...I did and let me tell you - it's amazing ! After few minutes your shifting gets incredibly precise and you will never do the "6-to-1" = blow the engine._

I am thinking of making a template myself, then trace it on a temporary plastic one (ie.plexi), try it out for a while installed temporarily and eventaully having one made out of aluminum and installing permanently

I really don't like the interior. It's Ferrari but interior looks kind of crappy. P.S.350Z's Interior looks way better...And it's just a Nissan... P.P.S. And look at the SHIFTER... Looks like total TRASH
