The OBX shifter will get notchy and feel crappy after a few months... save up and go for the B&M - you'll regret the OBX one after a few thousand miles.

My friend has the OBX on his S13 he says it felt like crap until he replaced the rubber ring shifter gasket thing which cost $3 from Nissan, after that he says it was well worth the money.

He's had it for a while so I guess its holding up fine for him. He doesn't grandma his car. You can get those OBX ones for like $70. I'll probably go with the B&M though myself.
