I bought one from Autobarn i think it wan an extreme or something. I'm at work at the moment and have the packaging at home. I payed around the $200 mark from memory. I to bought one from ebay WASTED my cash. Fitted in my self was a little tricky but got it in the end.

Don't know how the C's one is but mine does make a little noise through the shifter and if you have a metal gear knob can heat up a little to LOL as they don't have any of the noise and heat suppressing material on them.

Look I’ll be honest at the start i was like nop I can’t handle the noise but after a while got used to it. I love it can’t go back changing gears has never been more effortless.

Those ebay ones will fit the rb20,rb30 and sr20 bowes as far as i know.They have the smaller nylon bush at the bottom aposed as to the bigger one found on a rb25det box.

So does a gtr short shifter fit a rb25det box???

I don't think short shifters damage syncro's as much as the person driving does if you catch my drift.

I have heard from a couple of people that own GT-R's that they didn't like the shift quality with a short shifter but never heard bad reports from a GTS owner.

I had a genuine C's one in my car and loved it but it's now out due to my de-mod program. That's the only reason I've removed it otherwise it would have stayed in cause it rocked !! When I got it in Japan, I also got a special gear knob that looks & feels exactly like the stock nissan one but weighs quite a bit more. Makes for much more positive changes / syncro engagement.

P.S. It ( the genuine C's short shifter ) will be up for sale soon. Suits HCR32 ( also S13 I believe ) so keep an eye out on the Parts For Sale thread :)

yeah the heavier gear knob feels excellent, i have one out of my mates SR20 180sx.

Randy, it was a generic one from automotorsports. they have a large range of automotive products, although they did not send me the chrome gear knob pictured. when I asked them about it, they agreed to send me a chrome gear knob and that one didn't fit. I didn't bother them any further as I got my mates stock one. Never get rid of your stock gear knob!!!

I installed the short shifter with aid from the write up in the tute section on SAU. Gear box feels way stonger now compared to the stock unit, which was very light and notchy. I do need to fix my clutch master cylinder though. I'm also planning to change the fluid over to redline shockproof, just for good measure :-)

I had a short shifter, went back to normal length... i'd never look back.

Stock throw IMO is better.

Wow !!! That's amazing to hear that. After I going back to a normal throw gearshift from the C's Short Shifter, I feel like I'm changing gears in an Excel !! Yuck !! :(

But to each their own I guess :P

Yep :)

I think they are ok for the street. BUt when i was dragging mine regularly i would miss gears as your trying to move the thing fast as you can.

When its short, there was little room for error.

So it was changed and i was quite surprised. Smooth and direct gear changes everytime ;)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
