Made in China Short Shifter (Review)

At least that's where I assume it came from....
I have been seeing these threads on TWM short shifters, B&M shifters etc... and was thinking that would be a nice little mod.... till I saw the price!!
I know I've spent some serious scratch on my G up to this point but I'm done, I won't waste any more dough on her that I'll never get back.

So I see this shifter on Ebay that as far as I can tell is a direct knock off of the B&M shifter selling for $270 at a price of $61 shipped!!
So I figure what the f#ck and pop for it.

Nissan 370Z Z34 Infiniti G37 09-11 Short Throw Shifter | eBay


It came the other day and I threw it in this afternoon, I have to say it's not bad. The only issue I had was the stock reverse lock out plate that you have to bolt on top of the aftermarket piece did not end up at the correct hieght to actually lock out reverse. I simply flipped the plate over and now it seems to work fine.
Shifts are definetly shorter and more direct, I'm running the stock **** for now but will probably pop for a TWM **** eventually.

Two thumbs up for Ebay short shifters!!!!

All the haters can chime in now.........lol!
