GB: Pool ball shift knobs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

**Phlip** · 04-15-2007, 10:24 PM

I am happy to bring to you the pool ball shift knob project.
Premium members saw first round, I posted the last few remaining in general for sale section, it appears I have enough interest to set up a full group buy, now...
This was the "public" one:
http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=140283
This is what the set looks like, for color comparison:

I have a cue in my car, I this is the one that is now in Wei240's car, mounted on my shifter for photographs:

And the one that I am ACTUALLY using, mounted on my stocker:

Red 11 mounted to show off:

Fromxtor's Titan (240 wasn't at his crib):

tknbkthrsdy4anfg's S13:

Nismornr's S13:

Fun fact: he beat on his at a drift day event today and mine has seen DD action for well over a month now...
'90RPS13's 90 RPS13:

I will start this thread with those that have expressed interest, to this point... Dibs were called by some who'd missed on the original premie thread, and now a couple since I went public, here is the list to this point:
Cue - available
1 ball - available
2 ball - mikey976 (paid)
3 ball - The Head (paid)
4 ball - Dax
5 ball - available
6 ball - BillyTheChamp
7 ball - birthday gift to a friend, don't ask
8 ball - Gaelen (paid)
9 ball - GSXRJJordan
10 ball - available
11 ball - lucky7 (paid)
12 ball - available
13 ball - Kouki (paid)
14 ball - available
15 ball - available

Cost is $35 shipped to the US and $45 shipped to Canada. Paypal accepted, PM/IM me about payment... I am in central (piedmont, Greensboro to be exact) NC for local folks...

... I will let you know when to PM, anyone looking to do so early may PM me for information.

update
I have a 1 *SPOKEN FOR* ready to ship.

Kouki · 04-16-2007, 08:56 PM

Put me down for either the 5 or 13, I'd prefer the 13 but if it's spoken for I'd do the 5. I will paypal right away when you let me know. Also you know what'd be pretty cool too? If you used a set of the marblized balls for shift knobs I think that'd be pretty bad ass. But yeah I'm in for sure so mark it down!

**Phlip** · 04-16-2007, 09:11 PM

^^^ You're down for the 13.

... paypal address [email protected]
Turnaround time will be a couple weeks, possibly as many as 3 (check my reviewed thread, I am not here to fuck you over). All shipping is USPS, because I work 2 miles from a post office.
If your SHIPPING address is not the same as your paypal, PLEASE let me know.

Again, I repeat:
1:

... still remains from the last set and can ship as early as tomorrow.

The list in my first post is updated as soon as I receive PM/responses, I will let you know personally if someone else has already taken what you've requested.

*UPDATE*
1 and is spoken for, first post updated for everyone who has sent me a PM or inquiry.

tbowzer · 04-17-2007, 12:28 AM

Ill take the one ball. pm sent

**Phlip** · 04-17-2007, 06:07 AM

^^^ Got it in right now, you've got PM

the head · 04-17-2007, 09:24 AM

I will take the 11 sending PM now

bigOdom1 · 04-17-2007, 09:26 AM

**Phlip** · 04-17-2007, 11:15 AM

Sorry, the eight had already been spoken for
Head, I have responded to both your PMs

azndoc · 04-17-2007, 07:53 PM

The balls are awesome. Awesome product by an awesome seller. I still gotta put up pics of mine. Thanks again Phlip.

GSXRJJordan · 04-18-2007, 01:17 PM

He got in on the 14 I had in hand and ready to go, the 14 and 15 are still available from the set and both should be ready to ship shortly, feel free to paypal anytime, and let me know which one you want.

lucky7 · 04-22-2007, 09:43 PM

is the 11 avialable still? or did 'the head' purchase that one? he inquired about the 11, but according to your list, he bought the 3. wondering if by chance it hasnt been updated yet, or if there is a mistake. at any rate, i would like the 3 or the 11 if you still have them. ill be out of town till tuesday night, but i'll be happy to send you $ via paypal first chance i get upon confirmation. thanks.

He paid for the 11 and the 3, I had an 11 in my house and ready to ship, it has now been shipped to him... The 3 is coming from the whole set, he has already paid for it as well, the 11 from the set is all yours if you're interested.

lucky7 · 04-24-2007, 05:26 PM

money sent for the 11 ball. thank you!

Money received, list has been updated, everyone on the list will ship as soon as I have them back from drilling. Thank you to everyone for being patient with me!

lucky7 · 04-24-2007, 05:36 PM

cool. thanks again.

derek_s13 · 04-24-2007, 08:14 PM

so, they're real billiard balls being tapped...

BUT

do they all thread on straight. meaning, does the number read perpendicular to the seats?

**Phlip** · 04-24-2007, 08:24 PM

Derek, that is situation-dependent, I just screwed the 2 I have here in my room with me onto my stock shifter sitting here next to me, one did, the other was a couple degrees off... It's kinda difficult to MAKE them screw all the way down perfectly that way, as in it is just not an exact science...
My personal is a cue ball, no marking/numbering on it, so I never thought of it in that manner.

lucky7 · 04-24-2007, 10:32 PM

i was thinking about that. but if the case is, its not centered properly. i think some thread-lock may just do the trick. assuming its strong enough to keep it in place. we'll soon find out. im not overly concerned about it myself. its just a really cool idea IMO, and im glad i came across this when i did.

'90RPS13 · 04-24-2007, 10:43 PM

Yeah, I tossed mine on and it lined up perfect. Nice and tight. I imagine just toss some threadlock on it and be done with it. They are definately nice. I love mine.

Irukandji · 04-24-2007, 11:04 PM

Worse comes to worse just get a nut and tighten it up towards the ball when you get it in the position you want.
