Anyone installed a short throw shifter in a v35 or 350z.. ?

if so which kit/brand, and how do you like it compared to the stock shifter.. ?

and also sell me your stock shifter if anyone has one still handy.

for this project..

My link

have a 350z box but no shifter, i like the throw of the stock shifter..

i had a fc and prefered the stock shifter compared to a short shifter in the manual box. the short shifter felt better for drag purposes, but worse for drifting which is my style of driving.

cheers,

Seb

I have the stock shifter with the TK Hebi Bebi knob which in my opinion is a better combination. The TK knob can screw down lower than the stock knob so the base of mine is about 10mm above the console level. The low down weight on a stock stick makes shifting a little easier.

that does look pretty sweet, and i understand that the shorter the height.. also means a somewhat shorter throw.

my problem is just finding a stock shifter as it costs more than most short throws would..

i'll see how i go, the manual conversion project will be done in a few weeks.

cheers for the reply mosoto!

I've got a B&M short shifter in my 350Z, that I got from the US. The length is the same, but changing the pivot point reduces the throw.

It rattles at certain RPM and it makes the shifter a lot heavier, but I like the shorter throw. It reminds me of the S2K's shifter, but less smooth.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
