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 ~~

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
