hey guys im new here and need some help fitting my short shifter.

i just purchased a car with a R34 box and a nismo short shift kit which likes to pop out sometimes and is very annoying to fit up along the side of the road.

as i never originally fitted it im not to sure how it's meant to go in.

below are some pics of what i've got - dont know what the o-ring things are for - however there is a ring in the selector column where i could 'make it fit'.

the way it was - the fat spacer thing went in first, then the shifter popped in, then the cover went on and with the 4 bolts fit intot the grove along the side.

cheers. chris.

It is basically the same for a R34.

And it doesnt look like you have a nismo shifter, the main shifter is black for the Nismo one I believe. You either have a C's or a copy.

Those metal rings that you have actually lock the shifter in place so it doesnt move out. They are kind of like clamps.

Hope that helps.

ok. well i've answered my own question then. the circlip things are there to hold the stock shifters in place.

it's the cover that goes along the top of the short sihter and has the clamps along the side which holds the short shift setup in place.

i just coudn't work out if there was anything else there to hold it in place.

    • Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.
    • Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.
    • As long as its NOT a HyperSHITtune, youll be fine.
    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
