i put in a genuine Nismo short shifter into my R32 the other night; did it easy in 15 mins.. mainly problem is getting the rings off that hold the shifter down in place; you need a special tool but i use flat head screw drivers;

after that it was easy; pull out stock shifter, put in short shifter, and i used the bracket that came with it to keep it in place; no chance of getting those rings back in ever.... lol

i didnt think there was a tutorial in here? dang, well i did alright then lol

Anyone had any experience with the $60 e-bay ones?

I put of these in my 33 recently, you can reffer to the tutorial thats on here even though its for a C's kit

The only problem is that you have to get a genuwine bush from nissan for the bottom end of the shifter ($11 from nissan) because the supplied one is no good.

i had to put a ebay one in a 33. we used bits off the stock shifter to make it work (the bush at the bottom and 1 half way up). it was a bit of a pain to get in. i personally don't like it. the throw is too short and harsh. i persoanlly think there is no need for one on a skyline. they are short enough. if you want it a bit shorter and don't want to spend the money just cut the top off you stock shifter. it will have the same effect. shortening the top has the same effect as lengthening the bottom.

    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
