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 ;)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
