Shiftknobs: Nismo GT vs Greddy (ball)

--Here are some shiftknob weights pulled from pg 2 of this thread, for anyone that might want to know--
Code:
For Reference:
340g = 0.75 lbs. = weight of a full (12 oz) soda can
 
440g - Skunk2
375g - Razo RA120
365g - Greddy Ball Type SH
362g - Blaze
340g - Fairlady Z32
----





Which do you prefer and why?

There's only a $10 price difference... both are counterweighted.

I think the main thing the nismo has going for it is that it won't get burning hot?


///also, currently have this:


How do you think the GT and Greddy would compare?
I am dissatisfied with the grabbing position, as well as how hot it can get.

i have the same shift knob as your's i find the position of the grip is fine but only downfall is when you park your car and let it sit for like 30min-1hr in the heat it does get very hot to touch. I'd looking into the nismo resin shift knob.

I also have the nismo gt and I love the way it feels. The material makes for a good grip. It doesn't get slippery when my hands are sweaty. Doesn't get hot on hot days. It has a good weight to it. There's also a screw on top to ensure that the shifter won't ever come loose. Plus it has a simple yet sporty look to it.

I have the greddy, nice to drive with, there is some good weight to it. It does get hot though, so I take it off when I get to work and set it aside for the day or put it in the freezer haha.

You guys should look a JDM company called blaze... I have one of their shift knobs and its weight 362 grams. It looks and feels awesome especially with short shifter rattle. Also really helps getting into gear...

I HAD the Nismo GT knob, and LOVED it. Only reason I got rid of it was that the outer part (rubber or whatever it is) came detatched from the metal center part. Not sure how long it was in the car because it was in the car when I bought it. It did last at least 2 1/2 years (how long I've owned the car). I would recommend it over the Greddy knob though. Just want to give you a heads up on what will happen to it in the future.

Yeah, my GT Knob is cool, but the outer rubber part isn't connected to the inner part. I got it used, so I don't know if it was originally attached, but it's not now. lol

I really wish it was heavier. It doesn't feel like it's as heavy as the stock knob. I'm gonna get something a bit heavier eventually.

Mo heavy = mo betta

Do you have GT Titanium knob? It's not that light. It's prety heavy considering its size.

If you like that nismo leather knob, you'll like this one too:



Its off of a JDM Z32 Fairlady Z and has 12 oz. of counter weight. I also love how it matches well with my nardi deep corn w/ red stitching.... and it only costs $45.

I have the Nismo GT in my s13 and really like it. But as someone else posted, the rubber did eventually separate from the metal part of the knob. I really liked it because it never got hot in the summer and had a nice feel to it.
