Hi Guys,

Has anybody else had problems with their short shifters?

Mine seems to have broken... I have never shifted hard with it at all and the top part (where the gear knob screws on) has come away from the bottom part (which drops down into the gearbox) - it still works, theres a rod from the bottom half which slides up the inside of the top half which allows it to still function, but i am not happy about it breaking.. its only about 6 months old.

It wasn't in a box tho when i got it, so perhaps its not a Genuine C's?

had mine well over 6 months, and all is good touch wood. Mine came in a box new.

Does it have any C's markings on it at all? mine came in a plastic bag with just a C's Guarentee card and the bits needed to fit it.

looks original enough for me, bought one before but didn't put it on decided to sell it again. it looks like it uses some glue between the two parts. can't u just glue them back with some kind of glue that will work with metal parts?

Agree with RS73....looks to have been bonded in place and glue's only partly taken. Shouldn't happen on a new part. Simple job to repair yourself, just remove as much of the old glue as possible from both parts (hard to do in a hole, of course), then roughen up the surfaces with emery/sandpaper before re-glueing. I'd try something like 24hour araldite (NOT the 5min stuff, which is crap).

Of course, if you think you've got a chance at a guarantee/warranty claim, do that first....

C's is now out of business, so no Warranty claim. :)

The fiancee is out shopping tonight, I have her picking me up some silicon based adhesive as I have drag combat on saturday (thank god i decided not to run!!)

Thanks guys,

you own and drive a gtr so use it in the right enviroment.

whoa, i wish you were in Sydney to see the 'PranK GTR Driving Style'. :P:)

the general rules are; because you love your car, spend as long as possible in it, so no speeding, in fact - go UNDER the speed limit. And also because you love your car and own a GTR, dont even THINK of dong anything that would jeopardise your license status and/or premium raise. :rofl:

You have nothing to worry about with me.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

btw i've got a mines short shift on mine and it jammed halfway through the gate into third at sandown last sat. Maybe nissan OE is the go?

Well, since mine broke today, I called a few mates at some workshops and they were almost all of the opinion that the nissan stocker is much better for the g/box and to shift with (I have my stocker in the garage).

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
