Shift Knobs (yes, plural) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

**Phlip** · 04-12-2007, 04:36 PM

See this?

Looks like a few pool balls, huh?
Well let's phlip them over and see what the other side shows:

Yes, they're drilled and tapped to be used as shift knobs. The beauty of them is the size and weight as they fall to the hand.
Here is the one I am using myself in my car:

The reason the box looks so picked over is because I allowed the premium members first crack at them, they picked out the ones they wanted, paid and I shipped, most of them have them in hand already, a couple already in their cars, even.
Here is the 6 mounted in user "fromxtor's" Titan (his 240SX was not at his home for the duty, yet):

"tknbkthrsdy4anfg" provided a photo of the blue 2 in his S13:

Cost? $35.00 shipped to the US, $45.00 shipped to Canadia.
... the 4 remaining in the photo are what I have left after the premium members ravaged the set, but this WILL be an ongoing thing, with some new ideas hidden under the table to come later.
PM me for remaining availability and paypal/payment information.

Thats like saying Flavor Flav is sacriligeous for wearing fucking clocks around his neck. :shakes head: I also heard Jesus was into strip clubs, not poolhalls.

Duh.. the 12 Apostles are 1-7, 9-12 & 14. Cueball is Jesus, 8ball is god and 13 is the DEBO! 15 ball is Michael.

Nice attempt at editing, I can see a WHOLE lot more than you thought I could...
I suggest you check your tone with me, I am neither white or trash... I named my specific reasoning for having what I have, and apparently your opinion is in the minority on the subject, so I suggest your keeping it to yourself if you don't have something productive to say.

Ikant · 04-12-2007, 08:09 PM

i meant because i worship pool, not to mention, is Christianity the only religion? sounds a little religiocentric up in here.

**mrmephistopheles** · 04-12-2007, 08:47 PM

Well DUH. All muslims and jews and whatever are dumb!

Ok enough derailing.
Shut up unless you want a billiard ball for a shiftknob.
If you want to talk to me about religion, PM me.
I don't like to classify myself in terms of religion, but the closest thing to what I am is agnostic. My remark at the beginning of this post is meant in humor (as evidenced by the

)

'90RPS13 · 04-12-2007, 09:22 PM

dope product, do they feel natural in your palm?

youngmanvr4 · 04-12-2007, 09:51 PM

I thought this thread was about pool ball shift knobs

Good luck my friend.

fromxtor · 04-12-2007, 09:52 PM

^^ Bump for a really solid shifter feel, I really wish I could have got one of these for my B15. The carbon Nismo knob weighs like half an ounce. Wow Alec our cars look pretty close to the same in the console area, except I don't have carpet.

Bryants95240sx · 04-12-2007, 09:55 PM

Yeah it fits in my hand nice, but i have big hands.

'90RPS13 · 04-12-2007, 10:11 PM

I scraped my Nismo Ball for it. I love the feel and weight throw.

**Phlip** · 04-12-2007, 10:54 PM

*UPDATE*
I have been paid for the purple-striped 12 ball, it is now wrapped in plastic and boxed up and labeled, will ship tomorrow at noon EST...
Remaining available are 1, 11 and 14

You will love it. Don't believe me? Find me at drift battle and check it out. Fits hella more flush then most everyone's wheels.

zugoi · 04-12-2007, 11:23 PM

Wow the material inside the pool ball is strong enough to tapp? When i first saw the picture i thought you would just drill a hole and slip in an adaptor that most universal shift knobs use.

Yes, it is. Drilling a hole and sticking an insert in would greatly cheapen it and increase the chances of ripping it off and hurting yourself.
... this has been a month in the making in premium members, I been riding around with one the whole time personally.

... everyone else:
I am going to bed now, to work tomorrow and out of town immediately after work... I am not ignoring any PM I should so happen to receive if I don't get near a computer between now and Sunday afternoon.
"pr0ject TRUENO," you are packaged and ready to roll, I work a mile and a half from a post office, so you're good.

'90RPS13 · 04-13-2007, 12:13 AM

Zugoi: The one Phlip talks about on his car, yeah, I saw it/shifted it before any of them were even finished. So figure about 3-4 weeks now since I have seen it and its still holding up as of tonight when I went over there. So figure in DDing them for 3-4 weeks. Seems sturdy enough for me to have bought one. I have had several dealings with Phlip, trust me when I can say, you have no worries about recieving anything other then pure satisfaction with your purchase, when/if you buy one.

Now leave the man's thread alone. If you want one, buy one. If you have no feedback or real interest, then dont bother posting and move to the next thread.

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 04-15-2007, 07:52 PM

works perfect. just used it today at irwindale speedway for a drift day event!
os giken twin plate+l.v. shift boot+"philip" shifter= great drift day.

mikey976 · 04-15-2007, 08:53 PM

Screws on right in the place of the factory, and you see the 2 I had from the set just above your post there... You're the first one to ask since then, so I will PM you first when I run the next full wave, cool?

**ThatGuy** · 04-15-2007, 08:58 PM

Drilled and Tapped means that a hole is drilled in the ball, and then a tap is used to match the threads of the stock Nissan shifter. So... YES, it screws on just like a factory knob.

And to make people aware, they've been used on C's/Nismo and B&M/Deluboz (ebay seller) short shifters as well as the stocker.
