The short shifter itself won't hurt the gearbox at all (if designed properly).

BUT the gumbi behind the stick can! All it does is shorten the throw so you have to be much more concious of, and precise with what you're doing with your clutch and gear stick in unison.

Say your a boy racer and like to smash second gear when taking off. The longer throw of the standard gear stick provides a slower, smoother engagement of your synchros' and the occasional mess up only results in a minor crunch were as a short shift will engage the gear much quicker with less movement by you working your synchros' harder and if you mess up, possibly a much nasitier result! :angry:

And thats not including the current condition of the gearbox and synchros'.

If you adapt your driving it can be a very useful and enjoyable mod!

yeah ellie is right, just means by shortening the throw in the shifter you can physically apply more pressure to the gearbox/synchros etc making bad shifts much worse. Make sure the clutch is adjusted properly and learn to use it and it shouldn't be an issue.

There are C's shortshifter kits being sold by Gr33dy in the groupbuys or business sellers section. Have a look there for prices, i've heard its not too difficult to fit yourself if you aren't bad with tools

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
