I really, really like the look of the nismo *****. This one in particular:



I generally hold the stock shifter like I would a **** anyway. Can anyone that has the nismo tell me how different it feels? What do you like and what do you not like about it?

 

You feel a lot more vibration from the tranny with this ****. That doesn't really affect it much since you shouldn't keep your hand on the **** when you aren't shifting. Shifts feel a lot shorter. Feels a lot sportier than the stock ****. Takes slightly more effort to shift because of less leverage. Summer sun gets this **** really hot and it hurts. I've been using this know for over a year and I'm happy with it. Occasionally I'll change to OEM for a couple days just to have something different.

 

The shift **** itself is smaller and can feel better in your hand (although I never thought so), but the shifts with this lighter **** is not as smooth as stock. Look for a weighted shift **** instead.

 

yea these bad boys are really small haha dont look like much fun to use at all

 

i have this one, i really like the feel to it... i only wish it was heavier, it does make shifting smoothly a bit harder

 

every girl that got into my car asked me if they could sit on it.

 

I dont agree with this part. I've actually have less vibration in the shifter with the nismo. And shift shouldn't feel shorter, the **** is just shorter. In order for shifts to be short you'll need a short shifter not a short ****.


OP,
If you dont like the oem shift ****, try g37 shift ****. Its oem weight, smaller, and more attractive looking.

true thing is the the knobb gets extremely hot in summer. I use a wrist band sometimes to shift or I suck it up and touch it bare hand.

I was thinking of selling mine and swapping to a G37 shift ****. 100.00 from Riverside Infiniti.

Overall its a good shift ****, looks great and stylish.

 

Shorten where you hold the shifter and the shifts will get shorter already... just not as effective as extending the shifter under the pivot point.

 

not sure if you correcting me or agreeing with me.

but a shorter shift **** does not shorten shifts. If anything just brings your hands closer the leather boot.

 

^ Or in other words, a shorter shift **** shortens the distance your hand travels from first to second, from second to third, vice versa.

I never liked the OEM shift **** just because it doesn't have a nice weight to it. I don't feel any more vibration than I would from the OEM ****, and on top of all I personally feel my throws have been much more precise.


Unfortunately, I don't have the Nismo ****. I have the Tommy Kaira 'Hebi Bebi', but I would presume some of the benefits are shared amongst high-end shift *****.

 

I rock the titanium nismo - i like it

I enjoy the kind of tighter\ less luxury feel it provides me with. Gotta hit your shifts a big "firmer." I enjoy it so far had it for a few months.

Also looks bangin with the interior =)

 

I have that same one you have pictured, its an awesome shift **** and it definitely makes shifting feel "easier" and more precise in a way. I like the way it almost made my car feel like it had a short shifter in it, I think that you should definitely get the ****

 

Exactly.

LightsOut, don't make me draw it out for you...

I have the same and absolutely love it. Much more comfy in my hands than any Nismo I've ever had. And with the short shifter I have, the ball shape is easier to use than the grip style shift *****.

 

i have this i love it
