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.

      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.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
