Need advice from all my kindly friend here.

Its 100% prefrence, if you dont know the diffrence, then get either. I have used niether, so i say get either. But when people begin to post they will likely go either way, because like i said its prefrence. But I expect most people to say B&M because I've read a lot of people here say how great it is

Dont get the nismo!!!!!!! The shifter itself isnt any shorter.
If you are really looking for a shifter with really short throws and a short shaft go with B&M or C's. I have a feeling that you might be the type of person that will be greatly dissapointed with the nismo. Go to www.zilvia.net and look under the reviews section for more info.

I have a B&M short throw shifter and I really like it. Its one of the best I know of. It very precise and tight. It'll take awhile to get used to also because youll put it into 3rd instead of 1st alot. That was my problem anyways.

yea.. i heard of OBX but I would prefer to have something that's realiable especially you drive everyday and shifter is very important. I don't want to save those couple dollars and ended up spend more in the future for another shifter.

as someone above mentioned earlier the Nismo is just a solid shifter, not any shorter. There is a great review section about all three of those shifters on Zilvia.net.

I have the B&M short shifter and the quality of the shifts has greatly improved over anything ive ever felt. I got it form PD racing in canada for $205 plus like $20 in shiping. It was well worth it!!!
