Your reviews are perfect man I bought the ijdmtoy light and watched your video I was just about to buy this shift knob and wanted to look up a RUclips video on it and you were the first one good job my dude
It looks like a nice shift knob but I think that I would prefer a leather-wrapped knob, as I drive with leather driving gloves and the leather-to-leather cohesion allows for a light touch on the knob. The same applies to the leather-to-leather cohesion of the glove to the steering wheel. I would definitely go for a short shift conversion for this shifter, as I did for my Porsche 944s years ago. I'm probably going to get a 2019 370z sport coupé soon, and so these things are interesting to me.
Jim Nesta that is what I’m finding with my new setup. This is better for a daily driver setup. But my car has changed a lot since and I need to go your route soon haha
I got one of these for my 350z . No matter how i adjusted the set screw , the knob bottomed out about 1/8 turn passed where it needs to be. So, it you back it off and line it up, its loose . I doubt if thread lock will fix it so its going back . Disappointing.
Is the fairlady laser etch optional? I’m looking for a shift knob for my g35 coupe. I like the nismo and the mishimoto shift knobs. This one looks very nice but i don’t have a fairlady. Would you recommend the M Spec over Nismo or Mishimoto?
George Nino it isn’t optional :(. To be honest, I like this one over both. The nismo doesn’t have much weight to it compared to this and feels a little more flimsy to me. This one feels solid.
Ricky Olaes no worries! Either way you wouldn’t be disappointed. I would’ve kept running my stock shift knob if it wasn’t worn out. But since the car will be tracked soon, I wanted something that can handle abuse.
Johnny Maui I’m glad you replied man because I actually dm’ed you on IG about your csc delete. Were there any major symptoms when your Z died or did the csc just completely went out, out of no where?
Mayykool there weren’t any major symptoms long before it happened. The only bad sign was the night before my car completely crapped out, was the gears grinding even though my clutch was fully depressed when shifting into gears.
Mayykool and my bad man! IG literally doesn’t notify me of any DM messages unless it’s from followers. I️ think it auto filters it as spam or something. I’ll keep a mote careful eye out.
It’s funny how your shift knob came lose all by itself, compared to the shift knob on the 350z. You’ll end up destroying the oem shift knob on 350z, just to get it out.
This z1 mspec shift knob did not fit my 2016 370z.. I contacted z1 and see what solutions they offer but for now I am very unhappy with this shift knob. The set screw at maximum length still does not contact the shifter, so be aware, I am thinking I will have to use lock tight..
Tone Win awkwardly, it doesn’t get that hot during summer. And it gets stupid hot here in the south. The shift knob just gets hella warm. But nothing that makes me go “oh shit!”
Great video Johnny! We're glad you like the knob.
Z1Motorsports you guys did awesome with it!
Thank you! You did an excellent job with this video as well!
But can i buy a short shifter and fit this on top? I love the look of it, but i want an actual short shifter
pulled the trigger and bought one, loving it. thanks bro, would have never seen this product if it wasn't for your vid
Rodney LaTulipe no worries! I’m glad I was able to help you in some way. You’ll love it.

Michael Conde thank you so much man! 😭
I have a 350z and when I threaded it in, it wasn’t centered how can I center?
Just ordered mine, this video convinced me👌🏽
Jacob Avila Ayooo! You won’t regret it!
Sick video man! I loved the B-roll at the beginning of the video too. I've been thinking about getting that shift knob and I'm sold! keep it up, man!
Hey great video! Plan on picking it up myself tomorrow. Do you know how much it weighs?
Chlodie thank you! The shift knob by itself is 6.5oz or 0.4lbs

Is now an option
If you had this knob vs a brand new stock knob. Which do you prefer?
Ricky Olaes this one. It feels better in the hand and knowing the threads inside last longer and/or won’t strip like the OEM one is awesome haha
Cool. Thanks. I was debating since my stock knob is still in decent shape. Thanks for the input.
Ricky Olaes no worries! Either way you wouldn’t be disappointed. I would’ve kept running my stock shift knob if it wasn’t worn out. But since the car will be tracked soon, I wanted something that can handle abuse.
My stock knob is still in great condition and looks great.
Anyone know if this will fit a Z31?
Is this a short shifter? Caz i saw everyone else need to get under the car and cut pipe in order to install it
Renfotzer not at all my man! It’s plug and play. I have a stock shifter :). You’ll love it man
Renfotzer this is a shift knob not a short shifter
Digging those Tundra floor mats!
grocerylist HAHAH! I’ll fix that soon hahahaha
Where can I get one
Rocketbros TV Z1 Motorsports my man!
Does it get hot while parked in the sun?
Mayykool kind of. But not unbearably hot. It’s more warm af if anything haha

Yooooo love cold sun by CHVRN
Awesome cinematics and edits on your intro! How much did it cost?
Pedro Rivera thank you! Z1 carries the shift knob for $88. I didn’t pay for shipping since Z1 is near where I live haha
Definitely worth it!
Pedro Rivera heck yeah man. I honestly love how it feels and sits

I called today they said it does fit.
That shit going to hot in the summer time. Put a sock over it lol
Tone Win awkwardly, it doesn’t get that hot during summer. And it gets stupid hot here in the south. The shift knob just gets hella warm. But nothing that makes me go “oh shit!”
Cant be a fair lady if there's no back seat lol. Great knob thou. Love Z1 products 🤙🏾
