Re: Gear Head Porn! XXX Beware!!!!
So, (reading between the lines and making a guess) ...
The B&M shifter is an improvement over stock, and the Bill Bordeaux ZF-6 shifter is another step up (in quality/performance). True statement? How does the Hurst shifter compare? Since I got my ZR-1 I've been wondering if a replacement aftermarket shifter would be better. I'm especially not fond of the reverse lockout design. Not very ergonomic (for me, anyways). |

The b&m is a step back from stock. They don't even make it anymore. From what I hear Hurst and Bill are both top notch. Bill was easy to deal with and has a great reputation also.

Re: Gear Head Porn! XXX Beware!!!!
My son owns a 350Z. When he gets a chance to drive my ZR, he always comments how he likes the positive "notchiness" of the Hurst. Very mechanical feel of it going into gear. I have had 2 of them and loved them both. Did not have opportunity to try either the ZFdoc or B&M.

Re: Gear Head Porn! XXX Beware!!!!
I've tried both. Bill's short throw shifts the best as stated the other shifts better than stock.

Re: Gear Head Porn! XXX Beware!!!!
The Hurst shifter is also designed by a ZR-1 owner that used to be on this forum.
I got one of the first batch, before he sold the design to Hurst. Very good short throw shifter.
