Yeah before these came out again at $250 + shipping by Rowen AKA; For a brand new one you would be looking at $450-500 for one of the authentic Tommy Kaira Hebi Babi's.

I paid $420 for my authentic (non-remade) Tommy Kaira Hebi Babi. So yeah you guys got a great deal lol for the rep's

Give it a minute birdman. It was another short run. I'm sure the prices will jump again.

What's the hubbub with these shift knobs? I don't really understand what makes them so great? Not trying to troll, just trying to understand. =)

I am also scratching my head wondering what the hype is all about?

Putting the price aside (which is crazy high in my opinion) and just focusing on the knob itself, the shape is one of the best feeling shift knobs shapes I have ever felt. The top round portion is perfect for shifting into 1st, 3rd and 5th, while the ridges allow you to grab with your fingers tips to pull back into second and fourth.

^can't wait to put mine on

I'll probably do it tonight... hopefully my jdmpw shift knob will come off easily

couldn't describe it any better cooltoy. Other than that its 509grams which is one of the heavier knobs out there for its size. It is made of brass steel and the feel of it is like slicing through warm butter with a chef's knife. :tup:

One thing with it unless the remakes were fixed, is that you will have to put a washer under the knob on the shifter to be able to get the turtle straight. I haven't done it yet but I plan to when a washer comes along :tup:

I just used a small amount of loctite and it holds very well. I didn't use nearly as much as Nissan used on the OEM knob lol.

birdman71 11-20-2015 06:29 PM
I never use that on shift knobs. I'd rather want to be able to take the knob off and bring it with me if im in a bad neighborhood.. keep it safe. Kinda like some steering wheels lol. Plus if I ever interchange my shift knobs.

the washer gives enough lift and can be removed easier than Loctite it to the shifter. Unless these new knobs don't come threaded. Idk about that. It should though.

Rowen said they where going to be exactly the same as the original run.
