My apologies if this has been covered before but I'm having a hard time fishing for this info..

im assuming the 5sp manual box for the c34 is the same as an r33 but which model? gt/t/r/st? Does anyone know of a model/part number for these trannies? The reason I ask is to find a suitable adjustable short shifter and I just want to make sute I get the right one before forking out da monies

Ive been trying to find an adjustable one but otherwise tossing up between:

"tossing up?" Exactly the same item RN595. $5 difference in price.

I vote keep your money and don't bother.

The shift speed has more to with the gearbox synchros than the throw of the shifter.

Its not just about the speed of the shift, its more about the feel

Oh well. Buy it and report back. It's 10 percent shorter with harder rubber, good luck noticing much other than the placebo affect because you spent money and it's nismo!

Im just saying that my question was to do with the gearbox model because I was after a short shifter. Not 'what's some opinions on short shifters?'. Each to their own though, I understand. Also, yes, I would like an adjustable one. Though im not sure they exist, Im not going to settle for my preference for second best just cos I cant find what I'm after straight off the bat. Sorry if my crappy analogy offended in any way, shape or form.

Ps. I appreciate you trying to save a brother some coin :D

I have taken all your advice btw and I thank you all for it. I realise that I obviously need to do more research before taking any leaps of faith.. this is all new to me. I'm the first to say that I know far from everything and I'm treating everything as a learning curve. After reading my comment again, it does come across quite cocky (which it wasnt meant to be) and I apologize. The last thing I want to do is piss people off who are trying to help me out.. I love these forums as a knowledge base, please dont cast me off for something I'm not because of a misinterpreted comment. What more can i say?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
