I have my local speed shop pricing one for me.

I'll get a price for x lots if people are interested. I have used a B&M shifter that claimed 25% on a WRX and it was amazing. Can't wait till I get mine.

Adrian - B&M claim they work on all skyline - but the part # is the same for all models - ie R32, R33, R34 - GTS-t, GTR -

and I was of the understanding that shifters were different between skyline models.

Hence - my confusion if they will work on a GTS-t or not

Ohhh I wonder if that will let me shift quicker! Looks pretty good as they replace the base plate as well with a machined part... and the shifters are pretty much interchangable between skyline boxes.

No mo' granny shifts~!

mate a granny shift is like shifting at 3 grand (ie. not redlining it).

you obviously have a different idea about what granny shifting is to the rest of the world, mate.

Chris, you got nothing... I'm afraid you're a lost cause till you can do a burnout... :rant::):rant:

Skylines cant do burnouts, the whole world knows this, to do a proper burnout you need a beige Corona, :)

Has anyone tried a short shifter, B & M or other, only to find that the condition of the gearbox means that shifting is actually harder, i drove a 200SX that shifted like a pig with a Cs shifter, apparently the health of the box needs to be pretty good to runa shorter shifter...any truth?

yep - shorter shift is suppost to put increased load on the gearbox and syncros (spelling ?)

But this is a generic statement - it really depends on how well (or bad !) you treat the gearbox, the condition of the box, regular servicing and (as 2rismo said) how good a lube you wanna use (mechanically speaking !!)

my gearbox whines visciously and drops a lot of oil.... does that mean i gotta keep using the stock shifter.

And also anyone using an rb20 box in a vl get a different shifter, i still have the rb20 one and i had to turn it around as the shifter hits the handbrake in 2nd gear. Turned around it has a HUGE throw in to 1,3,5 and a minute one in to 2,4,R ... dodgy !

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
