Hello u mob. Been looking around for a while now, but i cant find what i am looking to know.

Questions for ya.

1) With the auto gear shifter in my herd of shit at the moment, it has an illuminated gear indicator both in the dash board and the surround for the gear stick itself. I wanna put a B@M megashifter into it. The shifter in question has an illuminated gear selector much the same as the standard arrangement does.

So how would i go about wiring the aftermarket B@M jobbie so that it still interfaces with the gear indicator lights in the dash board?

I realise that there is no functional reason to do this, i want it purley for wank factor.

2) Whats the best way to make, modify, change the gear surround to fit this shifter in and not have it look like shit. All i have come across thus far are Ratchet shifters that have had the surround cut out. I really dislike this look, however the mega shifter i have has a manual style rubber boot, so the old cut it out formula wont work here.

Cant find any details of people using a mega shifter at all. Surely i am not the only one who is gonna do it?

Any help or suggestions or details that anyone can pass on would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Hey, i had a B&M Pro Ratchet fitted to my R33.. The lights on the dash are activated by the transmission so they still work once you put in an after market shifter.

And i just cut the stock gear surround to suit the shifter, Cheers

Thank u kind sir!

Did u put it in yourself or get a shop to do it?

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
