i just recently purchased my sisters '98 200sx and have a question. (i am sure that this was asked previously but i could not find the thread, so i am sorry for posting it again.) i'm 16 and still have not yet got my license (i only have my permit) but i have been thinking of ways to modify the car for about a year now. i have seen people with autmatic cars change the shift knob to make them look like a stick cars and was wondering how i would go about doing so myself. please explain in detail and in simple words because i am still learning car terminology. if you would rather email me with some kind of insturctions you can reach me at blasian_gurlie@hotmail.com thank you so much for your time!

the auto shifter on mine looks like it was designed for old people, big and hard to miss. i've been tryin to find sites on if and how i can go about changing this problem and have come up with nada. if anyone has any suggestions/answers/help that'd be great. and the same goes for the e-brake handle. its not something i can twist off and that sux.
nice pic but you didnt answer my question......how did you do it? because i dont feel like going to a mech. and paying $ for it.....lolz. but anyways, whoever can help me please answer asap.
I know there are threads on here about that, jus try to search better...Im too lazy but ur lucky u didnt get any assholes in the thread yet. The only thing I found funny is that u have been thinking of modding ur car for a year now and u came up with a shift knob Nah Im jus playin wit u man, Im in the same boat, I jus got my lic a few months ago and this shit is addicting...I started with a headunit and now Im $4000 down and nothing but random car shit to show for it...haha be careful, you'll get caught up cause no matter what u got, u will always want something better.
yea, i know what you mean. i have thought out all the mods i want to do and its going to cost me a ton of money. but as long as i like the end result i guess its ok. anyways, the reason i come up with this first was my sister already changed out the head unit, speakers, sub,and added projectors and clear corners so little interior mods poped up first to me for some reason(probably because the kit and paint will cost so much....lolz). i guess i have a good start though. anyways, thanks for all your guy's help.

well... 1CLNB14 is right, all that nonsense with the e-brake and shift nob is going to be expensive as hell. why not start with a more clear idea of what you want to do to your car? for example, do you want
(a) show; or
(b) go
there's no way to do both because making a showy car usually means weight. now, if you just want a sexy daily driver, try for advancing the timing, getting a K&N filter or a W-or-CAI, headers, exhaust, system, etc. Worry about the trim when the performance is done. that's why i'm waiting to drop $4000 in to my engine before i go for the infinity interior swap... :-D

Oh and some strut bars and stuff... I need more money.
well, im going for show, because i dont think that i have the money for the go. hehe....and yea like you said show adds hella weight. but i chose to do this first because my sister already started me off with lights and audio (plus some itty-bitty rims) so anyways, i just thought it would be the next thing to do after new rims and a kit and plus i wanted to know if it was a "at-home" job or if i would have to take it somewhere. well thanks for all your help!

Mine is a Razo, about $150 canadian. The overdrive button is on the top, and you push-down to shift. I'm not a big fan of the joystick/Levoc style, and I did not want to relocate my overdrive button, so This was perfect... plus it matches my blue theme! (also comes in all sliver). This shifter is truely amazing quality! Let me know if you have any questions!
BTW, I was also looking for something to make my auto shifter look good, not in any way trying to make it look like a manual. if you want to do that, just add on a shift boot.
