Hey all,

twas looking to go out and get a me a short shifter kit for my s1 r33 gtst recently but have now hit the problem of which one to purchase. Me being the naive person that i obviously am didn't expect to find that there would be such a huge range in price. ($100-$500)

Why is that? and i guess that would lead onto what should I be looking for (strengths and weaknesses) and i guess i mean in build quality becuase funtionallity seems to be pretty much the same for all (35-40% reduciton in throw) but i would probably be wanting a physical shortening of the stick too.

Please feel free to educate me :laugh:

thanks heaps!

Cam

i got myself one of those cheap copy ones for $150. throw is firmer and shorter but it didnt come with the plastic bit at the bottom which i had to transfer from the original. its a loose fit so it rattles and the stick itself is solid ally and doesnt have the filler thingy to reduce noise transfer like i think the C's does so it transfers the gearbox noise into the cabin. sounds like a track car gearbox with teh wirring but not as bad. i actually dont mind the wirring but hate the rattling. if i were to do it again id spend abit more and get an original c's. as for the length its about 1.5 cm shorter as i just cut off the excess thread.

I had one... got rid of it.

Best thing i ever did... to be honest i hated it being short. You can only shift the box so fast.

Just my thoughts, they feel great if your driving a mates car, but eventually it wore off on me... and since a couple friends have done similar :D

I think short clutch and short shifts will help greatly if doing quater mile or 0-100km...after all we are really slow..

that "split" second it takes for the arm to shift and to step into gear could be reduced by about 20% if using C's and about 10% if using Nismo~~...

but end result not much of a difference ~~

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
