Rusty, do you have a shifter on order now? Just wondering. I am waiting for a bit. I have a big bill coming up real soon. LOL

No. Waiting to see if they will make the one piece to fit the 370.

They've already sent a prototype plate to one of the members for fitting. They should be in fabrication soon. Since all that is needed to be done to use the 350z plate is drilling four new holes in the trans tunnel I decided not to wait.

The only issue I have with mine is that I wanted to try an aftermarket shift knob and the shifter was suppose to be M12 X 1.50 thread pitch. I tried an M12 X 1.50, M12 X 1.25 and an M12 X 1.75 nut and none of the 3 would thread on. I contacted Matt at SOHO and he is contacting Coolerworx to see if he can find out what the thread pitch actually is.

It's a M14xsomething... I covered it in the installation part of the thread Soho started.

I can't find that info in the other thread.

My bad, it's a M12x1.5 according to the Soho page (https://sohomotorsports.com/product/...ter-350z-370z/). Thought I had written that in my notes buuuuuut guess not. Not sure where I got M14 from...

I purchased an M12 X 1.5 insert for my Raceseng shift knob and tried it but it didn't work. I then tried an M12 X 1.25 and an M12 X 1.75 nut and they didn't work either.

I'm at a loss, hopefully Coolerworx can clarify this.

Mystery solved on the thread pitch. I received an email from Coolerworx this morning and he verified the M12 X 1.50 thread pitch. With that info I took an M12 X 1.50 die and cleaned up the first couple of threads and it's fine now. Apparently when the existing knob got tightened down it compressed the first couple of threads. I can see how that can easily happen with the design of the existing knob mounting design.

Post pictures! Curious to see it with a different knob and people always ask. Love my raceseng shift knob.

I haven't driven the car yet (goes in for tune next week) but just sitting in it and going through the gears, the stock knob did feel good. One issue I might have with it and like I've had with other metal knobs is they get extremely hot in our So. Cal. sun. I'll install the one I purchased and post some pics when I get my car back next week.

Covercraft UVS line of sunshades are amazing fit and quality. You can throw a sock on the shifter when parked. Highly recommend some good tint if you are into that to top it off. Problem solved

At the shop today, confirmed with Matt our next order of shifters will have the updated 370Z pads. When they come in I'll post some pictures and update the product page.

Will the new pads be available to those of us that have purchased the shifter with the 350Z pads?

is this any less notchy then other short throw shifters?

We will ask coolerworkx. If you have already installed it, would just be more for resale if you wanted to sale to a 370Z down the road from my understanding.

So notchy to me has more to do with being difficult to get into gear. I don't have those problems with the shifter that I had with other short shifters. I would say it does have a very mechanical feel, that can sometimes be confused with notchy though. Check out the video below if you haven't seen it.



Start at 1:57 to miss me awkwardly explaining new features on the website.

As Sontbp mentioned, it is a mechanical feel. I had described it as notchy in one of my posts. That may be the wrong way to describe it. It clicks into gear with no effort unlike some of the short shifters on the market that take force to get them to engage. That's why some people use a weighted shift knob on their short shifters. I would call the Coolerworx shifter a race shifter that works great for street use also.

If you want a shifter that has the stock feel then this shifter isn't for you. If you want a shifter that gives a super short throw and positive engagement shifts then the Coolerworx is no doubt the best on the market.

Agreed! I explained in my short review of it as being notchy and mechanical. The shifter provides a lot of feel and feedback. I really like the resistance of mechanical feel with each throw regardless of up or down shifts. If you miss a gear during a shift...well that would be user error in a major way. If you track (drag or circuit) you definitely want one of these bad boys!

Thanks, that sounds good, i have a TWM short throw shifter now and its its hard to get it in the gears, i love how close the gears are, but sucks getting in the gear, i'm going to have to get this then....

I was using the TWM also. Night and day difference.

Mine pops right in.

I had TWM and it was hard to get in gears, for cruising it was good, for fast shifting not as good, I returned to stock shifter with my weighted knob, and I didn't look back. Now, I am tempted to try Coolerworx, I am resisting it, but for how long idk. :icon17:

There really is no comparison between the two shifters. I also was using the TWM and the difference is like the description given in the one video...Nissan 370z vs Audi r8. That pretty much sums it up!

The one reason I don't have one is due to my previous short throw shifter experience. When shifting fast most of them suck. Stock works well for me, I can bang them out no problem.

If your coming to ZCON, we should have at least one car there with the shifter in it. Come say Hi and check it out in person.

For those that reached out about the 370Z pads, sounds like they are currently delayed. Should get an update Monday.

Now that looks good.

Thanks, works better than it looks. :happydance:

Anyway to have the shifter made in a Nissan/Infinity thread pitch and size (M10x1.25)? I have 2- Hebi Bebi knobs I would like to use.

I doubt if coolerworx would do it. You'd probably need to have an adapter fabricated with an M12 x 1.50 female threaded end and an M10 X 1.25 male end.

Well see. I am not using the knobs now because of how low they will sit. I am not crazy about that. They are just very rare so why not.

Just got our 370Z pads/shifters in yesterday. I'm heading to the shop in the morning to get ready for ZCON I'll have some pictures posted. Given how late we got the shifters they may not be in the car(s), but I'll at least have a 350Z shifter at the booth. Still waiting on a few more, so what we got will likely get shipped to customers first.

Nik,
They say anything about how much those will be for us that got caught out recently and installed the 350z pad? It hurt my soul knowing I could've just bolted the thing in , but I couldn't wait.

We where told they would update us when they got caught up. Still waiting on a few 370Z ones. I have you on my list to update when they catch up and let us know.

Thanks, take care of your customers first but keep me in mind. I got my shifter through 9k but I'll my base from you when you get access to them.

Anyone know when these will be available for our cars? they're sold out :(

The shifter assembly? You can order it directly from coolerworx but you'll want to double check the exchange rate for price comparison.

Yea i did check, its $50 more roughly

Who'd you try ordering through? Both Soho and 9K Racing carry them.

Coolerworkx seems to be having some communication issues with our last few orders, currently we are not taking new orders until they prove they can fix our concerns.
