The O in the word Nismo. It's just what the lettering looks like. You'll like either version my friend.

just read through every post in this thread, thinking about the titanium knob. hmmmm

Also anyone feel free to post more pics of the titanium knob. Or the other knobs also, I haven't completely ruled out the others.

I have this on my 350Z and I love it. It's a little pricey but definitely worth it.

Yea my philosophy with this car is get exactly what I want and don't worry about price so much. But yea definitely thinking about this knob, seems like some people had some trouble getting the oem knob off and some just bare handed it. Sounds like it gets pretty hot in the summer also, and probably super cold in the winter (I drive through the winter). I'll probably pull the trigger eventually, but we'll see.

I gotta be honest here. I really liked this knob...but for me, it didn't work out. There's two reasons why I sold this shifter after having it for ~1 month:

1)I'm a palm shifter, so I tend to grip the knob from the top as opposed to gripping it like you might a joystick.
2)Since I'm a palm shifter, I needed a something that was larger in circumference.

Just my two pennies.

Ps. I ended up getting the Password JDM Type II

Yea it's something to think about. I palm shift sometimes, but I switch it up too so I don't think it would be a huge deal for me

i tried that nismo titanium knob, the jdm type2 knob, and now running biggie type-r knob.

i would rank the knobs like this:

biggie type-r
type-r
stock
titanium nismo
jdm type2

the type2 knob has a weird egg shape at the top that tends to slip out of my hand. the titanium knob is square at the top while thin in shape, i didnt have mis-shifts. biggie and standard type-r knob has the best of both worlds, shape and weight. stock knob is also good. i use it on my G.

There's a really good chance that I'll be moving to the biggie type-r soon.

While I like the PWJDM, I wouldn't mind something a little bigger in circumference and a little heavier. While the biggie is larger, it still appears to maintain a relatively low profile.

Ken, how does the biggie compare in height to OEM?

Ah, found an old post of yours, Ken:
"the weight is impressive. it's shorter than the pwjdm and gates are even crisper. "

I actually like those 2 type r knobs. so the type r and big type r are heavier than the titanium? I see that type r is 440 grams, big one is 600 grams. Anyone know how much the stock knob weighs? Also any pics?
