I can not makeup my mind about which knob I want! My Z is my first manual and I don't know why I just don't like the feel of the stock knob much. My options so far are:

-Tommy Kaira style ^

-NISMO Titanium

-Custom - (just won the auction $100) not sure if its worth it...Its definitely something you don't see often.

I got the sweetknobs.com Stainless Steel one on order. It's well priced and looks very 'home made' which I dig.

I like it! I think not enough people view this thread!

have you had an opportunity to test it out, or is that saved for the weekend?

haha, thanks mr. zman.

i did try it out today, in fact. it's very good, the gates are crisp and short. the weight makes it easy and non clunky feel.

i should've just gotten this in the first place instead of going with that pw knob...

I got this one

SweetKnobs.com Stainless Steel

400+ grams, great price, any size, great quality, good stuff.

Does anyone know the weight of this shift knob? EDIT: Found it buried in PWJDMs sponsor thread, it's 508 grams. Here is the thread page for ya'll. Password:JDM wants your feedback! What parts would you like to see us make?

How about the ergonomics of the knob itself. Does it feel proper?

yes, the twm feels perfect. that was the main issue i had with the pw knob. it's a small diamer with spherical/egg-like top. if a ball shaped, it needs to be larger; otherwise the knob slips out of the hand going into quick gear changes into 2nd. there's a reason why knobs are less round at the top when narrow.

the big type-r knob is big + not round at top. makes it
