Hi guys, just after some info on short shift kits for the R33....

Just seeing what brands you guys are using your experience with them, Im thinking about getting a C's short shift from Atomicbomberman (30% shorter) over the 10% shorter nismo item... Comments appreciated,

Lepperfish... :burnout:

i've got one... not sure what brand but if i have a 25 box, it's VERY short and it's harder on the box i reckon.

You have to be precise with your shifts or they can crunch on not go into gear...

maybe redline oil might fix mine?

but ATM it's rough, but i'm used to it now. Plus my box is well used, that probably doesn't help.

PM dj_lethal... he just got one in his 33. Was around the same tightness as my box, but i think mine it a big tighter

i got a short shifter with the car - never compared it to a non-short shifted one.

I think the throw is not all THAT short actually. I think mine might be a Nismo one if it is only 10% shorter

What other brands of short shifters are available in Japan (so I can narrow down the brands)? The only ones i hear thrown up around here are the C's and the Nismo ones.

I've a C's one in for a long time now....wouldn't be without it .By comparrison the normal shift feels really long and sloppy. Ihave heard that you need to check if you'r getting Nismo.... there is a 10% and a 30%.

i got one with my car and its ALOT shorter than all the other skyline box's ive had a go on so it must be the 30% one. its alot nicer to drive and gives the car a much nicer feel as the gearing is precise and there is no play/sloppyness.

also makes it easier to slam through the gears quickly.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
