Dont know why you would change it unless you are going manualised auto? most ppl who do that go a b&m style ratchet shifter, but that means cutting the console etc to fit it.

as for the overdrive button, just rewire it to a switch or push button and mount it near the shifter somewhere. you can buy addons for some of the b&m shifters that have an overdrive button in them. could be hard to find.

there was also a topic on here somewhere ages ago where someone sourced a different shifter for an auto out of a 300zx or something similar, looks a bit more sporty. kinda similar shape to r34 tiptronic shifters. check ebay maybe?

i got a magic stick in the ceffy, its a non t-piece style auto shifter with the overdrive button. bought it in japan... was like $30 bucks. Haven't seen anything even remotely similar available locally, at least not with the overdrive button and gear release buttons.

There's also the Navan shift knob which is pretty popular with 300ZX drivers. I had one of those and sold it for $150 a couple of years ago. Again with the gear release and overdrive buttons.

unless my job does not involve driving through the CBD

I think I'll stick to my automatic

as I don't want my hands all sore when I get to work at peak hour

I still have fun shifting to neutral when coming to a stop

yes 1 to make it look like I'm driving manual :( and 2 to save some petrol

thanks Basti I'll have a look at that

I asked if it woud fit our GTT's.

Don't think there gonna reply, let me know if you go ahead with it. i just want to know if it fits.

Yahoo Auctions Search for Auto shifters with overdrive. Contact Laurence to grab one (would be cheaper than buyin the same thing off some leprechaun in the US who imports it from japan to sell on ebay).

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
