuz w/ the b&m shit rattles like a mofo...other than that its awesome OH and it looks more "matte" finish when you first get it but after a while it becomes shinier/polished black looking from the oils on our hands :D

[smellslikecurry]

i either use my pink bubble shift knob...or my nismo butt plug in black

[orion::S14]

Stock + B&M shifter = the goodness.

Woohooo!! Transform Optimus Prime!!

I have the greddy counter weight as well dont like it, too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, so i put the stock 240sx shift knob back on, ad it feels soo much nicer. Actually i'm thinking about getting the sparco globe x. My buddy has the white nismo dildo knob.

[turbozxi]

Veilside knob for me came with the car but is pretty nice I would say some thought went into wieght etc..

[NI_YON_Zenki]

Im running the Ever Mighty Tomei Duracon. . . Period. I plan on running the Tomei short shifter along with it . Very accentuous.

[BOMEX180]

Getting the TOMEI duracon to go with the TOMEI short shifter. But I might consider the Monster titanium shift knob...dunmno

[nismo2491]

I have a "standard" style aftermarket knob that I customized, with a roughly 3/8 inch pushbutton switch on top for nitrous, and a little tiny 1/8 inch pushbutton where your middle finger sits for line lock, I hold mine like a joystick btw. I'll take some pics in the next week or so of it.

[Ian]

i'm gonna say +1 for the...
B&M+stock knob

i had the carbonfiber nismo one for a while but it's just stupid light for my B&M...i wish i had a C's shifter but this is what i got...after about 1 year of use the B&M is "broken in" to where i like it

[matlock]

I had a Nismo GT Rubber in my 240, and I have a B&M in my Hachi. I really like both of them, but I am not super picky...Nismo was really good with different temperatures and stuff, haven't have the hachi that long so we will see.

[drift into a curb]

Very accentuous.

[chmercer]

i got a budweiser beer tap handle, and a greddy counterweight, and a kazama. the kazama one sucks, its like .01 ounce

[WERDdabuilder]

i put mine on yesterday and it was tight and all. my friend told me to put some elmers glue to prevent it from twisting. well today i get in my car and twist the knob to see if it was still tight..well to my surprise..it kepted twisting. anyone else have this happen to em? oh btw, im using the nismo dildo ball knob.

[goodjuan]

NISMO plastic knob provides the best control IMO.....you see how smart the design is when you use it. There are more comfortable knobs out there, but i honestly think the shape of the dildo gives the best control.

Just buy a tap and die set at your local tool store, and die the thread down to 10mm, and problem solved.

I'd rock one on an AE86 or a boro S13 coupe. Because they are funny, but nothing but Nismo leather is gonna touch my S14. :cool:

I use a bone stock (ripped) S14 shift knob in my 13, at least I will until someone finds a Z32 stock shift knob for me

[240trainee]

There's a Z32 at the junkyard I am pulling brakes off of, I'll see if it's knob still looks nice for ya.

[d4vech3n]

So whats this craze about screw driver shift knobs? I had a ghetto one made with rubber band washers but there was too much play and flex. I see some other people have them and they use the same type of screw driver leading me to think theres one that fits better.. I'll get some pics for you guys if you're not familair. It's the new JDM

[FallbrookS13]

stock...................

[ghostuss]

stock 2...... It gets the job done.

[matlock]

I want a bubble knob for my AE86 just because it will look ultra funny I think. I have the B&M in there now and I like it a lot though. If anyone has a bubble knob they want to give me :D or sell just PM me thanks.

[95Blue240sx]

I use the Tomei duracon with the b&m short shitter. Feels good, but i want to try something heavier.

Ya know these guys use the bubble knobs because it gets the chicks. Think about!!!! duuuuuhhh.. or they just like to grab something nice long and hard.

:wiggle: JDM jDM jDm

[s14shrkeye]

stock for me :naughtyd:

Anyone wanna buy my Nismo Resin "dildo" knob? Looks more liek a buttplug... Or trade for a JDM Bubble Knob? Lets trade!

i mean, i know bubble shift knobs are "jDm TyTe Yo!" but i think they are pretty ugly and i dont understand why everyone uses them.

yea they are ugly, i sometimes use it cuz its funny ass hell but most of the time i roll with a stock one

[Thieu]

Voodoo Pearl

I got it as pearl but polished it since. Made for S2000 threads, but I made some "modifications" to my shifter to make it screw on. It is countersunk and feels awesome... Does get boiling hot in the sun...

I have aluminum ball like this too. Got it for $22 shipped and it has the OEM Nissan thread pitch (10x1.25?). Looks good with my brushed Nardi wheel.

You can get them from this seller on ebay: camaro_rsjunky

What I REALLY want is a leather ball...just like the aluminum one but leather. Completely round and countersunk. Seems hard to find:)
