7AT shift ****

I have been looking at replacing my shift **** that is wearing out. Also my 3M Di NOC ripped some off while applying! A direct OE G37 **** is crazy money. I have heard that an M45 **** works and they are a bit cheaper. I have seen the B2 and not liking them. I have seen the $27 china leather recover and not fond of it at all. Are there any other options out there? Designs, retro fit, cross fit, anything?

I see used ***** in good condition going for less than $100 on ebay. I wonder if the GT-R shifter is a good fit on the 7AT?

Apparently Chinky Choy knows they will but it looks a bit odd with the different pattern. :-{

Haha never mind the GT-R **** is too stubby. The second option looks a bit odd with alacantra on the sides, I'd much rather have leather or vinyl.

Key word being used : ( If you're getting a shift **** it really should be new bc the used ones, even if it's listed as in good condition, tend to scratch and chip up easier then when they are new out of the box lol

This actually looks pretty good, but from this angle it sits a bit high. But maybe I'm just more accustomed to the 6MT shifter?

That does look nice. So since this one does not use the lower trim ring at the bottom of the **** and looks to be larger in dia, how does the shift boot stay connected and how is this one removed/secured, same eclip at the base?

Been all over the JAP site and can't find that particular shifter.

And yes the personalized heater controls are cool.

I've been looking hard at the 2016 Maxima 4DSC ****. I saw a DIY out there where someone stuck one in a G. I guess there was a minor fitment issue with the trim ring that holds the boot up but overall I think it looks pretty awesome..

I have already coated my aluminum in DI-NOC CF and those heavily embossed may be the reason I can't coat it. Ours is $200+ and this has to be more. I need a used one that I can use a core to tear up and have recovered.
