WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING A SHIFT-I SHIFT LIGHT SYSTEM ?

With a Shift-I shift light system ...

- You decide exactly what revs the first light comes on at, and you decide what revs you want the Shift-I to flash the "change gear now" signal.

- As an example, you can set the Shift-I so that the first light comes on when at the bottom end of your optimal torque band, and the "change gear now" signal to activate at the top end of your optimal torque band ...

- This helps you keep your engine operating in the range where you have the most torque available, and helps you eliminate excess wear caused by needless over-revving after your peak torque has already been reached.

- It's super bright shift lights are seen in your peripheral vision, so you no longer need to keep one eye on your tacho and are free to concentrate on your lines, apexes, and braking points

- At night the Shift-I dims automatically to a night setting

- You get a smooth and consistent anticipation of your shift point

- It reduces driver workload and fatigue, both in sprint races and endurance events

- It provides drivers with reference points for performance

- You get immediate feedback on cornering entry and exit RPM

- You can achieve consistent staging RPM for standing starts & launches - so no more watching the tacho on the start line !

- In enduro events you can manage your fuel by short shifting at an indicated point below the peak RPM

- You can avoid the rev limiter and plan your gear selection

- You can improve your lap time consistency and get up to speed at new tracks and with new suspension setups faster

SOME FEEDBACK FROM SATISFIED SHIFT-I OWNERS

Nothing carries more credibility with us than unbiased testimonials from satisfied users of the products we sell.

Here are some examples of testimonials received from users of the Shift-I system ...

"Received and installed on the same day ... Pulsar N14 SSS. The product is excellent ... Well manufactured, engineered and packaged ... Recommended - buy Australian" - Phil, Brisbane, Australia

"I feel it is worth saying that the product is 1st class and your before and after service cannot be beat ... if you come up with new products I would be more than interested in having a look at them ... from a more than happy customer. Thank you very much" - Mark, Victoria, Australia

"If you are after a testimonial for the Shift-I, I can give you one. The Shift-I performed flawlessly and kept me in touch with the revs while the analogue tacho bounced all over the shop. This was at least partly responsible for me being able to shave 3 seconds off between first and last runs" - Paul, Aussie Frogs

"It’s worked brilliantly in my track car. I’m pretty sure I’ve gained maybe ½ a second a lap from it, not to mention the benefit over a longer stint due to a significant reduction in cockpit workload. Bloody good unit."

Could you please show a pic of the installed unit on the R32?

Would like to see a side on shot to see exactly how it attaches to the column

Cheers

Hi N1GTR,

The Shift-I is very easy to mount on any virtually any vehicle.

Above is a diagram showing the dimensions in mm of both the curved and straight versions of the Shift-I.

Some fitments only need a simple bracket to position where desired - above is an example for information purposes only of a simple bracket used to mount a Shift-I, provided by the Shift-I's manufacturer.

You can also download a 1:1 scale cut out out which can be printed and used as a guide to assist in determining fitment.

Hi all,

I just went to the newsagent here and issue 2 of Boost Magazine (formerly known as Zoom Magazine) is on the shelves.

It's the issue with an orange Torana on the cover.

On page 18 there is a half page article about our Shift-I Shift Light systems.

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
    • You mean you will regret it for drifting duties? I don't quite follow.
