bubble shift knob - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*smellslikecurry* · 06-11-2004, 01:51 PM

who here has one, how much did u guys pay, and do you have any pics?

i was just wondering how many people rock them...

ICKY · 06-11-2004, 02:04 PM

I have a "sphereical" knob, its got a chrome finnish. Its really nice, its just like the momo globe knob. The thing i dont like about it is i have to wait alittle while in the summer to touch it, its hot as hell. And in the winter, its cold as a block of ice. I would recommend a leather knob. I like mine though, because i got it for free from my brother, and its got a bling bling shine to it.(the only shiney thing i have)

phrozen · 06-11-2004, 04:23 PM

a few ppl on the forums here, more ppl in japan or corolla guys rock em. You can contact okinawalevin on club4ag and he can get you one for like 40 bucks from japan.

Chernobyl · 06-11-2004, 04:26 PM

Someone explain the performance-minded reason why you'd want a bubble shift knob? The ones I've seen are pretty long and don't seem to be very ergonomic. Or do you guys just enjoy your shifters looking like sex toys?

twitchy · 06-11-2004, 04:41 PM

i made a shift knob out of an aluminum doorknob like you would find in an office building...it looked mega bling but i could never get it to attach properly.....as well im a bartender and i can tell you the best shift knob is a Heiniken draft tap handle.

phrozen · 06-11-2004, 05:02 PM

some ppl thinks its cool, there dosent have to be a performance minded reason to have one...

*smellslikecurry* · 06-11-2004, 05:05 PM

Seems to me like it'd be hard to drive with one of those, due to the length.

TUnity2 · 06-11-2004, 09:49 PM

i would recomend the NISMO leather shift knob, looks awsome and feels great.

super duper ultra long shifter.

Bbandit · 06-11-2004, 11:34 PM

hmm performance reason?
It "might" be used to decrease hand movement between steering and shifter
the higher the shifter, the closer it is to the steering wheel.. = less hand movement when shifting and turning/drifting. This is just based on my raw 5 second observations.

another reason i can think of is... JDM Phimp.

s0ldats · 06-12-2004, 01:24 AM

leverage. AND i like my shifter closer to the wheel which is why i have an extension as well.

that180guy · 06-12-2004, 02:13 AM

tis kool shit

i want one...no real point in it.but who cares i want one cuz it looks cool, sue me

twitchy · 06-12-2004, 02:31 AM

what is a bubble shifter?

heated heavy · 06-12-2004, 06:12 PM

shit i contacted okinawalevin awhile back and he told me 60 bucks.
soldats: where did you get your shifter extension...i want one!!

for once we thought alike..i was thinking the same reason

*SimpleS14* · 06-12-2004, 07:46 PM

any pics of this bubble knob? j/w

SilviaDriver · 06-12-2004, 08:06 PM

im guessing its the one in Lindsays car..the long bubble dildo shiftknob

*240trainee* · 06-12-2004, 09:17 PM

I've wanted one for a while, but could never find one. I contacted okanawakevin on 4ag, I hope he gets back to me. I seriously want one of these things!!

heated heavy · 06-12-2004, 11:29 PM

heres the one i was gonna buy off of okinawalevin's wife. but 60 bucks is a bit pricey considering its not round and smoooove and i wanted a white clear color.

matlock · 06-12-2004, 11:56 PM

I personally have a Nismo knob, but I think a Bubble knob would be rad. I think they look really exagerated and stuff. I think im into wierd stuff anyways, but they are a bit pricey.

*240trainee* · 06-13-2004, 07:25 AM

Yea, I want a clear, round one. Like Lindsay's, but clear. I have wanted one of these for so long...... Lol, it's kinda weird.

Hawd · 06-13-2004, 09:41 AM

I'm sure super autobacs in socal carries them shits. I've wanted to get one but haven't had a chance to buy one just yet

bigJ86 · 06-13-2004, 09:44 AM

this is a pic of my old bubble shift knob......had it for almost a year then sold it for $40 bucks(what i paid for it)

jesse

s0ldats · 06-13-2004, 10:35 AM

who is lindsay? some chick that's into big dildo-like shifters?

Thats what i want. I would prefer clear, but as long as it is that round shape, I don't care on the color, pink, blue, clear, etc. Where did you get yours? and if anyone goes to Autobacs, please check for me. I live in Virginia, not quite as many resorces. lol

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!! i wonder wat he has to say bout that

*240trainee* · 06-13-2004, 05:01 PM

lol. Thats what I was thinking....

*SimpleS14* · 06-13-2004, 05:18 PM

ahhhh.....now I know what that is. Yea I would be interested in having one of those things if I can get it cheaper than a NISMO knob. I'm in VA...so you Cali folks have to help me out.

*240trainee* · 06-13-2004, 08:37 PM

Come on kouki, no S13 now..... lol. And I don't think it will be cheraper than a Nismo, at leats not much, when it comes down to it.
