I think we should be over the minimum requirement because we had something like 10 people on the latest signup here, plus 7 from my350z.

 

Yes, we have the requisite min. of people already ... so production is starting as soon as I'm able to find a slot with my machinist.

 

I just placed my order, can't wait to get them in. Thanks for the GB!

 

Just placed an order as well. I'll be looking forward to this shift ****

 

how much is it ...............

 

I will agree that THX is much better photographer than myself. But thats the same ****!

To install, use some channel locks, and twist the stock **** off. The factory often uses thread locker, so you might have to apply a fair amount of force in order to remove the stock piece. You may want to wrap the stock **** with a towel, to minimize the chances of tearing the leather ****. The THX ***** then screws right on. Do NOT use the factory bushing or any factory parts. Just screw the **** directly onto the shaft.

The ***** are $99 plus $5.00 for shipping/insurance. Please try to get your orders in by the end of the week (Sunday). You can expect arrival of your **** in under 3 weeks. And as always, your CC will not be charged until we're ready to ship.

 

what are channel locks and whats a thread locker? Thanks.

 

Channel locks



Thread Locker is some sort of adhesive that keeps the **** from coming loose off the shifter.

That's why you need the channel locks to loosen the ****.

 

Some good pics would be great for this thread

 

D@mn you got me. I wasn't going to order this but I have very low 'mod-willpower' Darn! On the web site it comes up as $99 for everyone. Is the group buy only to get sufficient numbers for manufacture? Not a discount?

 

There is a pic on the FI.com website. Clint might have some better ones.

Go ahead, all the other kids are doing it I bought one of these a few months back on the last run and am glad I did. Feels and looks great - I have gotten compliments non stop, even from my service guys at my Infiniti dealer. As for your other question, I usually dont like to speak for other people but helped start the last group buy and yes, the reason for the GB is to get enough people to commit to buying for Clint to have these made.

 

They are $99 plus $5.00 shipping in the USA. We only produce them in batches of 15-20 minimum, so its essentially a pre-order, but I guess we could call it a GB too. This is not a normally stocked item for us.

 

Thanks for the clarification! Now I just have to deal with the anxiety associated with my 'instant gratification' gene.

 

There are some pics buried in the earlier posts:
