It work as it was Advertised and I'm very happy now with the Pedal Shift :) It got No lags, pretty much instant and shorter too. I hate when you do manual shifting on the gear stick you have to push it further in.

Now all i have to do to put some coin in my AU$100 note piggy bank for Valve Body upgrade :)

Looks great but...

The position looks a bit awkward... too low IMHO. Is it because it's actually designed for Z33 instead of V35?

Also, is a Valve Body upgrade is required for this shift kit?

Also, can you post a DIY step instructions how you wire the whole thing in 1 hour? Thanks

no the design is for both Z33 and V35. if you see the piece of paper template is for both model Z33 and Skyline ( in japanese)

Valve body upgrade is not required for this kit unless you want an instant shift like normal manual car which cost like US$1000.

1 hour installation is because i have to drill the kit to fit perfectly on behind the steering wheel.

the DIY instruction pretty much taken from this sites. :P

Works Bell installation on 350z

but they are pretty much the same.

all i did is to get the power connection from the lighters.

It is easy to install with all the tools you need is drill bits and screw driver. which took about 1 hour to install.

I bought it from this site

I saw a video on youtube, doesn't seem to rotate with the steering wheel isn't it?

Does it feel awkward?

nope i feels it fine not many cars these days to rotate with the steering wheels. it because the safety as well i guess. as you learn during the track day, you not suppose to shift gears during the corners.

Yeah seems like its a bit low and would be awkward and it dosnt move with the steering wheel.

This kit seems better http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pa...e+shift+for+v35

yes this one came with all pre wired for the V35 that don't have the paddle shifter. it also arrived with the High quality CF paddle shift. very easy to install. all harshness is prepared all you need is the power and the ground cable to be wired somewhere else, which i chose the cigarette lighter.

i did look into the new V36 paddle shift but the cost is too expensive. while i paid for AU$500 shipped when the AU$ was high, not sure about now.

lucky you, with the crappy interest rate right now it'll cost almost $700 excluding delivery...

i paid a freaking $900 EMS delivery for a set of 4 rims delivery from japan due to the poor exchange rate, and now only 2 got delivered, the other 2 still sitting up there cos the 'importer' are waiting for the A$ to come back up... heck, I'll be darn if I have to wait a year for the other 2! not happy Jan!

it shouldnt be your fault that the aussie dollar dropped

perfect example is the situation with my rims

i paid a deposit at the 102 yen price

have to wait 3 months for the suckers to get made.

anyways, the aud drops, the guy who is brigning the rims in is loosing at least 1k on them or there abouts. nothing he can do i paid for them they are mine bring them in.

sorry not having a go at you or your latest aquisition...

but you guys are willing to pay $600 and more for two levers that connect to a SPTT which wires up to the plus and minus on your gearbox's wiring harness? why isn't someone making this in australia? surely there's a big enough market with 350Z owners alone?

There aren't that many auto 350Z's. For years, if you wanted Brembos you had to get a manual. Even now, having Brembos means no auto option.

The only Aussie 350Zs I regularly hear about with slushboxes are the roadsters, and it's not like hairdressers care for flappy paddles.

Yeah it sucks... it was like 52 yen with the rate last week, so I'm finding out from my importer what rate they quoted me on, hopefully it wasn't too high like 80+, as that will mean I'm gonna have to wait for some time before seeing the other 2 rims...

This week it's gone up to 62-63 yen again, so hopefully it will be a bit better soon...

afterall this collumn shifter also just release and that's how long it takes Works bell to developed this (due to low market reason i guess).

But with all the japanese rate and US$ up. All is hard to shop now. Have to look for OZ ebay now :), or get what ever is available in Australia.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
