Nismo Short Shifter

[disco_potatoe]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has installed a Nismo short shifter before and what is there thought on it? I'm looking at installing it into my r33 gtst which has a cushion button clutch. So just after some feed back on the feel and what advantage this install has to offer.

Any information would be fantastic thank you very much.

Short shifters reduce the distance that you move the shifter, as they change the pivot height (so less leaveage). Seems a bit odd to be considering one, when you're not sure what it does...?? Anyways Nismo have two types, one that's around $250 with offers 10% reduction in throw, and one that's about $600 that offers 25% reduction. The 10% one is barely short, it just sort of tightens up the feel a bit. The 25% you'll really notice the throw is shorter and stiffer.

Where would you recommend buying one from?

Thank you for your information.

Note that speeding up the shifting process puts more strain on the gearbox and will likely crunch gears if it isn't already

Exactly.

You can outshift the box with the factory throw distance, putting in a short shifter just makes it worse.

I actually removed my short shifter many years ago for this reason. Whilst it was cool when putting round the street, when racing it would constantly lead to missed/crunched gears as you can only shift so fast. Stock throw back in, never had a problem after that.

Nengun has them if you're still going for it
