hey guys, i just installed a C's copy short shifter in my 33. installation was easy thanks to pranks DIY and it feels great, very solid and short. but its damn noisy as in i can actually hear the gearbox whine through the gears over the exhaust note. no noise prior to installation 2hrs before. just want to know if this is normal for a short shifter because of the way that its fixed onto the gearbox thru the base plate and clamps and that it transfers the noise of the gearbox thru the shifter itself. is this normal?? if not how can i reduce the noise?? my skyline sounds like my dads old crappy datsun:D:D

It made an awful lot of noise on my car when I put one in, it was really loud and horrid. Ended up taking it out and sell it within a week. That was C's.

Not sure about Nismo short shifter, has anyone tried it? Perhaps Nismo one might be quieter?

probably due to the fact that the new shifter is a solid core, where as the original r33 one has a rubber-filled core to reduce stiffness and noise transfer... this is normal

that makes alot of sense, i can even hear the starter motor turning over chrisply thru the shifter itself..its bizzare. glad to hear that this sound is normal though it is slowly driving me nuts:D:D

I'm not sure about the Skyline Nismo shifter, but I know that the Nismo S13 Silvia/180sx shifter is no where near as short as the C's S13 shifter. The extra noise is the same with the S13 C's shifter so I've been told.

i have no idea what is making the noise, the top clamp is very tight... now that u mention it i might see if there is a gap between the spacer and the top plate / clamp..?

does the fact that it is solid have anything to do with it?

does it matter if the 'wave' washer is under the spacer rather than over it? its difficult to fix as i have no idea what is actually the casue..

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
