Lots of auto shifters have a leather boot (including, BTW, the G37) -- it looks better. There's no special reason for having one on a manual gear shifter either (see further years of terrible rubber boots...).
It's cosmetic. No one is meant to be fooled. No posturing intended or attempted. But whatever gets you through your day...

Sure the G37 also has a little thing next to it called a gear indicator. You know what's special to a manual? Not having one. Hey if covering your shifter to make it look like a manual and then using the stick to manually shift your auto gets you through your day You should add a foot parking brake so its like you have three pedals too. Lots of cars have one not just manuals |

The 7AT is designed to be manually shifted OR automatically shifted. It's not a game of pretend. You understand that, right? There's a gear indicator on the dash... The MT also indicates gears on the dash, and most OEM knobs have a little marking of gears on the knob.. Actually, if there was a complete AT bezel, boot, and knob package that looked good and fit (e.g., the G37 one) I probably would have just gotten that to make the swap easier. What exactly are we arguing about here??? Do you have a red GT-R start button? Does that make you (or anyone else) think it's a GT-R? It's cosmetic. That's all. If my panties are in a bunch you've got yours twisted so tight you're starting to lose oxygen to your brain.

Nope I don't have a GTR start button and let me refresh your memory, you're a poser with your manual shift boot, removing your indicator, and manual shifting with the "stick" Hold on, im losing oxygen. Going to hook up to my breather now. Will return when oxygenated. |

Anyway, don't bother with the extra oxygen. It's pretty clear you've suffered permanent brain damage...

Real Men ™ also don't use SynchroRevMatch to pretend they know how to downshift accurately, don't use power steering because they don't have girly arms, don't use ABS brakes because they can threshold brake on any surface at any time just fine on their own, don't have car audio systems (especially upgraded ones!) because they'd rather listen to the engine any day, don't have air conditioning (you're gonna waste engine power because you're too much of a pansy to enjoy a warm day?), and they certainly don't have in-dash navigation systems because they don't need goddamn directions from anyone. Oh yeah, and they probably don't drive wimpy import V6's either. So if your Z is how you define your manhood, you were in trouble long before you decided on a transmission.

PLain and simply i don't drive a manual to make my **** bigger it's fine the way it is, but I have a HELL of a lot more fun with my manual rev match or not than any automatic. Everyone i know with an automatic Z wishes they had a real manual trans at least a few times. You want the auto day today or when you are at the strip, but you bought an enthusiast car and didn't order the option that is the most fun, 2 grand cheaper, and you don't need to throw $6k at to get it to hold 500hp.
Edit: everyone who does a forced induction or track build on an auto gets to sit there and wonder how much power and abuse will it take before it goes to **** an needs to be sent to a dealer to replace because the tcm is coded to the ecu, and wont work in another car, and is inside the transmission.

Besides we all know real men drive automatic V8s. They're also poor so they get no options. |
