You can install it either way, However I recommend the ring on the outside for grip and sizing. Otherwise your hand will be partially grabbing the boot while shifting. It also looks better IMO on the outside. I could easily see the boot leather wearing quickly if you opt it underneath the boot. The boot, ring, and shifter sit flush under either (look/feel) method you choose. Try both to see what one you like better if you go with the titanium shifter.

How's the weight of the titanium shifter? I like a weighted feel. The factory ball design is a nice feel shape wise, but it is very light.

More weight but far from heavy... Feels much sleeker than the factory knob by far...

Added high flow cats this past Saturday. Love the aggressive sound and added power, too bad it's been raining since Sunday and I won't drive it again until the sun comes back out!

Clean Ride !

Some updated pics...

I have placed the red background under the Nissan logos on the front and rear, like the pics of the black Nismo s-tune seen in another thread. I have also added the Nismo wheels, which eliminate the need for spacers.

I'll post up some daytime pics when I have a nice day to do so.

Love the color and the car looks great but I'd like to see it with the S-tune spoiler.

Thanks. I don't really like the looks of either Nismo spoiler, so you will probably never see it. I think the stock spoiler keeps the lines and shape of the car in tact. The Nismo spoilers both seem to look awful from certain angles. I won't say I'll never do it, but very unlikely.

Oh by the way, I ordered the "FAIRLADY Z" rear deck emblem today. I hear it will add at least 100whp!

not to be rude or anything..... i thought the nismo rims were new in box.............

antennahead · 10-17-2009, 11:56 AM

You're not selling the Nismo rims?

frost · 10-17-2009, 11:58 AM

Hopefully won't be selling as new now.

Smallywood · 10-17-2009, 12:01 PM

No I still have the NIB wheels as well, I bought 2 sets. Nismo wheels are the best, hands down... If I don't sell them I will just take them back.
