i had a look around once too for a short shift kit, and it ranged from 300-800.. which i thort was pritty nuts. but nar i didnt hear from any1 that it would damage the gear box.. although i wouldnt quote me on that :angry:

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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
