Was originally thinking about the Password JDM Balanced Shift Knob because the red handle would go great with the red interior of my 40th. There’s also something about the PWJDM logo with the Japanese writing on the band of the knob that appeals to me in the Z. I’m just not sure how functional this knob is being that it’s a bit lighter than stock. Seemed to have a lot of fan fare when it came out though. Retailing for $60
Then theres the PWJDM Type II Knob that seems to have gotten overall positive reviews with one review stating it was garbage. $40 seems like a real bargain for this.
Also interested in the TWM typeR knob. I think the Biggy type is the way to go ?
Forum members please chime in on these and other recommended knobs if possible ! Thank you. I am aware the Hebi Bebi is the way to go but I don’t think I’m ready to drop that kind of coin on a knob.

I have the stainless steel version PWJDM Type II. About 2cm shorter than stock and weighted. Finish and weight are hard to beat for the money. My only dislike is that it's still top-heavy and I found myself holding the lower side with no shaping to shift quicker. If you were local I'd let you straight up borrow it.
I switched to the Nismo GT Ti. Lighter, but also quicker and more accurate shift setup for me. The profile carries downward for a more versatile feel, and the TWM Type R will probably achieve the same but with more weight. For me, weight hardly matters vs. shape.
The synchros and rev hang will only let you shift so fast on a regular basis.
