Not too keen on the look of that... looks like someone with excessive scrotum around their private...

The excess skin... err.. leather, I mean, needs to be circumcised...

I Like the first one. As i Know it is the M45 Leather shift knob with modified shift column.

I guess have to DIY as no body sale that.

I was looking through the G35 Forum and found this design:

This design just blew me away, he used the sifter plate from a manual v35 and basically added a Razo shift knob with a custom boot...it looks awesome, sits very low and the boot is well constructed and the manual ring adds a very nice clean touch...now the thing that bugs me is how does he change the gears? push the whole assembly down?

dont personally liek that look.. if u want that look get a manual..

i feel its like putting HSv badges on a regular commodore or somthin like that.. just a massive wank.. but hey thaz jus imo..

i agree, (lol i was gonna put a statement in saying that 'its not like not proud my AT' )....but the reason i like it, is that its executed to well compared to the momo shifter and the DIY one...you just cant tell its not factory...

But i guess the finish is from how well you can pull the job off...i think yeh shifter design 1 is best....lol but i might still go for the manual look if i get the resources.

    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
