Ok I found a quick fix to get rid of the gap between the shift boot and after-market shift *****. Takes no more than 5 minutes.
Steps:
1. Buy some extra wide rubber washers with 1/2" hole from local home depot etc.
2. Scissors or something to cut the rubber washer. If the washers are too wide, trim it so it will fit underneath the top of the shift boot.

3. Un-screw your shift ****.

4. The shift boot is held in by 4 clips. Use a flat-head screw driver and carefully pry it off. Then place the rubber washer on the shifter.

5. Put the shift boot back on. And screw in your shift **** til it sits flush with the boot. It should look like this.

I actually really wanted a nismo **** made for the 350z but didn't know if it had the same thread.

Nice write-up.
Haha, I was annoyed too but I took my cousin's 6 speed shift **** off his supra (since he wanted a brand new one) and now my friend plays with it as it was the reverse lock on the supras, haha and now im ok with it.
