Is this the one? Looks like they sell mostly Bimmer parts.

Rogue is actually $210 as compared to $290 for TWM. Food for though... Unless TWM is that much better, but I'm hearing that Rogue is the way to go.

Yep, exact one I have. You will not be sorry you purchased it.

Only real difference is that the TWM uses a more solid bushing at the shift linkage. That'd be an easy enough DIY but I don't see it commanding an $80 premium over the Rogue.

I did a little more searching and it looks like the guys over at the 350z forum did a group buy (10 or more people) and got a really good deal. Anyone interested in doing a group buy? If so, I can call them on Monday.

Motordyne 5/16" Spacer. If you're still on pretty minimal mods, just do the basic kit.

You can thank me later.

By the way, I didn't want to start a new thread on this, but what is the best shift **** to go with? Any type out there that would be a good upgrade to the stock one?

^Id suggest just any with weight. I got myself a Momo weighted ball shifter locally pretty cheap and matches the interior pretty well. But all in all it just depends on your preference. The weight just helps make it a little smoother and easier to shift.

What are you into? I have a Nismo Titanium shift **** I'm thinking about selling. You can PM me if you'd be interested.

There are several Nismo ***** that are popular in the community, TWM makes some nice ***** and their price reflects that. Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi is probably the most desired in the community, but they're next to impossible to get your hands on now.

I said this is another thread, but its amazing what a good short shifter and a heavy weighted **** will do. Relatively cheap and easy too. Made driving my Audi a whole lot better.

So it looks like the Rogue SS / Tommy Kaira **** are the way to go

How will the **** handle the summer heat though?

For anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to the TK ****, there is the Fat Boy (TK replica/clone) one for about $100:

It's a big hunk of brass. It's gonna get really hot and hold that heat for a few minutes.
