Engraving Sample




This engraving is not actually machined into the surface. Instead it is laser engraved on top of the surface. This option would be cheaper than an actual machine engraved finish due to ease of set-up for the laser compared to CNC machine. If interested, PM me for more details.

Also have Shift boots:

This is an awesome mod and I'm greatful for seeing it coming to the Z. Please don't be insulted by some ideas id like to throw at you. This is just some food for thought.... Mine's Racing had a wiring harness that reversed the shift on the stick for the 7at. So with the harness you downshift on a OEM upshift and vice-versa. It makes manual shifting feel more natural. It would be awesome if you made a package deal with the harness.
I see that the ball looks like a manual ball for real. Does it eliminate the shift lock? Or is it hidden in the leather?
I was thinking the ball looks nice but would you be able to make something with a more ergo design like a boxing glovish shaped shifter? That would look hot if done right.
Another kool idea would be to engrave the ball like pjdm, but make it more nissan oriented. I don't know if you legally could engrave FairladyZ but that would be smack killa... or even just the engraved shift pattern with the new wiring harness +,- symbols..

Just thoughts... take my post with a grain of salt if you don't like my ideas.
