make your own. Thats what I did.

pulled the outer metal section of the shifter off (its seperated from the centre part by rubber) and cut the thread from the outer section and welded it onto the inner section. Solid short shifter, Cost = $0

Replaced bush that sits on the bottom as well. Next to no slop now and feels alot nicer.

If you have access to some tools + a welder then its a cheap option if you really want to do it. I had a spare one lying around so I just thought I'd give it a go.

I have a short shifter on my R33. From what I recall it doesn't even have circlips... It is just the shifter and a series of bushes then a clamp to hold it all in place. The shift and gear control was awesome. The sound of a solid shifter shit me up the wall. The whirring noise that the shifter throws up is terrible. The Nismo shifters have a shorter throw than stock and do not let this noise through. Any solid shifter is going to let noise through, both skylines Ive had(R33's) used the same shifter and had the same noise. No matter how much rubber shit I put around it. Ive tried a plastic, stock and metal gear knob. Metal was the worst the stock one helps get rid of it and the other drift one didn't really do anything.

Mine looks like this. Pretty much exactly the same. Only reason I don't use it anymore is because my current stock shifter feels fine enough and not worth the extra noise you get from these shifters. BELIEVE ME you WILL notice it. Unless you're deaf or have your music always on, its audible. My car isn't quiet either.

Ive got 3 layers. One from my old car, the current and one wrapped around the base. Still was shit lol. Its the vibration and noise which travels through the stick which is shit. They should be dampened inside but that would defeat the point of a solid shifter...

Hmmm I've never really noticed any extra noise. Its not rediculous anyway. If I had to say anything I'd say its a bit noisey under low revs high load (say in 4th gear at 30kmh) but other then that I dont find it to bad.

I got a brand new boot to go directly on the gearbox (as these always seem to be stuffed) and then ditched the lower portion of the rubber boot that sits in your car because my shifter was hitting it, I'm pretty sure I have an SR20 manual shifter but I'm not sure if its just that slight bit different or if somewhere during my modification I've bent it slightly. But anyway I'm happy with how it turned out :)

thats the one Ive bought for the R32-rb26, using VL turbo gearbox.

might try to install it tomorrow - havent worked on the car for a month so probably time to give installation a go

I actually had my short shifter taken out all those years ago.

You tend to out shift the box too often due to the short through, which resulted in crunching the gearbox quite often.

Went back to stock and much less chance to out shift the synchros etc. Just something to think about.

I dont have a lot of mechanical sympathy :D

      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

      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)?
