counter-weighted shift knobs
 
http://www.nipponracing.com/media/greddy_counter.jpg

My bro is getting me this knob. Its a 13.5 oz. I was just wonder what are ur opinions on counter-weighted knobs?

WideBodyEK 12-06-2003 11:45 PM

thats a good shift knob,..pretty heavy,..i liked it ,...i borrowed it from a friend to test it out (im a shift knob whore,..i got 6 of them :oh: ) ,..counter weights make shifting a little smoother and easier

somebody told me that counter weighted hsift knobsare hardon ur shifting system. Also leaving your hand on the shift all the time is also supposedly bad??:confused:

The Skunk2 one is about 15.5 Ounces.

I really liked it. But like Widebody, I like to change knobs. :)

Too much talk about knobs on this board.

So do I, but virtually every place that I've contacted is backordered on them indefinitely. I even contacted Skunk2 and they said that they couldn't keep up with demand. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait:sad:

eBay had an abundance.

For some reason there's a shortage all of a sudden.

ebay had an abundance of knockoff skunk2s,..i think skunk2 is the new "JDM" knob,..so thats why i think its on backorder

asiandoood 12-08-2003 11:45 PM

Me too.

Is that the US console or the JDM one?

HatchVX 12-09-2003 11:34 AM

that is USDM

Outxider 12-09-2003 11:37 AM

its acutally a USDM audio console and i pick it up off ebay from a guy that regularly sells em. i got it for 125 shipped. the jdm version has a different ashtray and the cigarette lighter is on the opposite side and it bulges out on the left hand side. if u have a usdm car, get the usdm one. its not a strictly jdm part. ask asiandoood for his pics on his, he has a real JDM audio console.

Most of the ones on eBay were sold by a seller I know, they are 100% real :)

Your ITR knob is HEAVIER than the Skunk2? I think you don't have the ITR one... but maybe the CTR one. The Ti R should be lighter than the Skunk2...

:werd: Hence the need for changing knobs often.

Or what I do is, use the Spoon wristbands on the knob for a few minutes until it either warms up or cools down :thumbup:
