Nismo GT Weight? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Yes I searched, best I could find was this:

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.p...ft+knob+weight

and a bunch of for sale topics. I am in the market for a new shift knob and I am looking for something pretty hefty but I don't want bare metal (Greddy), I'd prefer something leather. I wish the Momo Airleather knobs were heavy. But anyways, I want to get a NISMO GT knob, just wondering if anyone has a weight in grams or whatever on this thing. Thanks.

I dont know the exact weight of it, but fwiw, the nismo GT is not heavy by any means. Its pretty light imo. I dunno if you've seen it, but you might want to check out a jdm 300zx shift knob. Its similar in design to stock, but its wrapped in leather, but the leather is in two sections and the stitching is red. Its pretty sweet.

:EDIT: Here's a link i just found to one on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...QQcmdZViewItem

Good price too!

its not heavy at all. its sooo small. tiny knobs for tiny japanese people

) i had it, sold it within a week. it sucks ass. now switched back to stock - good weight and big knob. need something else tho

the nismo gt is fairly light because its rubber. i personally think its a little too small, but hey wat r u gonna do?

i can probably get you a very rough weight in lbs if your interested.

oh contrare my friend

the only reason a titanium exhaust is light because its super thin.

you get a compact ball of dense titanium and you got yourself a shift knob!

Yeah I thought about that right after I said that, but I still stand by that titanium and heavy dont go together in my head. Titanium is almost the same weight as aluminum, slightly heavier if I recall correctly. Its just so much damn stronger that you can use way way less of it in comparison to aluminum making it lighter. Whoopsiedaisy!

^ its a metaphore. cuz duracon is still light to my like

Find a stock S14 leather shift knob. The rubber ones weighs a ton (I love it) and the leather wrapped one would feel nice. Makes a short shifter feels very stock like.

You need to get the NextGear MFBFS (mandatory fat bitch for support) that is 17.1 OZ thats equal to 484.7679 GRAMS = thats heavy dude and its bare metal but its the hottest joker I have ever seen. I have the prototype in my car and will take pics when I get out of work.

^ i wanna see that shit. i love heavy knobs. makes the shifts feel better. dunno
