All I have to say is that the OEM **** was a b*tch to take off. I tried to salvage it by putting a rubber hose to clamp it. Managed to get 2 full turns in after 45 mins of struggling with it. It didn't get any easier loosening at all until the thing was ready to pop off. I ended up saying screw it cause my hands hurt so much that I clamped it directly to finish the job. As you can guess, my OEM **** is destroyed, but with what a PITA it was to unscrew, I don't even care. Much better gripping it directly, but still no easy task taking the damn thing off. They put way too much Loctite on the ****.

On a side note, the new Trust **** looks much better than stock IMO. Let me know what you think.

Old POS:





New hotness:

 

Man that looks so serious!! congrats! i want to do one in my car but don't want to tear apart mmy stock shifter. what to do?

 

With as much as you have done to your car, its a matter of time before you cave in.

 

Wish you didn't have to rip up the stocker. Looks good. Not exactly my taste though. Nice!

Did it screw on or do you have to use a clamp/locking tool of some type? My momo one on my maxima always came loose over time.


This was always my favorite one from my Z days (Not my car, just like the shift **** setup).

 

It just screws on. No locking tool, but its not going anywhere. The one on the Z looks good, but it reminds me too much of a Ti-tipped *****.

 

Gross!... I can never look at let alone touch a shift **** like that again.

 

mann tat sux!! sux to see everyone rip their stock shift ***** like tat!!

 

i actually like the stock shifter but congrats on the install haha looks like a dog went at it

 

looks a lot better to me as well.. im going to do mine soon to. Thing must get hot as F%@& on a sunny day though..

 

Very nice piece. Looks great.

 

i really wanna get a new ****, but dont wanna mess up my stock one aswell.

 

Get a new **** and don't look back. It's really just a minor mod. Nothing to regret. Once you change it, you probably wont think much else about it until someone ask you about it.

 

hmm. i like that ti-*****. might come in handy one day.. not for me ofcourse ! lolz. what brand and make is that tilto. i wanna get me one.
.
btw. what kind of material is lock-tite made out of, can you spray some kind of solvent to dissolve it ? ANYONE ?

 

Loctite is on the threads...you won't be able to get to it.

 

yupp unless you have super powers like vince
