Would not use one of these personally since there's no dampener built into it as there is in the OEM, NISMO & C's ones.

The dampener is built into the stick itself under ( part of ) the counterweight and helps to shift cleanly and as you can see, this shifter doesn't have a dampener built in.

I have owned and used a C's one which is about a 25% - 30% shift throw reduction and works great. To get the full benefit's your syncro's should be in top condition.

Also owned a NISMO one which is about a 10% - 15% shift throw reduction and works great but doesn't feel much different from the normal one.

Just my 2 cents.

don't waste your money on them, they rattle and are really crap quality. The place that made mine even had the guts to imprint nismo on the side of the shifter.

Oh great! And they dont fit that easily too. My mechanic tried on Sunday and said that the shifter is the wrong size and all. The seller claims that it will fit and their solution was to sent me previous buyers email addresses and ask them how to do it! Not happy Jan!

got one for my car from ebay, paid $57+ postage total, didnt have any instructions with it, but once i sorted it all out and eventually got it in (was a bit tight) it felt a bit crap untill all the parts wore in which took a week, now it feels BEAUTIFUL, so happy with it, definately some of the best money ive spent on the car... had it for 6months now and no problems... looks exactly like the one in the first pic...

driving anything else feels like a tractor!

I have one of these in my 32gtst, looks exactly the same, they are counter weight balanced, and are a solid feel without the damper, feels better like that than the original. My throw seems to be 50 less.. which is great, wouldnt go back. Easy to fit, but the little white cup on the end of the shifter didnt fit into my slot in the box, so i had to change that from my original, does have a little rattle, but sound deadner under the gear boot has fixeed that. For the price, best way to go, reliable, easy to fit.

Just took ownership about ofa an R33 GTS-T a couple of weeks ago and the car was fitted with a (very rattly)C's copy shortshifter.

Over the weekend (the first time shifting a little agressively) the whole shifter came off. The plastic insert (that goes into the small ball at the end of the shifter and into the selector) had split. It's back in there for the meantime but I have to shift slowly.

My question is: is this part included in the eBay kit? Having never seen the standard shifter I'm not sure if this was a stock Nissan part?

Can this part be purchased seperately from Nissan?

Cheers for the help,

Aaron.

just blocked the noise getting into the cabin. you cant fix the rattle as it is the lever inside the box.... not the rings underneath as you may be thinking. But works an absolute treat!

hey guys

ive been looking for a while to get a short shifter into my 33, and spent a lot of time contemplating which to buy: C's, Nismo or the cheap copies off ebay, until the other day i was on ebay and some how came across and oridinal Tomei short shift kit but was second hand. it didnt bother me though and it had a buy it now price of $140 so i bought it.

i put it in myself with the DIY instructions off an SAU member.

perfect fit, no noises, tight and reduced the throw by at least 35-40%.

i suggest listen to what most people have to say and buy the right parts for your beloved baby, invest in only the best

thats my two cents

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune · Posted

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
