I Want To Fit A Short Throw Shifter.

[oxford1327]

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

I LOVE my C West short shifter, freaking beautiful!

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
