Nismo GT Ti FTMFW!! Or a Tommy Kaira Heibi Bebi if you can afford it, but I've never held it so iono how comfortable it is, but it sure is BALLERRRR. I do love my Nismo GT Ti, wish it was a little bigger, but then again I have pretty big hands and it's still comfy.

I like the trust 6mt knob

Thats sweet looking intgr8r! Matches with the dash looks good man.
|
Is that the Forged Performance knob?
What's the weight on this knob?? |
Tommy kaira Hebi bebi shift knob! i love mine! a little pricey and a bit hard to find though

What dranom said...
Not exactly cheap, but the feel and weight is perfect... the Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi (that's FOB English for "heavy baby" btw) is better than most of the shift knobs available, and makes most other shift knobs feel like crap in your hand. While the price may be shocking to some, IMO, it's worth every penny. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...tommykaira.jpg BTW, can you believe I took this pic with my crappy camera phone? |

What's the weight on this knob?? CNC'd from 303 Stainless Steel didn't weigh it myself, but from other info posted elsewhere Weight: 311.5 grams or 11 ounces or 0.67 lbs OE Knob: 210.6 grams or 7.4 ounces or 0.46 lbs & shorter than OE (pic from drsifu1) http://lh5.ggpht.com/vphan17/SGGs7mG...0/IMG_2114.JPG & a quote from THK who created this knob 303 stainless-steel was chosen for its mass, durability and heat properties. Titanium was originally considered, but proved to be more troublesome to deal with (for my machinist). It's only advantage being better thermal properties. Even then, thermal conductivity of different alloys of titanium vary wilder across the chart. I did like the fact stainless steel was twice the density of titanium. The secret to a solid and direct shifter is mass. I had an early prototype made out of 6063 aluminum alloy. It looked really sharp, but it just didn't feel right (too light). Every shift felt very cheap and hollow ... much like the oem knob. We won't even get into how ridiculously hot that sucker would get just under the sun of a mild 85-deg. day; easily causing 3rd-degree burns if one were not wary. Into the trash that one went! Under nearly all circumstances ... the SS knob will be warm to the touch. Only under the most extreme condition will it get extremely hot. |
