Will a 350Z shift knob fit?

I recently switched to a CF knob and it works great. However it has no weight so making shifts requires extra effort. I really like the ball design of the 350z or G35 stock shift knobs. They have the same shift pattern as our cars too. So my question is if anyone knows if the threads are the same and if I can use these knobs in the TL?

yes. I researched and I didn't find a specific answer, but I read that a guy tried to put an s2000 knob in his 350z and couldn't because the threads were different. Kinda the same thing. So I shared my answer.

Yeah, no one answered my question then I figured out the answer and decides to share it in case someone else was wondering the same thing. Then I got carried away and had a little fun.

It would probably be possible to make it work if the hole on the knob could be drilled a little bigger and use an adapter. But that knob is $130. For a stock knob. So I don't know if it'd be worth it.

You are a little kookie and I'm not sure it's healthy talking to yourself. It's almost as bad as referring to yourself in the third person. Despite that, Ginter thinks you can use a 350Z knob - drill a bigger hole in it, screw the thread pattern (intentional pun), and pop a plastic cap in it (like most aftermarket knobs).

I loved the 350Z knob. Right now I have something that feels just like it (RAZO - metal round ball (as opposed to a metal square ball?), something a la THIS). I wish I was home, I'd upload a photo.
