Good R32 Gtst Short Shifters

[jakez88]

hey guys just wondering if anyone can tell me some good shortshifter kits for r32 gtst. my laast r32 had a really shitty one or badly installed one so i'm not sure if most of the mare like that. My last r32's short shifter had heat coming up it which was freakin annoying especially in summer as it would make the car a sauna.

now just wanting to know if my kit had a crappy install or do some shortshifters do that. which ones do? which ones don't.

the only thing i liked about my last one was that it wasn't as tight/short a throw as some on the market have. my friends one is realy tight that i rekon it on moves 1-2cms from neutral to 1st. it was uncomfortable and didn't even know which gear i was in some times as the stick didn't seem like it moved at all.

any suggestions on good shortshifters with a good throw and not stupidly short/tight one. also ones that do not let hot air come up, where to get, and prices.

thanks guys.

C's ftw.

I got an RB25 one and used it on my 20 box (need a spacers to clamp up properly) then reused it when I upgraded gearboxes

C's or Nismo...but

I was keen on these until I read a little more. My tuner also dissuaded me from going that way.

Just sayin'...have read around first

yeah c's or nismo, c's has shorter throw but i went for nismo, looks like a stock item, and you know its going to work well,

from memory nismo is $220 (maybe bit more with shit exchange rate) you can choose between 10% reduce throw and 25%

C's is about $300-$350 (reduces throw 30%) from memory,

i wouldnt go any other brand then these 2.

put a gtr shifter in there..thats what i did feels alot better than stock and not as annoying as an aftermarket short shifter can be

ive got a short shift in mine. is kinda cool but is really tight n can make getting into gear a bit annoying sometimes.

and also sometimes cant tell if im in 3rd or 5th...so i put it into 4th to check n turns out i was in 5th so revs go up n yeh...

but i love it...my choice... c's

Vinnie = a GTR gearstick connot be swapped into a GTS-T. You have a GTS-4. exactly the same driveline as a GTR so it fit.

Jakez88. I bought a C's short shifter for $250 brand new delivered from a trader on this forum (can't remember which one). I'm a mechanic and I rate this as a great buy for someone that really enjoys driving their car (not just being seen in it). It has the rubber insulation between the top and bottom shafts so there is no heat or noise/vibration transfer to the cabin. It gives a much more positive gear engagement and shift compared to the standard gearstick. And the old wives tale of short shifters destroying gearboxes is like a gun, It doesn't kill someone, It's the person weilding it. In short, It won't give you a performance upgrade at all but it is a fantastic driving experience upgrade. I've actually forgotten I have one until I drive someone elses and remember how nice my car is to drive.

I put one in mine (i think the same as one as this) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...ter-t21079.html. i liked it but the oil runs out going up hills. we didnt put a cover over the hole, then we tried to fit a small one but it just popped out when i changed gear. cant see how to fit the cover from the standard stick when the mount has only a small edge and it wouldnt stay on it. its fine on the flat but going up steep hills isnt. iv put the original stick back in for now till we modify the mount.

I used a couple of the circlips that were holding the old shifter in to space the block up. The 32gtst box has a shorter snout than the 33gtst box and as such that block doesn't clamp on properly.. you may find you have a 33gtst shifter..

When I put my shifter onto the 25 box it all fitted fine.

ahh tru tru makes sence

Normal price for a C's one on Sliding performance is 310 i think, go on ebay, i paid 80 for mine.

As far as i can tell its exactly the same in quality and the parts that come with it so good deal.
