Yikes I got a price of 252.00 USD (retail over 300.00!) plus shipping for this. I dont think I need it that bad, but who knows =) I do like it though.

Shift boot would be a must. RHD version would be nice if you can find it.

Definately would need a shift boot retrofit so it wouldn't look so awkward.

What could be used to cover the silver labeling part on the gtr shift knob

Jordo! · 02-28-2012, 04:27 PM

You'd probably have to have it polished off to be smooth, which would look better.

I'd like to see a retrofit of the G37 boot -- I don't like the big "poofy" boots on AT's. A slimmer one looks better.

That's a good idea. What kind of place would be able to polish it off?

Probably a jeweler or anyplace that works with metals should be able to do it. Just depends how deeply the lettering is engraved. If not too deep, shouldn't be a big deal. Only issue is whether its SS or chrome -- if the latter, the chrome will flake off in the process. Still, how hard can it be?

Take the GT-R engine and drivetrain and swap it under that shifter handle - then you got somethin.

Would a overlay be good to cover the badging on the gtr shift knob?

That might work...

Somebody should just make a replica shift knob that looks like the GT-R for us.

Sorry, but it took me a while; it turned out great. I feel it was the last missing piece of the car.
