$250 plus shipping is the group buy price? :confused:

This is the only reason I wish I went manual instead of paddle shifters...

It does get hot but you get used to it after a while. If you cover it with a towel when you get out of the car it's not bad at all.

SgtGoldy 08-10-2013 12:43 AM

(everyone is going off-topic of the vendors post... probably should stop before a mod cleans the thread)

I got in on the last group by and IMHO this knob is well worth the money. I live in AZ so I no hot and the knob does heat up. I use a beer, I mean drink coozie to cover the shift knob and it keeps it cool enough to handle.

edit: I don't drive it with the coozie over the knob it just keeps the direct sunlight off of it and it provides some insulation from the heat!

tonythetiger 08-10-2013 09:04 AM

thats what worries me burning my hands off in this texas summer heat...but so tempting to get this shift knob

Jasonle 08-10-2013 09:50 AM

I ended up selling mine. But it was a nice shift knob... really like the feel of it when shifting.

kensnismo 08-10-2013 11:39 AM

more important than getting hot in summer is there a noticable diffrence in the shifting or is this more of a dress up piece? thanks

:icon18: True that....

I got in on the last group buy and I'm very happy with it. Drove the car all summer in California (about 110 was the peak this year - dry heat) and the knob was never too hot to handle. I'm not saying it was comfortable when first getting into the car by any means but, honestly, the black plastic and steering wheel get hotter than the knob IMO.

I don't think heat should deter anyone from purchasing this shift knob, it's really excellent.

ka24king 08-12-2013 05:30 PM

This knob makes a HUGE difference in shift feel! Want the shifting process of the Z to feel smooth and normal? Get the clutch helper spring, a different clutch and THIS KNOB !!!!! It's is a big improvement over stock and most aftermarket knobs for that matter :)

Shout out to Bo at 370ZTune!

Got my shift knob today and it's flawless. Perfect packaging full of bubble wrap. :tup:

Didn't realize it doesn't come with a manufacturer's box (ex: like Nismo shift knobs), but whatever, it's all good.

Will definitely do business again!

Thank you for the shout out!! We very much appreciate your support :tiphat:. To address the issue about the box, we noticed that Tommy Kaira sends it out to us only wrapped in bubble wrap also but they do wrap them up pretty well so I guess as long as it's protected we're okay with it ;). Let us know if you need anything else!
