I thought I could find the stupid thing for cheap but I was wrong, these are the best prices I found for their quality.

My friend has this one, feels really comfy. Doesn't get too hot or too cold lol key word, works though.
I'd get it if I was looking for a knob.

need more opinions before the purchase. someone I know told me to go for the leather one, anyone know about that nismo one? I personally want the cheapest one I can find but I don't know if the greddy ones suck or not.

Is jspec trying to screw us?

I might get that, metal knobs aren't bad either though

I bought this, with shipping it's only $45. Never had a leather shift knob before so I thought might as well see why people like it. I wanted to get a nismo knob from the start.

looks like it should be comfy to grip. Should look nice. I too need a new shift knob, and boot. Mine are kind of crappy. Hell i need to get a short throw just to fix this massive slop in my shifter. But it will have to do for now lol.

You had to see how I shifted before, with the palm of my hand. Anyone else that tried, pulled the knob off.

Funny you should post today because I got shipping invoice for the knob, but no knob...estimated delivery monday from the website.

I got the knob and it even comes with a sticker that shows the gearing. It's not that bad actually and I put it on near the upper left on the console. All that for a sticker, onto the real deal.

The knob was plastic inside and the threads were far up into it and it wouldn't go on no matter what. Wanna know why? the last guy took a whole roll of electrical tape and 'fabricated' his own gear lever, so THAT'S why the damn stick wouldn't go on there. Took it off with a razor, and there was a lot of it. I cleaned the lever with a bit of brake cleaner and the knob fits perfectly, several dozen turns and it's really tight and the Nismo logo faces perfectly. I'm working on the head so I couldn't drive it but I did some shadow shifting and it feels better than ever. It's a light knob though. Very solid
