need some feedback from people who have the B&M and also CE STS thanks! finally planning to get a sts

 

B&M 100%...had mine for 2 years...simple to install and can't see how I drove without it b4.

 

i dont see a justifiable cause to spend 5X what i paid for the same crap. say what you want but i call SRE all the way with the $21 shipped price tag and lifetime warentee against breakage you cant go wrong.

I second that notion on the SRE STS. For 21 dollars shipped, how can you beat that?

 

sorry to be the noob again but what is it we are speaking of?

 

B&M.. Dont be cheap and get the best.. would you rather get NIKE Sneakers or payless sneakers !!!??

 

I have the CE STS and I don't like it so much anymore... Yeah it's adjustable but the first time adjusted it and screwed the set screw in, it stripped on me. It also hits in 1,3,5 on the front and mine is set to less than 3/4. Of course some of this could be due to the shifter bushing as well, so I can't say 100%. I also have the 20th annv. shift **** and love it!

 

B&M alllll the way

 

Sure, they garauntee it for life and will replace it when it breaks.

But, will they come out to tow your car a few thousand miles when you're on a road trip and your shifter breaks? Whoops, now you've spent 1000x the cost of your shifter to have your car towed, and then 5x to replace it with a B&M.

I love my B&M.

SRE, installed mine a few weeks ago, no problems, and i havent heard of anyones breaking.

 

i dont know one person with the SRE that has had it break on them and it looks like a GREAT quiality piece. I daily slam gears and its holding up just great along with a dozen others i know that has had them for a while. Think what you want but ill take the risk at $21 i think its a great deal.

 

exactly, theres plenty of people here on the org with the SRE, and i havent heard one story of it breaking. but do what you want, its your money, not mine

 

Does the SRE hit the console?Where is the best plase to get it?

 

B&m ........

 

no it does not hit the console at all, its GREAT! ebay is your friend

 

ive had no issues with my SRE whatsoever. neither has joosdawg. not hard to shift, or get into gears either. no problems with missing gears while racing. i got mine off ebay for 21 shipped

 

Could you guys give a name of the ebay seller you got it from?Thank you.

Ive had my SRE longer than joosdawg and echo, also Dave Sz had it before me, i tested it on daves car, and put it in mine. The quality in the welds looks great, and there have been no problems with it. ive had prob about 30 runs total at the track with this slamming into gears, and not a single problem, and dont forget the random spirited runs that i have

 

At the above link its said that for maxima there are some bolts needed not included.What are those bolts and where can I get them?Thank you.

 

just need one bolt to stick through it with a nut or i guess if you really want to you can use the stock bolt, but thats it. -Ryan

 

i have the courtesy nissan sts which is supposed to be a B&M copy, i had no idea what i was missing.

Courtesy Nissan STS: (5 Stars)
Stock Shifter: (1 Star)

 

i hate when people are incompetent and spell ecKo wrong (mr. duck) lol. Yea, i also got the feel for the SRE in Dave Sz car as well. No problems with mine, and I also can be a little hard on it in the streets or at the track.

 

So whats better:SRE or Courtesy Nissan STS? And does any of them hit the heat shield or its good?Thank you.

 

even though i don't have either, i'd have to say SRE considering the Courtesy is no longer made. I called them after they had stopped production/sale of it and they said they hoped to replace it within a few weeks, but that was early last summer, IIRC. and even till now, nothing has come to replace it. I would vouch for SRE as I have only heard surprisingly good comments for it and the price put me over the top. I hope to buy one from e-bay by the end of the week assuming they're aren't all gone on account of this thread.

 

I have ordered one SRE already

 

dont worry even if the auction is over and theres none left you can find the guy and email him and he will still sell you one as thats exacly what i did .

-Ryan

 

B&M... I love mine....

 

does the SRE stand shorter than the stock height, and did u guys use your stock ***** or diff. ones ?

 

I plan to us my AE **** as soon as I order it.

 

its a lot shorter than stock height, and i use my AE shift **** with it. looks very nicely, especially with the shift boot i ordered from the GD. Ten times better than stock, the throws are significantly shorter, and no problems shifting. I dont get why you would pay so much more for simply a name. But maybe my thought process is messed up.

 

the B&M is a VERY nice shifter for our car. as someone pointed out to me earlier on another product, you are not just paying for the nambe but rather the peace of mind of having a quality product that will work as it is suppossed to as well as fit like a glove. a good brand usually has the customer service to back it up also, so if something does go wrong, it is not always a headache to resolve the problem.


however, $$$ is an issue for me and i just can't justify spending that much on just a shifter, where there seems to be a very decent one for a fraction of the cost. if the cheap one is in fact cheap, i will have learned a lesson the hard way, but also the cheap way. I am not worried about it breaking and getting stranded as it is steel and i don't tend to drive THAT spirited.

 

can somebody throw up a pic of of the sre installed? I got the (I found out later) funky aluminum "nismo" shifter which so far I'm liking...the throw is shorter but its too tall, how much shorter is the sre?

 

its a lot shorter... perfect height IMO, looks great, 1000 times better than stock.

oh and id say the welds are so so, im pretty positive they'll be fine for just a shifter and won't break, but on mine at least there was undercut on 3 out of the 4 welds.. it should hold up fine tho. undercut = weak welds

just buy it and see for yourself, its only 20 bucks

 

Dont mind my dirty floor or worn shiftknob

 

wow..i havent been keeping up with my thread lol. thanks for the info guys

 

i have the ce sts and i love it. i think if u break a sts u have issues with ur control. i love mine but it did sit kinda forward, but i got a 5th gen tranny and it sits right inthe middle

 

Thanks man, that really does look sweet, so much better than my setup, ima get one

 

Joosdawg (or anyone that knows for that matter), is that a picture of the stick in 1st gear? If not, that's WAY to far forward for my tastes...
