R33 shifter bush issues

Hey guys quick question in regards to the shifter bush located on the end of the gear stick that slots into the gear selector 

R33 GTS-T S2

I recently purchased a replacement bush as mine was worn and there was a lot of slop in the stick so I went with a GK tech solid shifter bush as they outlast the plastic ones.

GK tech bush was wayyyyyy to big by a mile even though it was the correct one for my vehicle so that was a no go 

So...

I ordered a genuine Nissan one and guess what! The same damn thing is still way too big so could someone tell me if I'm missing something here or is this some kind of manufacturing screw up because after hours of messing around knuckle deep inside the gearbox I'm nothing but pissed off and confused

 Cheers

You sure it's too big? They can be quite fiddly to get in. I had tried a gktech 1 and couldn't get it in but the oem went in OK when lined up correctly.

Yeah it's literally the different between a 20 cent coin and a 10 cent coin i understand it's a snuck fit but it doesn't take an Einstein to tell it doesn't fit haha 

GKtech sell two one which is big one which is small. One is for GTR one for GTST. 

I have one here at home, I went to put it in but wasn't happy with it so I removed it. If you're in Sydney I'll give it to you for free.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
