yea was a little tight loosened it no diff, also tried removing the spring washer no diff, only thing i can see it being is that the white little bit on the end is really tight so im hoping it will wear in... and by the way, the white thing on the end of the shiter is $11.50 from nissan not $4 like some ppl were saying....

i put a ebay shifter in too. had to make up a spacer so it didnt clamp down on the pivot ball to much making it stick, also welded in top half of original shifter to stop noise coming up. have got a basic drawing of what i done but wont let me put it on here. if interested pm me!

Old post revived i know but i put one of these shifters in an found the square clamp to be to tight so i used the new bush which tucks in over the ball of the shifter an the original two C clips that were on the standard shifter instead of the metal bracket an seems to work a treat. Not to tight but not to loose either an much shorter throw. Only thing is now i can hear the whinge of the gearbox as the syncros are under more load. I dont abuse the hell out of my gearbox so how long roughly will it last??? Thinking of even going back to the original shifter just to quieten it down...

have driven a 33gtst that had a short shifter - made the same noise. i asked about it - was my neighbours dads car - and he said it was on the car when he bought it 8,000km ago. no dramas. just noisy. Didnt know what it was making the noise tho!

you don't get a rubber bush on short shifters so all the noise from the g/box get transfered straight up the shifter. i cut my stock shifter below the rubber bush, done the same place on the short shifter and welded the stock shifter onto the short shifter bottom, walla, no more noise and feels even better

(make sure you get someone who can weld to do it,i got my mate who's a pressure welder to do mine)

That is such a good idea. I hate the sound of the gearbox through the shifter, also the heat transfers through it making the gearknob and gearstick surround going hot as.

i had trouble with the lil plastic bushing being too small, so i bought the metal one from cusco and i will see how it goes, i got a real leather nismo (fismo) boot also with red stitching to match my car

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
