hi all.

i want to fit a short throw shifter to my S2, as i had one in my last manual car (chev powered lx torana hatchback) but would like to know what model will fit from the other model nissans, i can get a second hand one from a wreckers out of an r32 GTR but it will need a new rubber boot, and gasket set, but at $150 i thought he was a bit steep?

have had a look on a couple of the businesses in the classifieds on here but there wasn't much in there for us, hence why i would like to know what we cross-reference with, and where i would get one, and also how much i should expect to pay for it.

even some tips on how to fit would be good too,as in how much of the interior do i have to pullout to get to it? do i have to pull the box out to do it? all those sorts of things, if any one can give a guiding hand would be great

Nismo and C's make short shifter's for the Nissan boxes

Nismo ones are approx 10% shorter in throw and in stick height and have a good feel.

I had one in my R33 and loved it, and have just boought another one for my Stagea manual conversion

Got it from Nengun. Was under $200 delivered

The C's shifter are approx 30% less throw and have been known to be a bit harder to use which can cause you to miss gear's, plus they have been known to be a bit noisey sometimes. cost is over $300 new

Install is easy. Just remove your interior gear stick surround and rubber boot around the gear stick

Pop out the retaining C clip and swap over.

I am sure there would be something in the DIY section on install

darrinspencer, is the nismo short shifter resulted in any noticeable more road/gearbox noise transferred into the cabin?

I had C's on 2 yrs ago and find out it's very noisy on my gearbox, and it won't trigger the reverse light sensor when the gear selector is put into reverse. I had it taken out immediately and stay with stock shifter until today.

Nismo shifter performed exactly like the factory shifter but with a quicker throw

That is why I have just bought another one

No noise or vibration thru the stick

hi again guys here is my vin number 6V900wgnc34127902

but i would still like to know where you guys have got your shifters from?

the c west one sounds ok but the C's one would be no good to me ifn it doesn't activate the reverse lights and is noisier etc.

or are they one and the same?

all good have installed mine ages ago but lost this thread and couldn be stuffed finding it again hahaha.

got mine from andrew at kudos motorsport, great to deal with and it fitted a treat, works a treat and is a really positive shift now as before it was a bit like a spoon in a jar of jam.

cheers oxford

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
