The short shifter guide on here isn't working, the pix are down.

Never the less I was trying to fit the short shifter on my old rb25 box sitting in the garage. I understand(I think) how it all goes together.

Remove the circlip

Remove the old shifter

Remove the second circlip

Unscrew the short shifter and fit the washer plastic thing above the big ball thing

Put it in the hole

Push it down

Put the metal spacer in

Put the square thing in and bolt it in place.

Problem is I cant get them to go deep enough. The short shifter has alot of up down play and feels very loose. Alot of reading shows that the plastic thing at the end of the short shifter is too small.

If I change this will it sit firm? Why do I have up and down movement? The screws wont reach the funny brackets provided to hold it in place. Am I missing something?

This is the kit: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130466129687&ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:AU:1123

Although I did buy it from a chap over here.

Any help would be great.

R33 Series 2 GTST.

i had to put a short shifter into a mates 33 years ago. think we had a similar issue. i just played around with things and made sure that everything was sitting in place properly and it was fine. just try putting things in different orders until it works.

oh and i think i had to use something extra from the stock shifter than the instructions said you didn't need to, but i can't exactly remember.

Update again:

What the f**k, this thing is so loud. I looked at the nissan one it has rubber shit inside the lower half to dampen sound. This solid metal shit brings every sound from the gearbox all I hear is whirring now. Any way to get rid of this?

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
