Short shift kits.....

[Lepperfish]

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 felt a short shift kit on a 33 last night.... DAYM nice...

this box was tight-as, it felt like 30% not 10%....

I want one now....

Is it true they are harder on the box?

Just put my C's on from AtomicBomberMan last night, just takes a little common sense to fit. Cant say how it feels under load as yet as my car isn't really driveable, but seemed sweet driving it around the block.

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.

nismo make two i've heard?

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

[Lepperfish]

Kewl, I think i might give the C's 30% a try..... From atomicbomberman of course....

there are two kits available from nismo:

ones a solid shift kit which reduces throw by 10%

and the other is called a quick shift kit which reduces it by 25% but is only available for GTR's and gts-4

[king_kw13]

Is the C's kit harsh now that u are reducing throw by that much? The Nismo one (i think i got) felt a bit rougher than my old car's shifter (Honda Prelude ones are smooth as) but really once warmed up it is great.

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.

shortshifters work the synchros harder i think. and when cold, the box may feel reluctant depending on whether u have crunching issues. mine is really nice once warmed up. will be putting in Redline MT90 shortly to help protect the box.

the other brands are like mine's. ive got C's for while now and its definetly better than without it. C's are also cheap so its good

[T0nyGTSt]

Does it matter now that "C's" is out of business?
