Hi All,

Just aquired a cushion button clutch for my GTS-T, before I go ahead with the fitment I wish to find out more info about what short shifter is best recommended and most commonly trusted by fellow club members. Where can I obtain one?

Ebay has them going for $60-$120AUD for Billet Aluminium ones.

Thanks Guys & Gals.

Hey tash.. I don't know if button clutch would be your best choice, a sprung center gives a lil more flex slightly easier to drive and not as aggressive..

With short shifter i think thats a personal choice i got a NISMO(i think) one off ash and i think its ace although i don't think he liked it.

Thanx for the advice guys.

You wouldn't by any chance know the tension (Nm) for the flywheel bolts.

I was told the Exedy Cushion Button will allow for everyday driving yet handle track use extremely well too.

i got cushion button they are tops. great for everyday driving

+1 for C's. May take a while to get used to it tho as the throw is about as short as you can go.

You may find that you need increased effort to shift as it gets tighter because of the leverage point or something about how it works.

I love it but its personal preference i guess.

I've got the Tomei short shifter, really good, short throes, but the nylon bush/sleeve on the very bottom of the shifter is worn, and loose - need a replacement. Does anyone know if there's a Tomei service kit available? It just adds an unnecessary amount of slop to the shift.

ash, why didn't you like the short shifter?

dan, they will only be worse on the box if you bang it in all the time...

I had one on my BMW and it, along with the Momo Corse, were the best mods ever (that includes a built motor for it!)

It makes finding gears harder was the main thing for me

When i was racing a lot at Calder/Heathcote i found i was shifting faster without it.

Also i was missing gears far less as when there is a short throw, you have to be precise everytime.

I also was out-shifting the box sometimes i think, as it would crunch horribly. Shifter removed, never a crunch.

And it wasnt my useage of the clutch :)

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
