You are correctly this is not a 'short shifter' because the oem shifter is still being utilized. This **** is however able to achieve an overall reduction in throw length via height reduction that also has a postive effect on the aesthetic department imo. It is just like the feeling you get with the Nismo Ti GT **** you currently own. Only this one went further and the reduction is much more pronounced.
The THX-SS **** is actually heavier than the oem ****, yet another key ingredient in improving the shifter feel. Solid CNC'd stainless-steel contruction assure maximum tactile feedback. No more hollow, rubbery sensation and the vagueness of the oem. You will know exactly which gear you are rowing into. One must try to really appreciate this thing.
Here's are a couple more pics inside the G35 and Z.
Note: the **** may appear gigantic in this shot because a wide angle lense was used. In reality the **** has a very compact and slim profile that is hard to imagine in all of the pics shown thus far.

Okay, got some pics to add to the thread. Thanks Clint for the ULTRA FAST shipping. The **** got here in 2 days, and it is a very nice piece. Anyone thinking about getting a shift ****, I would highly recommend this one. It seems like half the size of the OEM ****, but 3 times the weight. Shifts feel much nicer and more precise, and more "flickable" if that makes sense. Matches well with the silver trim on the interior and adds a nice lil' sporty bling. I give this **** a 10/10 for fitament, fit & finish, overall quality, and it's functional . Get one if you can! JON.

Arash,
It's constructed out of 304-stainless steel ... thus THX-SS.
A more costlier material than aluminum.
I like the Nismo Ti. That was the peice I would have personally gone with. It's a bummer it did not have any provision for the bottom finisher. BTW ... this **** is slimmer than the Nismo in all dimensions. Have a try when you run into me.

JUST GOT MINE! I love it. Clint, one question, when I removed the stock shifter, i noticed that there was a spacer and a rubber fitting in there...I remove those, right? I did, but I wanted to make sure...the throws are so precise now...It's like I'm one with the gear box, no kidding...great product!

Hey Randy, let me know how it feels shifting with the SS, being heavier I can only imagine.

I love it...my car feels like a dif car now...no exaggeration...I'd challenge someone who owns this to argue any point I've made with this mod.
