so a guy in the USA on G35driver.com has finally decided to sell the paddle shift kit he was makign for the G35 and V35.. for a while it looked like he pulled out but has finally offered it if he gets 10 people

it uses paddles from a G37/V36/R35 skyline linked with a custom control box..

unfortunately he is selling the kit which included brackets, paddles, and control box for $750!

i thought i would post it up in case anyone was interested. i was keen, but at that price i'm not so sure anymore..

the thread: http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183031

the paddles:

the shifters on their own are $150 retail

maybe there might be a cheaper solution?

heaps of others in the USA have adapted the paddles themselves without any kit..

chris, interested in working out your own brackets and control box :D ?

haha nah i know you have a lot on your plate right now..

anyway thought i would post it in case others were interested

cheers,

Warren

would be easier to use a GT8 setup I think. so - shroud,paddles,brackets. dont see anything about a custom box there. figure it would tag off the '+' & '-' triggers on the main shifter.

next GT8 I get I'll pop the wheel off.

To be perfectly honest Waz, I see too much effort and money for little gain.

To me, it's like something you want when you don't have them, but when you have them you aren't into them.

I use them like once in a blue moon. As they don't rotate with the steering wheel, they aren't practical for driving fast which is why you would have it in the manual mode in the first place. Twisty bits at speed forget about it. The shifter is just so much easier and perfect to flick up and down. I say borrow a GT-8 for a few days and then see how you feel.

I must admit though they do look cool though:-

If it doesn't rotate with the steering wheel then probably it'll be better to just re-wire the up n down gear shifter so pushing forward is downshift and pulling back is upshift. That's probably a more worth it mods. Might have to get some nice + & - stickers to stick on top of the original ones.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
