I've got the old one of and got the new one but having trouble fitting it... Yes I have the right one... If anyone has any knowledge please help me out

You would be wise to set the bronze bush on a block of timber on your bench, lube the ball on the tip of the gearstick with a bit of grease, then a solid whack on the end gearstick (remove gearknob) with a decent sized hammer, will pop the new bush on to the ball.

Let us know how the bush goes, I saw them the other day and wondered if it was worth getting

I think the slop in mine is from the Ball it rotates on (or rather the plastic bush it sits in) around the middle of the shifter but

The bushing goes great! Once you get it all fitted up it feels really tight! But once you drive it.. It is amazing! No sloppiness at all!

Did you notice any vibrations or extra noise? I have the bush but havent put it in, dont want any noise or vibration because its street driven

Hi-jacking the thread... Gktech only has the bush for r33 gtr shifter. Will this bush fit on the r33 gtst?

no mate, the gtr has a much smaller bush...

a new bush from nissan is only 14 bucks, feels good when new... ive had many ..keep smashing them off been too nasty while racing hahaha :)

I got the same bushing. It was an absolute prick to get on as well. Makes for a little smoother shift. Had mine for nearly a year I'm guessing.

Notice any exta vibrations or noise from having a solid bush instead of plastic?

I've got one sitting here, but not sure if I should use it

No vibrations or issues at all with mine. I'd say its worth the stuffing around to put in :D I think I mounted mine on a vice somehow and gave it a few love taps.
But my memory is coming back to me now. As that little ball is so tight to get on in the first place, I found it had actually expanded the brass a little and I had to sand some of the brass down so it would actually fit back into the gearbox. But safe to say I don't think it'll ever be coming out again.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
