But in terms of the shifter itself, I know at least with me as anal retentive as I am, if I have it there and the pattern on the knob doesn't match the pattern on the tranny, it will bug me. lol

I hear ya, i think the red start is great in a 40th or like you said with other red bits. I'm the only one who ever drives my car and the pattern wouldn't matter to me. No one around here gives a crap about the Z enough to even notice that the pattern is different. If there is a JDM shifter around and i have the money i'll go with that, but it's not a deal breaker for me. To each their own....

Props for taking the plunge!
I was thinking of ways to lower the knob when I replaced mine and thought about just cutting the metal shaft a bit but there are a few things to consider. You still need to be able to use the pin to secure the knob, and the white inner piece needs to still fit and have enough travel to change gears. Aesthetically, The GT-R knob definitely needs to sit lower, especially since it has a flat bottom portion that isn't tapered like the Z. |

Matches all the red gauges. Close enough anyways. I set my car home app + Torque on my docked phone to a red theme to match the gauges as well, and swapped the dome lights w/ red LEDs too (not so blinding when you use them at night, vs white). Red's a good color inside the 370

You have other red bits, so the red start should look good. Stock Z's do not have any red. At least mine doesn't have any red.
