Its an auto shifter.

Pull up the fork and get it outta park, down to drive, push the fork in when in drive and it ratchets thru the gears 1, 2 and 3. Over drive is wired up to a little on/off switch near the snow / power switch.

Pull the old shifter off, position the new one, cut a hole in the tranny tunnel and run the cable thru. Some brackets courtesy of MV Autos adelaide where used. The cable setting and cutting the hole was the most difficult part.

It is certainly unique, and as u said, i dont think its for everyone lol.

Your install looks good with the manual surround. Iv got a BM pro ratchet in mine, i painted the case black as to not stand out so much but i like it.

Yeah thats cool how its black. Reason i wanted a mega shifter is cause the Pro Ratchet has been done before lol. But i havent seen one with the case painted black like that though lol. That very cool! :)

I got a bigger leather boot to sit around it to get rid of a lot of the chrome. Now it looks like the whole dash is coming out and will get painted in a colour a little less bright me thinks.

thinking of doing this sometime down the track

has anyone else done it or have any more pics?

are you guys running standard auto gear? or do you have manualized auto setups?

was thinking of going that route once ive finished engine mods etc, i hate how the auto kicks down off throttle would like to be able to hold a certain gear/more flexibilty possibly.

anyone have any comments on this?

3k stall and stage 2 shift kit is all mine has.

If ya wanna manualise it talk to Mike @ MV Automatics in SA.

If ya do manualise, dont get a megashifter. Pro Ratchet is easier to use. My megashifter is farking hard to punch around lol

Post your video here mate! :)

At Howie's request,

Here is the link to a video of my ratchet shifter getting used.

The switch to the right of the shifter is 4th gear, which is usually the o/d button on your stock T-bar.

Cheers to my brother for the camera work lol.

Let me know what you think.

i got a 4spd pro ratchett 4 my r33 do i need the button 4 overdrive or can i make it the 4th gear

You could in theory rig up the switch for the (on/off) overdrive by having it engaged when selecting the 4th gear, however, the mucking around ya gonna go through to get it sorted out properly IMO outweighs what its advantage its gonna have for you.

Be a lot easier to hook up a missile switch or a straight ON/OFF switch in the centre console area.

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?

      Not oem, just bin them.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
