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

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
